Arrebato

GRADE: 8.5

A low budget horror filmmaker gets in touch with an eccentric who is trying to film his consciousness during drug abuse.

Director: Iván Zulueta
Country of Origin: Spain

THOUGHTS:

A very strange and unique horror movie, in which the monster is cinema itself (or, at least, the obsession with cinema). Bears some resemblance to Persona, with its superimposed images and juxtapositions between the real and the filmed/recorded. The plot could have been a bit tighter, but then again, this feels like one of those movies that could reveal things to you on a second viewing. A one-of-a-kind experiment.
