Psychomanteum

A disturbing series of dystopian vignettes. Dark, chilling and thought provoking with some light relief in an ironic parody of gender switching.

I suppose the good thing about having a compilation of several mini films is that you have a lot of cast, crew and family/friends to leave fake ten star reviews! Looks like it was made by 16 year old art students and not particularly talented ones either.

Psychomanteum (perhaps not the most memorable or easily searchable name) stands out and above all recent lacklustre anthology films since it avoids cliches to deliver original and seriously messed up stories that are weird and memorable. The interlinking narrative piece reminded me of "This Unnameable Little Broom" by the Brothers Quay, no it's not animated, but it does have the same mad, frenzied energy that left me with a haunting takeaway. OK a couple of the short films are weaker because they end before they really get going but there are more than enough multiple award winning stand out films to justify the price of viewing, which at under a dollar is a steal and free if your an Amazon Prime member.

Trite, obvious, and overblown, with episodes that often seen unfinished drafts accompanied by irrelevant insect closeups. High ratings either a joke or scam. Might frighten a 5-year old.

Terrible! Do not waste your time like I did!!!!! I feel cheated by all the ten star reviews. I won't be trusting IMDB reviews again!
