An Interesting Enigma

[freydis-e · 3/10 · 28 December 2022]

At time of writing, only 21 people had rated this and there are 3 reviews. It's from 2019, so obviously never got put out there. Two reviewers give this 10, but they have both reviewed the same 2 films (both by this director) and nothing else, so must be his friends or family. The other reviewer wants to give it zero, but it's not that bad.

In fact the acting and script are OK, it's very low budget, the central-idea music is used well and that idea, hiding in there somewhere, is good and original. The big negative: I really struggled to follow. I'm not always the quickest in picking things up and I kept thinking, 'It's good, I'm just not seeing it'. I didn't have a problem getting to the end anyway (and it's not short) but I'm still not much the wiser.

Conclusion: This 2-movie director wanted to avoid being too obvious and clunky in explaining everything and went too far by explaining almost nothing. A real shame - if it had been more accessibly presented, there's probably a good film in there to discover. I wouldn't pay for this, but if you have it for free on some platform why not give it a try? And looks like the guy has other movies on the way. I hope he learns from this and I'll be interested to see what he comes up with.

It's a joke ????

For the two guys who voted 10 for this .... "what" I ask, are you crazy? or maybe you're friends with the makers of this abomination. a film without meaning, with pitiful actors, an absurd and annoying direction, scenes that make no sense and a disgusting and repetitive soundtrack. My rating is 1 but a correct rating for this crap is 0/10.

Bad amateuristic movie

[rolphbronkhorst · 1/10 · 5 January 2023]

After a few minutes of watching, you get the impression looking at a low budget movie: as result of the poor quality acting, poor dialogue, shaking camera images, poor lightning and poor sound mixing.

I got the impression watching a movie made by amateurs with cheap camcorders.

The movie is a bit incoherent jumping from scene to scene. It's a sort of thriller drama movie about a killer and dead people who mysterious stay alive by listening to a specific melody

It has been a long time ago I have seen such a poor quality movie. It was a waste of time to watch it and I guess most of you won't even finish the 1st 15-20 minutes watching this. I regretfully have stopped watching this movie at 1 hr, 6 min. And 46 seconds as it was just simply so bad.

Interesting idea, great music

[awarrenblb · 10/10 · 9 November 2018]

I can't think of any movies this reminds me of, it's a cool idea for a movie and the music is really good!

3 thumbs up!

Super duper mysterious and spooky. Great music, cast, and directing.
