Reel 2

To be upfront I've never seen Reel but was told from a friend I respect that it wasn't required to see Reel 2. I took her advice and was glad I did. At first I wasn't sure what to expect but as the story progressed I was left gobsmacked in ways few movies have left me before. I have a hard time categorizing it as a straight horror film as there were just as many elements included from the avant-garde, comedy and drama. I'm not surprised this hasn't been reviewed more. This is not a movie for the average movie goer. Nothing is spoon-fed. At times I was reminded of the feeling I had watching Eraserhead for the first time back in the early 80's. I'm not saying it's anything like a David Lynch film but the way it seemed to create a new language out of nothing was definitely comparable. Erotic, shocking, hilarious, and yes extremely, extremely horrific. My only fear is that it may take the world a few years to catch up to the style presented here. This may be a movie destined for future generations to enjoy.
