Deadwax

I recommend this movie to all of my audiophile friends. The sound design is so good and as a collector myself, I love that someone made a move about a record that can kill you! When you only have a moment in the day for something creepy, these short episodes really hit the spot!

Simply put its a brilliant piece of bizarre horror that appealed to the both the collector in me as well as the horror fan. It has a great moody soundtrack too. Under rated gem IMO

There needs to be more of this Shudder but I have a feeling it sadly hasnt reached an audience

Deadwax is pretty original and overall flows pretty well. The acting is good and the story is captivating. It's more mystery and thriller than horror.

In my opinion, where it falls short is that it leaves a lot to be desired. It feels rushed. Halfway through I already knew it was going to leave a lot of the stuff very open-ended. While I don't automatically hate the approach of leaving some elements vague and open-ended in a story, I felt Deadwax had too many of these elements.

The soundtracks of the series and the dark atmosphere sprinkled with psychedelic visual effects leave a good taste. I just wish they had extended the series at least by half to close some of the open-ended elements which would have more than likely provided a more fulfilling ending.

Overall though, I recommend it. I'm stuck between a 6 and a 7 so rounding up from 6.5.

Much to my surprise & horror, a lot of what's mentioned in the series/film (science wise) Is astonishingly pretty accurate. It led me down a long road of Wiki searches, and I feel smarter for it. I gave it 7 - mainly because the main actress is believable in her role, and to my astonishment, the theories presented in this film/series turn out to be more rooted in reality than that of science fiction. That alone made me appreciate it more than I would had it been too far fetched. It's a pretty smart/well acted low-budget horror/ Syfi flick.

I didn't expect much, but I love the short form delivery and audio centric storyline! When I need a quick horror fix I watch DeadWax.
