Long overlooked study of a man's madness is brainy and well realized on a modest budget. A horror writer's fantasy world collides with reality, causing a landslide in his personal and professional life. A very downbeat and disorienting tale filled with surreal horrific imagery. Capable performances and original direction elevate this to 'above average' status...it's definitely worthy of a rental, if not a purchase. 7/10
