Save Me from Everything

Twisted, dark and confusing is part of the lore here and Don't Talk to Strangers takes you on a trip to the obscure reaches of the mind and casts a shadow of insanity across the entire film. Even though, with all that dark insanity it just misses something. The steady incline of this slow burn doesn't have the power needed to propel itself into greatness or any semblance of it...... In order to really capitalize on the charm of a slow type of movie, there needs to be proper character development and a storyline fitting of the main players. While that wasn't entirely there, I can't say it was horrible. The voids were in the progression and how the nuances of each character intertwined with the atmosphere and theme. Nothing sets this film above the mainline and it sort of moves along with just enough...... Don't Talk to Strangers is one of those films that teeters on the gothic edge but doesn't quite cross over. Thematics and appeal is there along with acting. I did enjoy the twists and while it's by no means a gem nor a gore fest it does leave its mark on you.
