Driving home late at night during a heavy rainstorm, Glen experiences car trouble. Near where his car gets stuck, he spots a house, knocks on the door and is greeted by an oddly friendly middle-aged man, Arthur, and his younger wife, Cyndi. The strange couple pours him a drink, and then more drinks, followed by an unexpected offer that Glen can’t refuse. Elsewhere, a young woman, Katie, is feeling emotionally weighed down by a secret romantic arrangement that feels like a textbook case of gaslighting. And at the same time, in a nondescript research facility, medical professional Julie begins questioning her role in a bizarre experiment, fearing that she’s doing more harm than good.
今年目前的最佳小成本电影,真的很小成本,甚至是高级学生作业。导演在极度简陋的拍摄条件下完成了一部“醒着的盗梦空间”。影片首先让人眼前一亮的是行进到中段才开始丢包袱,前50分钟的人物关系、情节、剪辑、甚至逻辑都是割裂的,几度令人崩溃,这其中有编导能力问题,但也有他们刻意反类型叙事的追求。影片的问题特别多。。用声波频率达成催眠,混淆时间、空间、认知、记忆的点子不错,但文本上却没有将A\B故事合并好,编...
用催眠术带偏可怜人的老梗,主线剧情类似邱礼涛导演的《惊心动魄》,科学家在戏里戏外催眠着一对苦命鸳鸯,愣是把女的忽悠怀了,男的忽悠瘸了;本片的确有点新意,但是拍的一团乱麻,让观众看的云里雾里。值得一提的是,观影过程中作为观众能和电影里的男女主角一样,产生不适和模糊感,或许整部电影也在某些地方植入了催眠暗示,让我明天中上一个体彩特等奖。
是个多重梦境+催眠师的片子,小成本玩儿法不错,特别好的是声效,尖利的超声和遥远模糊的声音很不错。但差在了打碎叙事其实做得不是很好,一些信息给的要么冗余要么缺失
很久没看小众冷门片了。剧本框架不错,由声音构建的叙事陷阱,但低成本限制导致格局极小,悬念在中段开始瓦解,收尾单薄泄气。
