Movie Reviews of Epidemic
Movie Review: "FORK"ING AWFUL
Summary: 1 Stars
THERE IS A SCENE IN THIS WHERE A CHARACTER JABS AT HER OWN EYES WITH A DINNER FORK. EPIDEMIC WILL MAKE YOU WANT TO DO THE SAME. MY OWN LOVING OF DANCER IN THE DARK AND THE STATED MOVIE WITHIN A MOVIE PLOT WAS WHAT LURED MYSELF AND 2 UNSUSPECTING FRIENDS INTO THE THEATRE FOR THIS, BESIDES NOW HAVING A RUNNING JOKE EVER SINCE ABOUT THE NAME OF THE MOVIE BEING PRINTED ON THE SCREEN (?!) THE ENTIRE TIME, I SINCERELY WANTED ALL OF OUR MONEY BACK WHEN IT WAS OVER. THE PLOT IS INSCRUTABLE, THE DIALOGUE STILTED PROTRACTED AND HORRIBLY BORING AND JUST TRUST ME WHEN I URGE YOU TO WALK AWAY NOW BEFORE YOU HAVE TO REGRET IT. WATCH DANCER IN THE DARK INSTEAD.
Summary of Epidemic
From controversial director Lars von Trier (Breaking the Waves, Dogville, Dancer in the Dark) comes the bizarre story of a director (played by von Trier himself) and a writer who create a script about a mysterious plague that engulfs Europe, only to find their horrific scenario coming true in real life. Featuring Udo Kier (Andy Warhol's Frankenstein, Suspiria, Armageddon), Epidemic is a dark and original horror film with a twist: Is the epidemic real, or is it only a dark figment of von Trier's imagination?It's reassuring to know Lars von Trier was always unconventional. Epidemic, von Trier's second feature, comes close to being a horror movie, except it keeps derailing itself to noodle while a director (played by von Trier) and screenwriter (screenwriter Niels Vorsel) improvise a scenario about a plague epidemic. Their struggles are shot in grainy 16 mm., while flashes of the intended film are in stunning 35. Epidemic is meandering enough to test the patience of even devoted von Trier fans, but it always looks good even when it looks bad, if that makes any sense, and the finale--which involves hypnotism, one of the Danish director's early obsessions--will give a chill to genre fans looking for a "gotcha." Von Trier regular Udo Kier pops up, and the film wouldn't be complete without its logo: the title branded onto the upper-left corner for most of the movie. Lars, you devil. --Robert Horton
