Everlasting

This is a unique exploration of taboos and violence told through the eyes, and camera, of Matt a brooding teenager whose girlfriend, Jessie, went missing and was discovered dead after entering an underworld of drugs, fetish modeling and increasingly dark appetites. The performances weren't over the top or melodramatic, the story unfolded in unexpected ways taking the viewer on a chilling ride.

It was interesting to see Jessie's character take shape largely in the past tense, through flashbacks and the video footage taken by Matt the blend of mediums with the video camera included as a plot element was not hokey at all but rather helped the story take shape in a pseudo documentary style. I would expect to see more of Adam Perez (Matt) and Valentina de Angelis, two young actors who seem poised for big roles in the future.

All in all a very unique and riveting indie film. Well worth the watch!
