  Vermilion Eyes 1990

  ★★★★½ Watched 02 Dec 2024

  Every time-manufactured, digital translation of a 3rd generation VHS glitch bears an impossible trace of intentionality. A movie made to be lost to time and then remembered. Nathan Schiff's best. The way that the file at least appears to finally completely freak out and lose it at the same moment the movie does, after an hour and a half of teetering on the edge of cohesion and visibility, is incredibly appropriate. The state of the file is so scuzzy and degraded even the cheapest effects have an uncanny realism.
