The Dark Red

Interesting. A schizophrenic woman who may or may not actually be a mindreader is held in a psychiatric facility and insists her former boyfriend’s family abducted her baby to gain the powers that run in her bloodline. Sometimes I find a movie that I particularly enjoy because it shoots only to be what it is—doesn’t overreach or try to be something it’s not, but does what it’s trying to do effectively enough. I’m reminded a little bit, though this is a totally different genre and type of movie, of “Beyond The Black Rainbow”, in that this film, like that one, just is what it is… shot and paced just a little differently than most films are. It probably helps that the acting is decent and the lead actress is fairly charismatic.The plot sags a tiny bit at the end into a conventional denouement, unfortunately, but, this one, despite not being a great movie by any stretch of the imagination or even a particularly good one, and not one I’d recommend to anyone else, nonetheless is oddly memorable, and I liked it . I could see watching it again sometime.
