A Jamin Winans double-feature presentation.

From the mind of award-winning indie director come and [url=http://www.gog.com/movie/the_frame]The Frame, two very different stories sharing the same vision that the reality as we know it is just a fragile veil hiding something much bigger, more complex, and scarier. Both feature films are available bundled 25% off for the first week, DRM-free on GOG.com. Movies also available separately.

In Ink the forces of light and dark wage their invisible war for dominion over our dreams. Invisible? Not for all. For John, and his daughter Emma the dream realm becomes the reality as they are forced to fight for their souls with an enemy who would seem to originate from their unconscious minds. But is it really what it is?

The Frame has its protagonists, brought together by what seems like pure chance, race through the world as its very fabric quickly unravels thread by thread. A demonic stranger seeks to undo the reality as we know it in a dangerous game of changing rules and uneven playfield. How can two people protect that, which they themselves don't understand?

Let Jamin Winans sweep the reality as you know it from underneath your feet with Ink and The Frame bundled 25% off until Wednesday, December 24, at 10:59AM GMT.

Ink is pretty interesting and weird... Glad to see that some real movies here, even if it's only from a small production company.

These movies getting praised got me interested. Wishlisted for now, so I don't forget about them :D

Wow, a film release that interests me!

But yes, subtitles would be nice. It's incredibly rare for DVD releases (here at least) not to have subtitles, so why should it be different for films here?

catpower1980: subtitles (at least in english)?
EDIT: They both have English subs according to their pages. Did you buy them and find the subs missing or something?

I didn't have time to watch The Frame yet (i already bought the signed BluRay though) but Ink was a great Indie gem. So if you're open for unusual stories and Indie movies, you should give them a chance, at least Ink was one of the best Indie movies I've ever seen. They are no Hollywood AAA productions, so don't expect that kind of movies or you might be a bit disappointed :).

Btw. it's nice to see that these two movies came to gog. In fact I wrote them a mail and asked them to put their movies and gog.com and it seems it happned. I guess I should buy them again here ;). So theres just 11:59 missing here, I hope this movie will be available here as well sooner or later.

silalus: Ink was an astounding movie, one of the most extraordinary, imaginative films I've seen in years. I would rank it with Pan's Labyrinth, or maybe even beyond it. It's a triumphant execution of "show don't tell" in filmmaking.
Right? I am blown away every time by that first face-off scene - no spoilers, so let me just call it the first nighttime altercation. It is one of the best examples of brilliant budget film work I've ever seen.

Bits of the piano score from INK - also written by Jamin Winans - turned up in big-picture trailers for a year or so around the time the film came out. There is so much that's done right in this movie. Though, lest I be guilty of spreading false expectations, it is a very indie film, and that is very wildly obvious throughout.

Ah, finally some more real movies, not documentaries.

I have seen Ink, which was interesting at first. Visually quite interesting, but the style gets old rather quickly.
After viewing this oppressive movie this is how it comes across to me:
The director and other members of the creative team had a brainstorm together with the following question:
What would be cool in a movie?
The ideas allowing for the most impressive visuals and simply to have fun acting have been picked and inserted into the script. The result is an experience with a lot of emotional crescendi, visual wows to give the visual fx something fun to do and many mysterious rituals and people acting important. What it lacks is coherence and the courage to leave things out that do not fit well into the story, however impressive they might have appeared to be as a single scene.

The trailer for Frame has interesting imagery cut together in a jarring way If you don't know whether you are an epileptic susceptible to rapid alternations of dark and light images, you * will * know it after looking at the trailer.

GOG.com: A Jamin Winans double-feature presentation.
Finally you have a real movie on. I've been telling you to get these guys on board since you started GOG Movies. Took you long enough.

Now lets see how you fair getting some classics. You can start from black and white titles not readily available anymore but may still have licenses (e.g., The Thing From Another World. I recall seeing a technicolor/"colorized" version too). You do that and working your way through their (Universal's?) other licenses might not be so difficult.

Looking forward to seeing more of what you can do. We have enough college projects on here as it is. There are much better indie games that you rejected that would have made it easily if they were posted around the time as those movies, back when any game was a step forward.

Why do these movies cost more than one month Netflix DVD rental service?

Because you get to keep them forever? Can watch them as many times and in other devices, even offline?

By the way, all you enthusiast of Ink convinced me to get it. :-)

I absolutely agree, the trailer for The Frame is hardly watchable in my opinion, which really makes me wonder if it's worth picking up... The plot seems interesting enough though. Maybe just wait what the weekend brings... I'll probably pick up Ink anyway, all the goshing about its greatness really made me curious :)

What if you haven't seen it yet? Why would you pay that for a movie where you have no idea if it is good or not?
