This is a movie that isn't just some run of the mill horror. It has depth that many wokt fiid appealing. You have to have gone thru some stuff in life and had some years in you to really appreciate films like this. It also helps if you are interested in the magic that is making movies.
The movie can be hard to sell to others. It is out there and I can see how sole could call it pretentious. It isn't. It is a really well thought out film that does things differently. That's why these smaller studio films really provide a dividing line for what some would consider horror.
You have the main guy living a pretty normal life. He gets hired to fill a horror movie. This right there is a no no because the director refuses to hear anyone call his film that. You know when a director says some stuff like that you don't need to listen to anything else they got to say.
This is about real life and real horror. Our dude gets hired by some big name director and it seems like an honor. It's a way to elevate yourself to a higher standing. But immediately you can tell things are not going to go well. The constant battle to get reimbursed for his flight to come out is the kind of thing many people have had to go thru. It's all "I don't care if you don't like my view, you're supposed to be a professional so do your job." Then shortly there after when it comes to being paid like a professional it's all "I thought you were doing this for the love of the project! Be a real artist!" This is the same tool belt that wants to pay you in experience.
So our dude goes from doing National Geographic style projects, to a pretty extreme sounding horror film. You don't see anything happen, but you get to see the old days style sound fx being done. You see someone trying to do their job while constantly being talked down to, dismissed, and just all around poorly treated. Once again many know these feelings.
The film inside this movie is about the evils of witches and how they took over people. Really it's just an alagory for how personal boundaries are so important, but many of us we're forced to just accept being treated bad to make others not feel poorly for being butt pipes. That's why I said people that are a bit older would appreciate it because this was our way of life for so long.
Being forced to endure horrible working conditions, not being paid properly but still trying to do what you are supposed to do. Don't rock the boat. Well that changes a person. That's what this movie is about.
