The plot revolves around Maddy, an adolescent girl, and Owen, a younger boy, who are obsessed with a 20-30 year old colour TV horror series called Pink Opaque.
The show features bizarre costumes, an iceman clown, a grotesque moon face, and a bad character named Melancholy, who cannot harm you if you don't think about them.
Female young girls get tattoos on their necks for no reason.
The show feels like ominous irrational dreams, with references to Méliès's coloured 1902 Trip to the Moon and Tourneurs' 1943 I walked with a zombie... for no apparent reason.
There's no reason why kids would be drawn to such low-quality, low-resolution television programming with a 4/3 ratio.
The pink colour, whatever symbol it may represent, is more than visually disturbing.
After half an hour, there is no rhythm, nothing happens, the lines are slow and monotonous, and the acting is painful.
It feels like a teenage school movie, with very cheap low-skilled music intercutting for no apparent reason.
Maddy is gay (who cares), he is uninterested in girls (who cares), and he believes he has a problem.
She leaves town to avoid death for no apparent cause... Owen's head is inside a television; his father pulls him out, and he yells, "You're not my father", so what.
Some undeveloped dead-end clues.
So they have some global identification issues, who cares?
The plot skips a few years twice, a TV burns in a yard, for no reason, and the show is cancelled.
The unstable Maddy returns after her disappearance, for no apparent cause; Owen remains withdrawn, without passion, addicted to the show.
In a pub, they discuss the series' confusion with their own lives.
They agree not to talk about it, for no reason...
A band with a female singer makes a reference to Marylin Manson, painfully crying out for no apparent reason.
While Melancoly is said to rip out hearts to feed the moon.
In the series, the protagonist is buried alive, and Maddy describes her burial with every shovel.
She saw herself on the television, creeping out...like from a horrible dream.
She tells her pointless, uninteresting feelings for what felt like ten minutes.
Owen says, "I'm dying now..." cuts his chest open, tv rays out. Now he finds the show dull, exactly as I did from the start, for this movie.
It gives no reason for anything, which is very cheap and easy.
Figure out whatever you want.
