The Blazing World

Amazon Prime graces me with the screening of many a turd of horror movies so let's see how this one is.

Oh wow what a nice house. Starts off with twins. Oh no not a cut finger, didn't see that coming. Oh no stupid twin drowns in pool! Smart twin sees......beckoning portal guy! Okay then skip ahead...about 6 to 8 years, smart twin is in college.

Daddy is a drunk and apparently dad abuses mommy. Girl returns home from school to visit because parents are selling their house. Girl goes and parties with friends and then they have a tarot card reading. And then what happens???? Hmmm.

Then really what happens next is not a lot. Really disappointing plot and dialogue and not much to either. 3/10.

I like The Blazing World - a dark fantasy journey with some fine moments and some well crafted and composed visuals. The story for sure got some weak spots too, but anyway, this one I recommend to all those souls who like their dish sometimes served with unusual spices.

The story is weird, and doesn't make much sense. The first half is too long, and the second half is too short. However, the ending doesn't make sense, and is very confusing. Overall, the film is slow, fragmented and confusing.

Badly acted, awkward, obnoxious, terrible CGI, rips off Paths Labyrinth but gets nowhere close to it. Some stuff is great like the lighting on the scenes and some of the shots look really great, however its not worth watching because of this. I would say it was a great idea bad execution but i cant even say that if Young just rips off Guillermo del Toro.

THE BLAZING WORLD is the journey of one woman to reclaim her past and face her devastating depression from a childhood trauma, all presented as a dark fairy tale. Think Nicolas Winding Refn directing a script from David Lynch inspired by Lewis Carroll. First time filmmaker Carlson Young uses dazzling, darkly neon, and twisted visuals to tell this story, and her striking vision puts her great talent on full display. Dermot Mulroney impresses and Udo Kier is damn creepy. Crushing and gorgeous to watch with an utterly haunting score, the film is a mesmerizing, emotional experience you won't soon forget. Bravo Carlson Young!
