Mister Organ

The more I went down the rabbit hole the more interesting it got. Extremely well put together documentary about a wheel clamper but as the intro says, there's much more to this story than meets the eye. The story is intriguing and plays out much like a good whodunnit. I hear there's another documentary out by this same producer so I am going to have to source it after watching this one. Thoroughly enjoyed this from start to finish. Full of twists and turns and wtf's? Almost a comedy but for the dark side of the whole story. Keeps the viewer wanting more. Highly recommend this to any armchair sleuths out there and even if you're not I think you will still enjoy it.

The feeling of watching this in a relatively small but jam-packed kiwi cinema was absolutely fantastic.

Everyone laughing and gasping along at this funny, horrifying, distressing and impactful film.

If you can see it in a full theatre, absolutely do so.

There were parts of the movie where my partner and I gripped each other in horror. My stomach sunk at parts and a few minutes later I was cackling merrily.

David Farrier clearly put a lot of himself on the line for this movie and put himself in the sights of a very scary individual and the results are something he can be proud of.

This is a brilliant piece of cinema and a stunning showcase of journalism.

When we watch a film or a documentary we have an expectation that the end brings us to a logical conclusion ; a natural close ; not so with this documentary so don't expect one because like a virus , the main antagonist of this documentary lives on to do what he does ; slowly destroying the lives of all those he involves himself with. Farrier looks into the strange world of an ego centric madman lost in his own reality; there's no happy ending , no conclusion and like a shark the main antogonist just carries on doing what a shark does. If you've never seen intot he mind of a human being that manipulates, destroy lives and brings chaos to all around them then this is an insight into an uncomfortable man who brings misery to all whose lives he invades.

"Mister Organ" isn't just a documentary, it's a slow-motion train wreck you can't tear your eyes from. Director David Farrier sets out to investigate claims of an online troll named Michael Organ, a self-proclaimed "reputation assassin" with a penchant for manipulation and mayhem. What he stumbles into is a rabbit hole of lies, gaslighting, and psychological mind games that will leave you equal parts aghast and fascinated.

Farrier's on-screen journey is the film's driving force. His initial naivety, slowly morphing into disbelief and anger, mirrors the audience's own emotional arc. We laugh at Organ's absurdity, wince at his cruelty, and ultimately find ourselves questioning: would we have fallen for his act too?

"Mister Organ" is a masterclass in suspense, building upon each revelation like a Hitchcock thriller. The film masterfully blends humor and horror, leaving you in a constant state of nervous anticipation. You know you shouldn't be enjoying Organ's antics, but there's a morbid curiosity that keeps you glued to the screen.

Beyond the sheer entertainment value, "Mister Organ" offers a chilling peek into the dark corners of the internet and the depths of human manipulation. It's a cautionary tale about the dangers of online anonymity and the ease with which our own perceptions can be distorted.

But the film's true strength lies in its portrait of resilience. The victims of Organ's abuse, who share their stories with raw honesty and courage, remind us of the human spirit's ability to overcome. Their voices serve as a powerful counterpoint to Organ's narcissistic ramblings, ultimately reaffirming the importance of truth and justice.

"Mister Organ" is not for the faint of heart. It's a wild ride that will leave you feeling drained, disturbed, and oddly exhilarated. But if you're seeking a gripping, thought-provoking documentary that dares to push boundaries and explore the darkest corners of human nature, then look no further. Just buckle up, because you're in for one hell of a ride.

Now here's a curious proposition, as the hunter becomes hunted and put in awkward position, in pursuit of an oddball, he's then setup to take a fall, although it's not the most engaging documentary supposition. Perhaps the maker has ambition to become Kiwi Theroux, perhaps there's little going on in far off land that live so few, but the editing is stilted, the story rather wilted, I guess if you were in his place it might make good debut. Sadly nothing is presented that engages or connects, there are crazy folk in all corners that work with great effect, they control, manipulate - navigate as they predate, leaving damage, decay, destruction and misery in their wake.
