Yeah... That was... Wow.
Easily the most terrifying thing I've seen recently.
So much to think about, it feels like it's alive in my brain.
With each of the "characters" having so many iterations, keeping track of who/where/when everything was happening was impossible, but it was astounding how that didn't get in the way of engaging with the "characters" or "plot". The terrifying bits were terrifying, the horrific horrific, the beautiful beautiful, the heart-breaking heart-breaking, the hilarious hilarious etc. That shouldn't be possible with an entity so amorphous.
Something I noticed when I was listening to Fantomas' Directors cut album earlier this week, which I think applies here, is how essential an air of cartoonishness and humour is to a good scare.
If you aren't fully involved with the film many of the visuals and elements of the score would be laugh inducing (The groteque close-ups, ridiculous over-instrumentation), but in the context they work so well.
Hmm, may order that Twin Peaks Gold Box so I can finally see Season 2... |
