The Curse of Professor Zardonicus

This movie has so much more going for it. Upon my first viewing it's a fun ride. Upon my second viewing however I found it has a message. A very important one. Depression and mental illness are a real thing. Sometimes medicine helps sometimes it doesn't and the isolation and sadness can be overwhelming, I've felt it I know. This movie tells a story of a isolated man who is obsessed with a single thing and it's consumed him and isolated him in ways no one could imagine. Then someone else comes along and at first doesn't believe a word he says but slowly becomes convinced he's telling the truth and not only that becomes one of his best friends. This movie is moving and emotional in spots that aren't expected. One of my top ten movies of all time hands down. Thanks to the creators for getting this out there. The acting on all parts is incredible and can show how a movie can be more than just a movie.

A great blend of dark comedy, mockumentary, and drama. The offbeat humor is perfectly interspersed with moments of tension, and the acting is excellent. Beneath the apparent absurdity of the plot is a running commentary about the nature of belief and alienation. This ultimately leaves viewers with the question of where the line is between reality and our understanding of it -- if there is one at all. The ending is a true Rorschach test. If I have one piece of advice for first-time viewers, it's to go into this movie with an open mind: It doesn't quite fit into any one genre; rather, it is in a category all its own.

I thought this was a very well done mockumentary. Both main characters were very good actors, and Darren was particular memorable as a character. Really enjoyed it and hope you continue to help improve this genre!

Wow! Going into films like this, you truly never know what to expect. Watching this not only gives a sense of hope and a sense of belonging for up and coming filmmakers, but also gives this sense of warmth somehow. All Nighter always gives good quality and care in what they make, and that shines through here more than ever. Care is the word that best sums up this film for me. Well done!

I honestly had little to no expectations when throwing this on. I had heard of the director in the local Houston scene, so when i came across the film, I was already somewhat familiar with the title. Once it began, I was taken back a bit by its style, which i actually enjoy. Once you get introduced to the characters, everything flows well from there.

It doesn't go without some flaws, however, for a $3,500 budget, the small crew, and (insert another reason). It earned a solid 7/10 for indie work.

I would recommend this as a watch for a fun Saturday-night adventure.
