Not an easy project to sit thru, but...


I'll probably finish watching it this coming weekend after some meditation and a good yoga session.

I wonder how this movie would have looked if it was assembled by a different editor? The scatter brain approach to this film just goes overboard way too many times. It doesn't even come across as artistic or even pretentious (shit loathe having to use that word) instead feels like a lot of those annoying "here's your daily dose of Internet" videos featured on Youtube, but with different scenes interjecting without warning.

The closest thing that resembles this movie and may have been inspired by it is Damion Packard's "Reflections of Evil". I wouldn't be surprised if he had access to some of this material and borrowed some of the framing and narrative style.
