The final interview is with Brianna Brown and is 75 seconds long, so you can guess how substantive that one gets. The next interview is with Koehler, which is alright, but he mostly just heaps praise on Getty and goes over points we clearly saw in the film. This film, and the story behind it, raise a million questions, and he answers about two. First up are three short, on-camera interviews, all clearly filmed during production.

While I said the DVD was no packed special edition (an audio commentary by the producer who completed the film would've been terrific), it at least has a few short extras that are noteworthy. Both discs also include optional English subtitles. There's also a bit of a reddish hue over everything on the DVD that the BD clears up.īoth releases do give you the option of a stereo or 5.1 mix, but on the blu, only the stereo mix is lossless (PCM) the 5.1 is a lossy AC-3 Dolby Digital mix (obviously both are lossy on the DVD). They're still presumably using the same root DCP file for a master and all, so I'm a little surprised at the distinction, but it's a very satisfying boost whatever the story behind it. Fine detail (and there are a ton of neat little production design and special effects nuggets tucked to peck out and discover in this movie) is really clarified and brought to life in a way that exceeds your average BD/ DVD combo pack. It's a bit soft, like standard def tends to be, but honestly, I didn't really anticipate how much better it would look in HD until I saw Screenbound's blu.

It's anamorphic, 2.35:1, and not interlaced or otherwise troubled. Well, Screenbound sure solved that mystery for us!Īnyway, for a DVD, Vision's disc looks alright. Spot-checking their catalog, it seems like most of their films are DVD-only. I was pretty disappointed this film got a DVD-only release, but thinking about it, since it was started back in 2002, maybe there's some issue where some of the effects were only finished in standard def? But it's just as likely, if not moreso, that Vision Films, the company that finally bought this film out to the world, were just cheap. Michael Berryman hasn't had a horror role this cool since The Hills Have Eyes (sorry, Cut and Run).Ģ017 Vision DVD top 2017 Screenbound BD bottom. And yeah, it was a DVD-only release here in the US, and hardly a packed special edition at that. Yes, it's a mixed bag, but one where the highs are so high that the lows are immaterial. But definitely don't let its total garbage dump of a release strategy put you off seeing it, either. So maybe don't come into this film expecting the greatest horror film since the original Hellraiser you'll probably be disappointed. Plus, there are one or two 'plot convenience' moments and one jokey, meta line of dialogue in the ice cream shop that's so out of place, I can only imagine the director must've left it in the final film on a dare. Yeah, you need some of that exposition, but some judicious editing could've turned a stilted, uneven film into juggernaut. It's like being trapped in a student theater group.

Like I think co-star Sean Patrick Flanery is giving a decent performance overall, but when he starts talking to Dina Meyer (whose performance could use a bit of a jolt) or his psychiatrist, feel free to go out to the kitchen and top up your drinks. On the other hand though, this has some drawn-out, clunky scenes that really feel like the awkward work of a first-time filmmaker. I think their critic just wasn't paying attention. But its narrative still manages to be more straight-forward and clear than either of those films, and pointed criticisms from that Guardian review like, 'characters appear and vanish without warning or explanation, long surrealist interludes go nowhere, and the plot constantly veers into tangents that appear to bear little relevance to the rest of the film' are flat out untrue. Plus, a large element of the story is about dreams, putting it a bit more in the vein of Phantasm. Yes, it's a surreal, in some ways Lynchianhorror flick that shows us the world through the lead character's unreliable perspective, a la Repulsion. It's also not wildly incoherent, the way some write-ups are making it sound. You'd have no idea of its tortured history.

Horror we don't see the actors age a decade and a half through theĬourse of this picture or anything. And Getty may've been working on this film for fifteen years, but heĬouldn't have been shooting it for fifteen years.
