Beyond Your Consciousness: The Beginning (2024)
Cool Indie Film
Impressive thriller reminds me of 1970s-era horror - in a good way! ROSEMARY'S BABY comes to mind as the story's central character (Amanda) fights for her sanity and soul. It's a world where supernatural forces lurk around every corner and the audience never knows the real truth - if such a thing exists. I like movies that this - provocative and conversation starters. The film does a great job building suspense and even has a few jump scares. Well-written script gives the actors a lot to do - and a few memorable lines! Overall, I enjoyed this film. It's modest and tight, and way more enjoyable than so many big budget Hollywood horror movies.
Don't Look Now (1973)
Creepy, Sexy, Cool
Fans of '70s psychological-horror will appreciate the sense of dread permeating every scene in this classic thriller. Starring Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie in their chic prime, the story follows a married couple dealing with love, loss, and each other. And also a mysterious red-hooded little girl! To say more would spoil the experience. Director Nicolas Roeg brings a brilliant eye for color and composition to every shot as the city of Venice comes alive. Well, sort of. There is a darkness to it all, and that's ultimately what I love about this movie. It has a mood. A rainy day, stay in and drink coffee kind of mood. Dread, paranoia and a bad hangover. The essence of the early 1970s.
