I Dream of a Psychopomp

I had the privilege to see this movie during one of its premiers. I had no idea what to expect going in. I came out thoroughly fascinated the style of this moving. Spellbound High was my favorite. I was able to stay with the idea of the movie until the third story. It was obvious it was written by someone else. It was good, but didn't seem to fit with the rest. Overall, it's a film worth seeing and I wish Danny Villanueva Jr. And group the best on future projects.

A slow, meandering trio of art-house style horror dramas, none of which are interesting, all of them lacking horror and drama.

Thematically weak, visually overstylized and a bit boring. It goes for a more 'serious' tone than most anthologies, so if your looking for creative stories or risky cinema, look elsewhere. It's too try-hard in its attempts to be 'emotional' and 'dramatic', so ends up being bland with no engaging characters to care about. Anthologies are meant to be a bag of fun, but this is just a bag. I'll give each story one star because I feel sorry for the actors.

Notice, the 9 and 10 star reviewers have only ever rated one film. Yeah. Speaking of dreams...

I really enjoyed attending the world showing of this film. I enjoyed greatly seeing it's debut. I was confused a bit by the storyline and how everything fit together. I was hoping for a bit of a more fleshed out story and more explanation for each charecters story. I do appreciate the artistic nature of the film and the actors were amazing and all gave wonderful performances! If you enjoy dark, somber stories you will enjoy.

I learned of heaven, hell and purgatory as a child at St. Ann School in Ossining, NY in the 1960s. The theme of an afterlife has been done before. The problem here is the disconnected nature of the segments. A man has lost his wife in a car accident and is visited by a spirit guide. A follow up story involving a child molester made no sense. The final segment is the best one with a little girl seeking immortality. The young actress is the best part of the film. If that portion had been expanded to full length, this could have been a good movie.

You have to go into this movie knowing how anthologies work, when you do everything comes together quite wonderfully, even more with multiple viewings. Spellbound high was by far my favorite segment. You could tell the characters really connected with each other, their chemistry was a beautiful thing.
