Bliss is an interesting horror movie that in its components reminds a a lot of the Gaspar Noe Movies. Artists, drugs, subculture, violence, sex, loud music and flashing visuals with strobing lights and tinted color schemes.
So, the whole looks is interesting while at its base Bliss is a horror story about an artists descent into a subculture of drugs and filth. The soundtrack consist of a lot of fuzzy and noisy toner rock, gothic and metal tunes in the background while main character Dezzy is stumbling through the cities subculture in clubs and drug dealers places just to return back to her creative place where amidst her descent the creative blockis loosened on her Bliss trip and slowly her masterpiece is created on canvas with her being drenched in blood, swear and paint, constantly snorting drugs while losing the grip on reality and time with increasing black outs.
I won't spoil too much but the basic story is one of the artist becoming its own masterpiece, all involving some weird dips into cannibalism, splatter and vampire themes. The movie takes its time but does not hold back on the gore in its final third.
Definitly an interesting piece but its not a psychological movie like those of Noe but ends up in well known horror tropes. To me the ending was kind of a letdown but still the visuals and also the acting of the main characters made it a nice roller coaster ride.
