The "black and white, for effect" thing has been DONE TO DEATH!! Why the F to people still think that makes a film better in ANY WAY?! Seriously, that ruined the movie for me. Besides all the overly crazy crap that didn't need to be in the movie. It's just stupid in my oppinion. 2/10 stars for me.

Budget: $60,000
Simple answer: cause it is.
Why do morons think b&w="artsy", "pretentious" or "artistic (as if making that choice is a bad thing)? Is OP the kind of person who dislikes old films because of the lack of colors? Would PI really look better if it had colors?
shareIt's an aesthetic choice. If it doesn't make sense to you, don't worry about.
shareim really hoping this a troll post. if that's the case, well done. if not, i implore you to look at the film's low budget, and to research how film stock works.
