Reviews
Admirable film.
A Masterpiece!
It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
There is horror, but I would use the label surrealism. There are conversations and images that invite you to bring your own interpretations. There are subjects of The Beyond that we just aren't equiped to understand, even when we do get glimpses, and I think this film presents that well. It is slow, and the ending is non-conclusive, so if that bothers the viewer, not the movie for you. If you are open to unique ideas and heavy symbolism, it is extremely enjoyable.
I couldn't even get half way through. Terrible, terrible movie.
BLACK GHOSTS is another example of a garishly-shot indie horror flick, strong on atmosphere but low on general production and technical values. The plot would be stretched out for a ten-minute short but here feels ridiculously flimsy. A woman dies and her girlfriend is unable to come to terms with the death, so she decides to open a portal into the netherworld in a bid to see her again. Unfortunately this leads to her being haunted by sinister spirits. There's a lot of primary colours and general darkness, but bad acting and a lack of cohesion that renders it very testing on the viewer's patience.
