Score one for AI. This small indie film has haunted me for years, as I forgot to review it when I watched it, until tonight I typed one image I vividly remembered as well as a few other details into ChatGPT and asked what film it was from, and after one wildly wrong try, it got it right.
This is a small indie horror flick that stuck with me just for being really weird. A man meets his drug addict friend out at a remote cabin the friend is squatting in, and chains the friend up, forcing him to spend a week going cold turkey. Strange encounters with other drug addicts, local security, and a team of foreign researchers there doing psychedelics begin to occur and they find films and videos that change with each viewing, and what is initially assumed to be haunted land turns out to be more a postmodern 4th-wall indie flick type thing in which media and stories figure into the story. All in all a pretty original outing, which scores big with the part of me that enjoys unique little indie horror flicks like “Yellowbrickroad” and “Pontypool”.
I dunno. It’s been so long since I saw it I honestly can’t remember if it’s even good enough to recommend. But it had images that stuck with me all this time, and 10 years later I want to watch it again, so, honorable mention.
