In the Dark 2000

Watched 31 Oct 2024

Adding to the Shocktober-abetted spike of recent praise - this is a major discovery. Starts off like a number of garrulous post-Clerks credit card indies before nimbly escalating into Demonlover/Red Rooms territory, all while retaining the ‘cursed object dredged up from a waterlogged storage space’ aura that makes the best SOV films so hypnagogic and bewitching. Almost hard to believe its modest origins as essentially a proof-of-concept project for Richard Laymon’s oeuvre as a viable cinematic property, but then everything that’s good here can be chalked up to agility and resourcefulness rather than calculation. (full on YouTube.)

This shouldn’t have made me think of The Emperor’s Naked Army Marches On.

More movies should have a 10-minute end credit sequence that recaps the movie using B-roll footage accompanied to a medley of songs the director likes.

Monteiro's João de Deus character is like Chaplin's Tramp combined with Chaplin's IRL sex life.
