Weekly Movie Review: Unsane (2018)

More of a thriller than horror, but still worthy of a watch-through. You can’t always count on Soderbergh to put together an awesome cast but this one was damn near flawless. Protagonist was a marvel of paranoia and fear, antagonist was creepy and deranged, supporting cast was killer. And the fact that the entire film was shot on an iPhone is just bananas; gives the movie a weird, vintage feel, but Soderbergh still manages to keep it fresh with creative use of camera angles and film-style - instances such as talking directly to the camera. As I said before, not really a horror flick - the idea of the film is scarier than the execution of the film - but still thrilling enough to give it a shot.

6.5/10

Shouldering Heaven

And I was sad

and all the sadder guests at the garden wedding

were dancing

in their question-marked clothing

minds once sewn

with threads now unraveling

down to the roots

of dead trees.

Where are we that we are not home?

Where is home now that the world has turned black?

And you and all

and the gothic melancholy unconscious:

dancing dreams

across the closed eyes of danceless dreamers

a singular mind amidst

the lot of them all, all

down between the cracks and grooves

of dead streets.

Where are we that we are where?

When did nowhere scream “now here” out of the cold walls?

A moth

a melon

a veil

a villain
