    The Spiritual Quest Of The Afterlife.

    The premise for this film is simple: A woman is kidnapped by a serial killer and left in a deadly obstacle course...which she must navigate her way through before time runs out.

    If she fails...she dies.

    The whole thing is barely large enough to crawl through and is filled with puzzles and booby traps.

    On her wrist is a light with a timer on it.

    It gives her 11 minutes to complete each section.

    As you might expect...most of the film is just the actress crawling around what looks like a system of vents.

    She's not the only one crawling around in there, however.

    As, at times, she is pit against other survivors...whom she must fight in order to survive.

    Apparently, the whole system is designed to be failed.

    Because you need to fail at least once- after which you are sent back to the beginning, to start again- before you can progress to the end.

    It's all very reminiscent of Vincenzo Natali's Cube series.

    But this one is clearly meant to be read as a challenge where you face your inner demons- even the devil himself- and win.

    Only this isn't a game...it's the spiritual quest of the afterlife.

    To free oneself from the cycle of rebirth into the realm of suffering.

    To achieve absolute liberation.

    Nirvana.

    Thus...in the end...it's safe to say she died on the road that day.

    But she is still forever, eternal.

    A nice little film, with lots of tension inducing moments.

    It's no Enter The Void...but it's running off very similar themes.

    6.5 out of 10.

    Not 'Cube', 'Escape Room'

    This film reminds me far more of the current 'Escape Room' type films, than 'Cube', other than it is a single person, and not a group.

    Since there is little dialog, it may be the type of film to watch on a second monitor of your computer system while you work on something else.

    Curious, since the song and dialog at the beginning are in English in the version I saw (DVD title Meander, Gravitas Ventures release) but the ending dialog was in French with English subtitles.

    started out promising, kinda fell apart as it went on

    Ok, so when the movie started out i thought it was going to be pretty good, i always liked mystery movies where someone wakes up in an unknown location and has to solve mysteries and puzzles to get out. To the films credit it had a lot of good set work and cinematography, but the main issue with it is how it gradually falls apart the longer it goes on. Its pretty clear that the writers were just making up stuff as they went along, apparent by how everything that happens in it gets progressively weirder and weirder, to the point where it gets completely nonsensical and all-over-the-place by the end. Theres also a couple conveniences in the script, theres several moments in the film where the main character should very well die but just... doesnt, because the plot needs her alive. Also this movie seems to have a similar problem with the movie "circle" and "cadaver" where it doesnt really have any progression or narrative, it just keeps going on and on without accomplishing anything narritive-wise until it hits its runtime. The majority of this movie is just watching a girl crawl through tubes and avoid traps, we didnt really learn much about what was happening until the very end, and until then it just never progresses anything.

    Now despite everything ive said about this movie i would still recommend it if youre into the kind of genre, because even though the plot kinda sucks, everything else is pertty good, there were some pretty good puzzles and clever moments in the game itself, just dont expect a very well written plot.

    Crawl

    Crawl and crawl and crawl

    A new French sci-fi mystery where a woman is caught in a series of tunnel with multiple traps.

    The movie started out slow, and this really requires some patience before things started to pick up. Honestly, the traps were not too scary like in similar movies. Then, when the twist started, it wasn't too surprising because this was done countless times before. The development of the main character was again, pretty typical, and was supposed to tie to the story. However, it really didn't make a lot of sense and felt cheesy.

    There were still things that worked in the movie. Even though the progression was slow, there were still intense scenes that kept me on the edge. The clean camera work and some gores elevated the horror aspect and helped with the scenes.

    Overall, it's a mystery that is done better before. 5.5/10.

    meandering

    Lisa (Gaia Weiss) is alone in the middle of nowhere. A vehicle stops. She reluctantly gets a ride from the creepy stranger. She gets knocked out and wakes up in a futuristic tunnel maze.

    This really does meander. The basic premise is very Cube-esque with less people. Quite frankly, she's alone most of the time. The maze does not engender any mystery like the room numbers in Cube. It becomes a series of limited thrills as she crawl around and around. There are a few interesting ideas but the main story has no juice. It's really just watching this lady crawl around in the tunnels for an hour. Fast forward is very useful in this one.

    • Trivia
      All the walls of the start room have morse code on them. The text by the entrance may be saying Vite, which is the French word for quickly. The 11 minute wrist timer seems to confirm this.
    • Goofs
      At 44 minutes in, she is in the tunnel with the severed arm. The fan blades advance and cut off the fingers of the hand as she backs down the tunnel. Suddenly she is pulling the severed hand down the tunnel with her, fingers intact. She then takes it up the ladder, only for it to disappear again when she emerges.
    • Crazy credits
      At the very end of the credits a very rapid heart beat can be heard.
