Garden of Eden

I watched this as soon as I saw it on Amazon VOD! As a huge fan of All of Marcel Walz' films ("Rootwood", "Blood Feast", "Blind", "Pretty Boy" among others!), and a fan of the radiant Sarah French, I wasted no time!

The story is more allegorical than linear-plot driven, concerning a highly wealthy and religious family, who host elaborate masquerade-parties, for well-heeled invitees, with the enticement of having one guests' "ultimate wish" fulfilled. The caveat here is that the outcomes are predetermined, and essentially based in revenge and punishment! The tale unfolds over the course of several months, with the ultimate fate of the well-meaning but ultimately corrupted pious family reaping their karmic rewards for their deeds.

The acting is top-notch across the board, with the always fabulous Sarah French playing a sinister turn in contrast to her usual "good-girl" roles! The direction is stylish and full of surreal imagery, and gore-fans will not be disappointed! Definitely a must-watch!
