Review of Horror

Horror (2003)
6/10
Not usually an art-house fan, but...

I enjoyed this film for the most part. It was a decent surprise.

Was nice to see Felissa Rose in a film with a decent budget again (although her part here was beyond limited).

The visuals would be the main factor in recommending this flick. The atmosphere is moody and surreal, and the sets interesting enough to keep your attention.

I guess my main problem with this film, and so many like it, is the fact that it drips with pretension. Too often filmmakers (usually on the independent scene) confuse a pretext with a story, and try to force their point of view through visuals instead of coherency. While the director's next film was more thoroughly watchable (and easier to comprehend), this picture is still a nice change of pace for folks who are tired of mainstream cinema. It looks nice, just seems a little bogged down in it's own pretension.
