Sometimes when I have to work late at the institute, I lose
interest in finding something to watch. That was not the case tonight, as I
decided to check out something different after an episode of Charmed. In the end, I settled on the
2014 supernatural entry Necrophobia
(AKA Necrophobia 3D).
Plot/ Dante is a tailor who after losing his twin brother to
death became phobic which prevents him from being in contact with death.
Whenever he is in front of a dead body, he experiences a creepy feeling that
makes him lose his mind.
Having twins, it is always fun to find creepy movies about
or involving twins. While this movie may not be super creepy, it is definitely
strange and has a weird disjointed feel to it. There were some solid parts to
the movie (even if it lacked subtitles) including some decent performances, an
odd premise, and some dark atmospheric moments early on. Unfortunately, the
weirdness and tension that drew me in early on gave way to a tremendous amount
of confusion the longer the movie progressed. It seemed like the entire movie
was stuck in a strange loop. In the end, I did like some of the strange
happenings, but felt disconnected by the repeating storyline. The movie is an
interesting experiment, but it felt like the filmmakers were trying too hard to
create something strange and surreal. It is great for a background while
writing, but other than that it offers very little in entertainment value.
