According to Wikipedia, a fugue state is a rare psychiatric disorder characterized by reversible amnesia for personal identity, including the memories, personality and other identifying characteristics of individuality. New indie flick Fugue updates the classic ghost story formula by putting an edgy psychological thriller spin on that very condition.
Directed and co-produced by Barbara Stepansky and written and co-produced by Matt Harry, Fugue stars Abigail Mittel, Richard Gunn, and Erika Bruun-Andersen. The film has screened at film festivals around the country, winning Best Horror Film at the 2010 Mississippi International Film Festival.
Synopsis:
After moving in with her boyfriend, a young woman comes to believe her new home is haunted. But when she discovers the last eight months have been erased from her memory, she must unearth what caused the condition ... before the past destroys her present.

There are two symbols that are central to understanding Fugue. The primary symbol here is the fossil, and the secondary symbol the egg. These two are connected in strange ways. A fossil is a memory that has been frozen in time. It is a dead thing, but its last moment of life has been captured in stone. An egg is life that has not yet come into being. It is a still object, like a fossil, but it represents the future instead of the past.
In Fugue the fossil is present almost from the beginning, while the egg does not come in until later. Under normal circumstances, birth comes before death, but Fugue is at its heart a ghost story, interested not in the normal, but the paranormal.
This is not to say that...

Like, what's the deal, Neil?
Neil isn't a real person.
In the past 5 years I've seen women horror, sci-fi, and fantasy directors representing at least one third of all genre film festival screenings in the United States and in Europe. This year, not so. While there are a few features making the rounds, the same ones appear in all the fests and often they're the Only film directed by a woman in the entire lineup.
Check it out:
Horror/drama After.life, directed Agnieszka Wojtowicz-Vosloo, already made a theatrical release in the USA and was recently screened in the United Kingdom at London Frightfest alongside only one other horror film by a woman (Hélène Cattet co-directed the awful giallo Amer with Bruno Forzani) and the violent action flick Isle of Dogs by Tammi Sutton and is now in the official lineup for Sitges, Spain. Unless there are films Sitges has not announced yet,...
