From Within (2008)
After watching Inception, I had no idea what to think about
the next movie I would watch. Inception was that good, and truly left a surreal
impression on me. After some debate inside my mind, I decided the best way to
find out, was watch something as I prepared for my new class to start on
Friday. My selection for the evening was from the After Dark Horrorfest, From
Within.
Plot/ A small Maryland
town is gripped by a curse which causes residents to take their own life one
after another.
When I picked this up, I had no idea what I was about to get
into, especially with the movie preceding this being Inception. That being
said, what I found was an exceptional flick, and one of the best in the After
Dark Horrorfest. In fact, almost everything worked. The storyline was layered
and interesting, the acting solid, the cinematography and production values
above average, and the atmosphere, aided by the soundtrack was dark and heavy.
Sure, the characters and character development seemed to be a struggle
throughout, and did take a little bit away from the overall feel of the movie.
In the end, this may be more of a
psychological thriller than horror flick, but that does not matter. It
is extremely entertaining and a movie that should be watched. If you have not
seen it, check it out (especially since it can be had for five bucks in an
After Dark Horrorfest 8 movie set).
