Possibly in Michigan

Possibly in Michigan by Cecelia Condit is the literal definition of camp. This 13-minute short film from 1983, that went viral all over YouTube and TikTok a few years ago is about the story of two women named Sharon and Janice who are being followed around in a mall by a cannibal called Arthur (aka Prince Charming in the film's credits). That might sound intriguing enough, but it's also somehow a musical with a plot twist near the end. Anyways, this film needs to be seen with an open mind and Cecelia Condit's other films: Beneath the Skin (1981) and Not a Jealous Bone (1987) because they're not your run-of-the-mill mainstream films.

It's a short film, but it weirdly feels like some sort of musical is going on through out, the eery strange music plays, I'm sorry if I'm wrong, I haven't watched it in ages so I don't know the names of the characters, this weird man follows them throughout the mall, their house, everywhere, while I watched it I felt as if I was being watched myself, strange experience but realistic for 1983. Surreal and strange, the quality fine for the times. I feel like I could rewatch it but still feel strange every time. The repetitive music, the eerie atmosphere. Everything about it gave me scary and weird energy.

The grainy and dullish camera visuals and audio add a disturbing touch to the film, it may be because of the low budget it had but it served the movie very well regardless. The script feels as if it were written in loops and poems, especially during Animal Cannibal (Which is the clip where I found the movie). The costume design is very inline with stage theatre, adding a knowledge of it being not real but even more eery. Sadly I didn't have the biggest connection with the film, leaving me disconnected. This may be a plus for someone else but I personally need a connection just leaving the film as, good.

Women. Two. Stalker! Masks! Editing. Great! Stairs: up, down. Interesting. Feminists! Sexism! Ghosts, science fiction. Experiment and Avant Garde. Hooray!!

A wonderful, Strange, and surreal film that draws you into its creepy and confusing story, and leave you satisfied with a fitting ending. Yet still you walk away knowing just about as much about the story as before you even started.
