I don't know why some say Re-cycle had no story as I followed the story just fine. A woman who is a writer, who feels despondent, lonely, creatively blocked, becomes drawn to the supernatural, in some ways likely suicidal, lost, reaching for anything, opens the doorway to another world... a supernatural darkness, where all things abandoned reside, a sort of collective unconscious dumping ground, but she cannot leave on her own...

Remember Dante's Divine Comedy and how it begins. I found myself alone in a dark wood... like Dante, she finds herself so lost.

This movie has a "Nothing" likened to The Neverending Story that erodes the world of the Abandoned, that the energies can be recycled back into the collective consciousness. Although in TNS the Nothing was simply humanities lack of belief in this magical world, here it is simply part of the process.

I actually really liked this movie because it tied in to so many ways I perceive the world and what makes it tick.
