Movie Reviews of MindFleshMovie Review: Sincere effort that had much potential but falls short Summary: 3 Stars
This film had potential. Who ever put this together has their thumb on what is and can be visceral and terrifying in films. It is shot well, had decent music, and even had semi-realistic acting. The slight cultural separation that comes comes from it being shot in England adds to its realism. Still the film falls flat, or 1/2 flat anyway. It would be a great film to put on at a Halloween party and have music running over it with the sound cut off. It's lack of traditional narrative structure leans in the direction of Videodrome. Videodrome had a story and then deteriorated as the film progressed and it worked well. This film is nonlinear from the start and it never quite materialized for me. It was not a disaster. The film could grow on me. I will be watching it at least once more to see what more I can cull. This is a good thing, for most films today are usually destined for the $5 bin at Wall Mart within a seasons time. Love it or hate it I could tell it was made by artists and not a studio looking to churn out the next lame Photoshop poster with something resembling a film attached along with the now almost prerequisite theatrical/directors cut for DVD & Blu-ray, bla bla bla. I can not even remember how I stumbled upon this but if you are looking for something different and sincere, albeit far from great, then this is for you. Remember though, this is no masterpiece but it does have a student film style charm to it. If it grows on me I'll let you know.
