...the execution was lacking. It was 75 minutes. The extra 15 minutes - if used wisely - could have made this film better. It's a reader's digest sort of film. The camera man is always there, but we know nothing about him. His interpretations of what goes on and the missing parts are described in small black screens with more info. The acting of the protagonist and the other characters that are filmed...well, they weren't given a lot to work with, but I gotta say they acted as if they were fresh out of drama school doing summer stock. Typical horror tropes infested the film. But yet..
I liked it.
Alcoholism, self-loathing, and delusions are front and center in this film. It's definitely a film you should watch without any lights on to get the full effects. But the torture that the protagonist seemed to be dealing with was poorly expressed. The constant wandering of the halls of the hospital may have taken up about 20% or more of the time in the film...it got really, really, tedious. Again, time that could have been better allotted. Plot holes and vague references were all over the place. I will watch a film despite all that, so long as it keeps me engaged. "What's gonna happen next?" That's what kept my eyes on the screen.
Great idea, but poorly executed. At least it's only 75 minutes long.
