ClearMind

No pun intended - also not really ... more like clearing house ... or whatever it would be called. But even that ... well not sure how much I can say here ... let's just say that you do have brutal scenes, but also some ... well twists that may not be entirely everyones cup of tea ... the people who made this thought about doing something clever ... and for some it might (will) work ... but you have to decide that.

Losing someone is always painful ... how to deal with it is everyones own way to ... I would like to say salvation? But also you have to acknowledge parts of the story - whether that makes sense or not ... that's a different story - and again no pun intended ... it might feel like a different story ...

"Clear Mind" is an exhilarating and enjoyable cinematic experience, seamlessly blending suspense and humor from start to finish. The story introduces a cast of delightful characters in a story that strikes the perfect balance between engagement and relatability, never taking itself too seriously. The stellar performances, coupled with impressive cinematography, seamless editing, and a captivating musical score, contribute to the film's overall excellence. "Clear Mind" kept me on the edge of my seat with its fast-paced plot and entertaining characters. I give it two thumbs up and recommend you give it a watch.

I totally enjoyed this movie as it was different then most of the horror comedy coming out lately in the last few years. Writing is fun and the acting is great from some familiar faces you've seen across streamers over the years. The lead played by Rebecca Crescoff was amazing in that HBO show Hung, if anyone remembers that. Here she is a totally different character with a dark side of sadness. Or whats his face Kadeem from A Different World and the short lived Moonhaven is also funny, married to a pill of a women. All these character interactions created by the writer present like a play, letting the characters relationships development like a dramady, saving the action and the light-twist for Act 3 - instead of the more popular horror comedys that play out in a typical fashion.

Worth the watch!

I was sitting in my bedroom, laptop on my lap, wondering what I could find to watch on YouTube. Checked out some shorts, craft ideas, etc. And then Clearmind popped up. The artwork for the movie was pretty cool, so before I looked anything up for reviews, I would give it a shot. Well it is a very slow going movie, the action scenes leave you "ho-humming" and the acting was not necessarily bad, but definitely needed upgrading in some spots. The main issue besides all of that was the fact that within the first 15 minutes of the movie, I completely configured the plot and the ending, and that is one of the things I hate when I watch something new like this. At that point I had to force myself to watch it, just to make sure I was right. I recommend you to go to YouTube to watch it, since it is free and you don't need the premium account or anything. Your best bet is when it is rainy outside, all the chores are done and you have nothing else to do, check it out. You may not make it through the whole thing before clicking on a craft idea or one of the shorts. Good Luck.

This movie subverted my expectations because it didn't have a lot of the faults I associate with modern low-budget cinema. It was competently filmed and edited. The actors were well directed. They spoke to each other naturally and at times it felt like watching real people. So what's the problem then? Well, I don't want to give spoilers but let's just say that for a viewer to be invested in a film the viewer has to feel like they are watching something that approximates reality. OR if one is watching something that is supposed to be fantasy, one at least has to have a grasp of the rules that apply to that fantastical universe. Otherwise it would be a free for all, right? Anything can happen. Nothing means anything. Does anyone every really want to sit and hear a detailed account of someone else's dream? Probably not... but why? I would argue because there aren't any stakes involved. If your best friend show up at your door and says "A guy just tried to kill me." your reaction is going to be very different than if he/she says "Last night I dreamed that a guy tried to kill me." It is for that reason that I argue that this movie was dead in the water (heh heh) from concept. There is smart writing, funny writing and scary writing in this movie but the fabric that holds it all together is a massive dud. You can try to flesh out realistic characters with unique backstories all day long but if the promised entertaining events that happen to them don't make sense... can't make sense... DON'T HAVE ANY MEANINGFUL STAKES WHATSOEVER... well, you get it. It's an unfortunate dud.
