User Reviews

Silent Hill meets Gummo with the ambitious intellect of Enter The Void

This is what the Silent Hill film should have felt like. Perhaps not with such over-the-top, disturbing content and subject matter - but the atmosphere and creativity of this film is 100% dead on - couldn't possibly be more shocking, discomforting, confusing, or eerie. It just reminds me of the very first time I played the first couple of Silent Hill games - that's why I was talking about the film as well. Not many things that exist match this level of creative darkness.

The actual subject matter truly takes it to the next level in a few areas as well - we'll just say brutal gore and sexual scenarios involving people who should not be in sexual scenarios with each other. That is the aspect that reminded me of Gummo and other similar films by similar filmmakers such as Harmony Korine or Larry Clark. Couldn't get much more offensive or disturbing.

Now, one of the only flaws in the entire movie is a few of the voice actors are a little hard to deal with - but that's not enough to even force me to give it a 9 instead of a 10. This is a one-of-a-kind experience, and it's surreal - bad voice acting just adds to the absurdity of it.

The concepts are extremely innovative and thought provoking - offering perspectives you most likely would not have thought of before involving God, death, and .... well, the damaged psyche.

I'm not going to lie. I think this is my choice for "Best Film of 2012" thus far.

Props mr. ScreamerClauz .... (that name... are you serious?)
