Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe entire production was a family affair. It's written, directed, and produced by John Adams, his wife Toby Poser, and their daughter, Zelda. They also star, shoot, and compose the film's score. Their democratic directing process is if multiple Adamses have varying ideas for how a scene should be shot or acted, their modus operandi was to shoot it every way and select the best option. The best ideas always won, not the stronger voice.
Featured review
Amazingly well crafted for such a low-budget Indie film. There is a LOT of talent behind these people...
Basically that... Extremely well made. Very moody, atmospheric and quite effective. REALLY loved the soundtrack which I feel made all the difference. Scenes that could have looked really mundane literally came to life with the amazingly powerful, sometimes subtle, and always very unusual soundtrack.
The cinematography was beautiful. I'm guessing this was shot somewhere in Upstate New York (license plates) Stunning outdoor shots. Really dug the total David Lynch moments, which were few but I felt extremely effective. I could see David Lynch having to change his pants after seeing this 😊
Considering the principles are all in one family, the acting is quite good throughout. In my lowly and wretched opinion it is THE STYLE that makes this film really work. In other hands and without the unique soundtrack, many of these scenes would just seem mundane, but not the way these filmmakers do it, not at all.
This is a very moody and pondering film. It has a very heavy and real sense of dread and suspense in every frame. There are just a couple of very dry, almost throwaway lines that are actually funny. But, overall this movie is indeed as serious as a heart attack. Yes, it is somewhat 'Arty' (thus the strong David Lynch references) but, these people have REAL talent for making Horror movies, let me tell you. Please don't go by some of the 3 or 4 line tossed off 'Reviews' panning this film. But, I would say that if you are expecting more of a straight forward, obvious horror movie, this isn't really it. This takes you really getting drawn into the story and its weird but very effective turns.
After seeing this one, I'm really looking forward to seeing their next one, "HELLBENDER" I would say that if you appreciate a slow-burn, but deeply atmospheric Horror movie that has some nice abstract elements, and you don't mind the somewhat slower pace, you should really enjoy what I genuinely feel is an extremely well crafted film.
