A meta-cinema, dark erotica underground experimental indi horror. Inspired by various cinema methods such as German expressionism, but creating its own style, DARIUSS is an extremely unique bold expedition feature debut from filmmaker Guerrilla Metropolitana. Lower budget but once again demonstrating the LOT you achieve using little, with a clear artistic vision. It's unlike most any other horrors seen before and certainly not following tropes or formats of mainstream slasher. It's a journey and cinemagraphic experience, bringing an audience in as less watcher and more a witness. It's a portrait of pain, loss, voyerism, and madness. The performances were just what was needed for tone, but tone was the overall gemstone here. Combining layered visuals with an eternally unsettling soundtrack, keeps a viewer in a constant state of engagement and discomfort. No doubt this will be a polarising viewing to different extremes. Very likely not a journey for lovers of the mainstream subgenres, unless they do also house desires for the darker, deeper, madder, artistic rides. It's new, it's intense and it's out there. There is imagery that will not simply leave you after your viewing. And has an intense sometimes beautiful soundtrack to boot. If these elements appeal to you, give a watch!
