    A worthy homage to Hitchcock!

    I've been following Ben's passion project for years, and backed it on Kickstarter, knowing many such undertakings don't make it to the finish line. I love that "The Recursion Theorem" was ultimately unleashed upon the world, a modern tribute to classics like The Outer Limits and a peer to hits like Stranger Things. If you love these standouts, you'll love this movie!

    Don't adjust your television set.

    The Recursion Theorem plunges you in what could have been one of the best episode of The Twilight Zone. The Director's choice of black and white, timeless furniture and clothing built an ambience sending us all the way back to the 50s and Rod Serling. The acting is perfect. Method acting at its best. That, and a compelling mystery helps immersing you in this short movie.

    However, be very careful to wake up in the end.
