I love movies that lie outside the mainstream. Actually,
most things that I do, listen to, or watch all fall into this realm. For me,
exploring alternatives keep things exciting, and in some ways keeps my creative
mind open. This next flick, the anthology Little Deaths is definitely a
exploration of an alternative world.
Plot/ This anthology is composed of three disturbingly
sensual and terrifying short narratives, unified by the twin themes of sex and
death.
When searching for horror movies to watch, many, while there
is a touch of realism, are too unbelievable. For me, when a movie is made that
is disturbing because of the realism, that is even better. That is what I liked
about this one. Yes, it is not the goriest or violent flick; it is the
alternative realisms that make it connect to ones mind. The acting,
cinematography and characterizations all work inside the confines of the three
stories. Sure, the stories are not connected by anything other than a sprinkling
of sexual overtones, but that still works. In the end, this is an erotic entry
into the world of horror and one that is worth watching. It does have some
bondage and fetish overtones, so if that is not your thing, you may want to go
a different route.
