Inspired by Inferno in the same way that my morning diarrhea is inspired by a tasty lasagna dinner. Could barely tell what was happening, and when I could, I sure wasn't impressed. An approximation of a horror, southern noir type of thing with only notable aspect being a brief posthumously released Matthew McGrory performance and Irwin Keyes showing up. Really a minor cavalcade of interesting intense looking character actors. But in service of an unwatchable turd.
Like half the dang thing is tilted at a 33 degree angle.
This whole movie felt like one super long trailer. I literally have no idea what actually happened during this.
I pride myself in watching entire movies, and let me tell you, in this case, pride goeth before the fall
So you telling me everyone in this town retarded, disfigured, or insane?
the more you watch the harder it gets to continue
So I can’t say that much of this film is good or makes sense. But on the plus side, here’s a micro-feature making the most out of its paltry budget and putting in some effort. Are some of the images out of place or possibly irrelevant to what’s happening? Maybe, but more importantly, they (the images) had some thought and attempts at craft put into them.
this movie is impossible to tell whats going on by design
There's a good story in this, but the execution felt more style over substance. I understood what they were trying to achieve and the look of the film is done well with a constant dream like dreary state, but the narrative gets lost in translation on screen and while it's not technically a hard film to figure out, things still do get a bit confusing at points. Especially when some dialogue is faint and hard to comprehend.
all movies are bad but this one might be proud of it
