The Strange Ones
Intruiging but a little too vague for my own liking, doesn't really go in depth with it's topics and the film itself is confused on whether it wants to be surrealistic or not as it struggles to balance both. I do like the dark unnatural vibes of the movie, you can just tell something is not right here and it can be unsettling to watch the stuff unravel. The visuals were actually decent despite being low budget, the mystery of it all was very interesting but here's the catch- what's the point if it was not explored nor executed properly as the content can be a bit too plain to watch especially with it's somber style. Overall it did went quick and was atleast watchable, even with a lot of shortcomings.
