The Shadows (2007)
2/10
Total Nihilism
19 April 2020
The first part of the film is watchable, and coherent. A man ( bisexual ? ) trying to finish a thriller/horror novel. Then certain people move into his life and identity or even existence seems to be put into question. End of spoilers, and anyway the total nihilism of these new creatures of the night, as Bela Lugosi in the film ' Dracula ' put it. who take over end all narrative clarity. It has homosexual sex in it, but in the context of the film appeared irrelevant. It is what I call a Post-Nothingness film and I give it a 2 as some young or old juveniles could well want to write a thesis on it. There are many Universities of the absurd out there, and as our society falls apart they may well proliferate. I say good luck to the Shadows that will if possible overwhelm us.
