Re-Cycle

I went and saw the Pang brother's Re-Cycle tonight.

Holy shit!

 

Wow!  Some of you have got to see this.  It does have problems.  The story is kinda meh and there isn't much in the way of character developement.  Also, in the version I saw, the subtitles were horrible.  You'd think they'd have someone with, at least, passable English go over that shit, but I guess not.  Despite all of that, I fucking loved it. 

 

There was some freaky shit in that movie.  The easiest way to give someone a sense of what a movie is like is to compare it to something they've seen before.  It's impossible to do that with just one or two movies when you're talking about Re-Cycle.  I'm going to have to mention five, maybe six, different movies to give you an idea of what it was like to watch this.  So, imagine taking The Neverending Story and mixing it with What Dreams May Come.  Then you add a bit of In the Mouth of Madness, Carnival of Souls, and Silent Hill.  Now, mash all that together, add some crazy The Adventures of Baron Munchausen style visuals  in there and then shape that into an asain horror film.  That was what it was like.

 

Goddamn! that was some crazy shit.  There were people falling from the sky and dead people walking around and hanging from trees and foetuses and floating mountains and fields of giant doll pieces...  A few parts of the movie were creepy enough to give me that, "Oh shit!  I'm scurred," chest tingle, too. 

 

Loved it.  Seek it out.
