Blood-Red Ox

Taking a holiday trip to the rainforest together, a man and his boyfriend arrive at a nature preserve in Bolivia to help out with a friend only to find himself inundated with a series of gruesome dreams and visions that point to something coming for his soul and must try to uncover their meaning.

This one turned out to be quite an enjoyable effort. Among the films' better features here is the influx of generally unnerving imagery to great effect throughout. Employing an artistically-stimulating style of large-scale, red-tinged sequences of a giant red ox looming at the very end after encountering a slew of warped and demented figures targeting them beforehand, the sequences here are incredibly rich visually and equally disturbing tonally. Seeing how much they impact the characters and how much emotional damage brings about a series of fine shock scenes made even more explicit by the reveal of them being dreams. They're genuinely frightening enough that the idea of them unraveling a person's mind trying to come to terms with what's going on as the series of revelations that come about in the final half involving the figures constantly having their reality switched out from under them and gives this it's best feature. There isn't much wrong here, as this one tends to come under one general drawback. The wholly convoluted and nearly impossible-to-decipher screenplay causes this to be quite difficult to get through at points as the host of issues that crop up due to that nearly derail it at points. Foregoing any kind of linear structure by having conversations be repeated with the same characters in different locations under different circumstances, having the same scenario go through itself several times over, and featuring memory loss be the culprit for numerous miscommunications between them, it's incredibly easy to get lost in what's going on. That gets furthered by the highly complex subplots present with the value of rainforest preservation, mental health, and a person's fractured identity that is brought up which make this one a mess to get any understanding about. Very little is explained, and it makes this wholly frustrating not being to figure out what's going on.

So let me start off by saying this this film is not the type of movie that somebody should be watching that is under the age of 17. There is a lot of of scenes that are for the older age range. I mean in all honesty it is not the best but it isn't half bad either and it's definitely worth the watch. Once this movie gets to it and it does have a bit of a slow start but once you get to the plot, it really begins to all unfold in a timely manner and all the pieces begin to come together there's some great shots some really good cinematic storyline, and the film in its entirety really gets the message across. Kudos to the cast and crew, job well done and I would definitely recommend this film to this who are junkies of the horror genre.

Oh, my goodness! Probably one of the worst storylines that I've ever watched...and to the very end. I stuck with it since there are a couple of attractive men running around nearly naked or naked for a significant amount of time. Hence, the 3 star rating.

The problem I had with this film was that every time I thought I was seeing a clear, logical and convincing plot develop, it immediately shifted or abruptly changed.

This contributed greatly to the confusing and unclear events throughout the film. I never felt as though I could get into the characters and felt lost.

So, in the final analysis, who knows where this movie is trying to go? Watch with incomprehension in mind.

This film is not recommended for minors because there are many 18+ scenes and in my opinion it is suitable for viewing with a partner. And also this film is very fantastic so that this film is very liked by many young people, especially since there are many adult scenes. For the actors in this film are quite interesting and have extraordinary talent so that this film looks more interesting and the scenes carried out by the actors are very original and deep into the roles. What I don't like about this film is because this film is very difficult to find and has to go through a lot of trials on the website and also the film is too scary so the intimate scenes are not shown.
