    What Would Happen if you Encountered an Actual Demon

    One of the strangest films I've ever had the chance to see is the 1975 Japanese experimental short Atman. The entire 11 minute long film depicts a demonic figure sitting in an outdoor environment wearing a robe and a Hannya mask. Believe me when I say that as short as the film is, you feel the figure's presence in every frame.

    The film was executed through receding and shifting images utilized in a frame-by frame manner. With the addition of strange color palettes and hypnotic music, the best way to describe this transformative method of jumbled cinematography is something straight out of a fever dream. Much of this is contributed to avant-garde composer Toshi Ichiyanagi, whose score transcends the numerous different view points of the demon with melodies that will haunt your dreams for a while.

    As scary as this film is, I would recommend it to anyone interested in the intrinsic experience. It's not going to everyone's cup of tea hence the short runtime and odd concept, but if you're looking for the closest thing you can think of experiencing a real life demon, this is the best bet you'll have. Enter at your own risk but keep in mind that it's up there for all to see.
