Spike is a great Independent Horror Film. This movie reminds me of the kind spirit buried within the "Beast", from the classic tale of "Beauty and the Beast". Throughout the film, you transition from fearing "Spike" to feeling for him. The script was totally mastered by a believable cast of characters, who delivers flawlessly. I would recommend this film to all independent or "B" movie lovers. I was easily carried away by this romantic horror. I would definitely keep an eye on this film, I think its an obvious choice for cult classic status. I can see why Spike has won several independent movie awards. Robert Beaucage displays his talent for creating a "visual language of horror" in this innovative Gothic fantasy.
