Montauk Chronicles

The information is great, but the visuals were really satanic. I innerstand the subject, but the whole atmosphere gave it a really shocking/low vibration. So be careful.

I stumbled upon this movie, saw a decent rating and saw it, not because I'm a conspiracy-freak, but because it seemed quite interesting, as any thriller could be, but this was a documentary.

I was very skeptic when reading about the contents though, and I became more and more so the further I watched.

Without spoiling anything here, I felt this to be very biased. I have no doubt that despicable experiments has and are being made on humans BY humans, it's not hard to see what drug abuse/mental illness can result in, and that drugs and torture can completely destroy a person, for sure. A modern example is said to be the so called "MK-Ultra program" run by CIA in the 60-70's, said to have experimented with mind control, involving torture by sleep deprivation, drugs, electricity and occultism, and the US government has even made public apologies (Bill Clinton in the 90's) for things done to it's citizens in these fields, sadly leaving many scarred remnants of human beings left to fend for themselves.

But this is far from proof of aliens from other galaxies. A relevant example is how schizophrenia works (and sleep paralysis), when the brain basically cannot separate a dream-state from being awake, and thus producing images for a person that is basically like watching one movie at the same time and viewfield as another, blending sounds and visions so that the person cannot decide what is what. The Nazis in Germany started many of these kinds of horrible experiments during their rule, which then was continued in the US, Soviet Union and DDR. What has been shown though is basically that it is far more effective and reliable to use mass-psychosis, like Hitler did (successfully with HitlerJugend and SS)and like we see today when governments or media can whip up horrendous behavior in humans. It is simply not effective to break down a human being to a mental wreck with drugs and torture, expecting effective results as a field agent, for example. It is far more effective to use lures such as money, power and a feeling of being part of an important nationalistic/idealistic cause than to make people sick.

I'm not saying all these people interviewed are liars and making this up, just that very scary things can be produced by different means to make people 100% sure that things is physically real and has occurred.

A very unnerving and scary technique are those involving "repressed memories". Late scientific proof has been made showing that people, under certain circumstances, can be convinced that they have been experiencing and being guilty of deeds that is simply planted by psychiatric personnel, often with "help" by medication. It has therefore, as an example, quite recently been deemed not reliable at all as proof by the justice systems in many countries.

It is also documented that several US presidents (from the 80's and forwards) and high government officials, has employed so called "psychics" and "paranormal mediums" as important parts of their decision making during large conflicts, which is seriously worrying, if anything!

So this is sadly, in my opinion, food for conspiracy fanatics, and not at all to be considered objective material. But, knowing this, it could well enough be entertaining for some...

Destroyed by cheesy sound and visuals . Cheaply put together .

-Montauk Chronicles (2015) movie review: -Montauk Chronicles is a documentary following a series of 'alien' events at the town of Montauk. Basically it is a UFO documentary.

-It was 'aight. I don't care much for documentaries like this, but I was at least entertained.

-The story was true, but definitely told in a biased way.

-The pace was surprisingly good.

-The people that were in it were interesting, but not that interesting. They were real, but also very biased. You can tell they had already formulated their opinion, so when the film opened with an opening stating it would tell an unbiased story, and then only interviewed the people that believe it, it kinda lied.

-The music was not great and sounded really synthetic, but that also fit an alien film.

-Basically if you can be entertained by documentaries where you don't buy into anything anybody ways, but are somewhat interested by it, Montauk Chronicles would be worth checking out on Netflix or anywhere else you can see it without paying for it.

I was hoping for a lot more from this, but the directing style is just not good at all. It starts off like an actual documentary, but then goes into a cinematic narrative, but then also switches back to interviews done documentary-style, and then narrative, and then cinematic theatrical recreations and special effects and sometimes there is nothing going on but still images of weird creepy stuff with loud noises.

This style was just not pleasant to watch. The director needs to pick a theme and stick to it, it's almost like he made 3 different movies in one and the result is just not good. I enjoy bad horror movies, I enjoy crappy documentaries, and I enjoy really nouveau-art type horror where its mainly creepy images and strange music and very little else, but all 3 combined just did not work for me. I kept getting into the documentary part, and then it would switch and I'd be like, darn I was enjoying that. Then they would have a really artistic visual/musical scene, and I'd get into it, and then it would suddenly end and the boring narrative would return.

The movie itself is total garbage, there's little to back it up, and the 3 eyewitness interviewees seem to provide no evidence of any sort. I guess the main old guy they are interviewing is actually an author who wrote stories about this Montauk Project claiming truth, but at the time his books were heralded as fiction, and of course there is no one else coming forward saying any of it is true except for another old guy who seemed senile, and some young guy who claimed to be a psychic genius of some sort who survived all these crazy experiments involving aliens, time travel, psychic warfare, and conjuring monsters into existence with their brains (but if that's the case why isn't he solving the mysteries of the universe and instead just being a regular, depressed looking guy. No really though, I think the other 2 interviewees were probably just fans of the book series and probably senile themselves).

At one point, one of the old, senile men claims there were projects like this going on in every major city in the USA, and that probably a hundred thousand people died from this experiment. That's pretty far-fetched, since only 3 guys seem to remember it. And I'm still not clear what exactly they were experimenting on- seems like they said every sort of conspiracy was going on.

I mean, let's just pick one conspiracy and stick to it, guys, cmon now, we can't do ALL the conspiracies in one film/documentary/slideshow of creepy images with loud and uncomfortable noises intertwined with live interviews and abstract recreations intertwined, it would have been better to just pick one focal point of the film and one directing style.

The one thing that really, really, REALLY bothered me about this movie was the background music during the talking parts. I liked it, BUT, it was way too loud, which made me feel like it was a really low-quality budget movie that nobody actually checked the sound levels on. I mean, it was so bad that at times, during the interviews, I couldn't make out what these mush mouthed old men were saying because the background music would reach a crescendo and drown them out!

Gave a 2 rather than a 1 because it did have a little bit of onteresting parts in it, and it did have some good visuals and was a little creepy.
