Site

The SF viewpoint of supernatural in "Site" is original in multiple aspects, and the writer/director deserve his merits. I don't think it is excessively long. Characters behave in more realistic ways than other genre movies: they lie and deceive believing it, do not try to escalate situations in a schematic way. It is a message about how dictatorial regimes commit war crimes and a subtile hint of past and present entanglement (and not only the quantum type).

However, there are some things in the development. The constant music (more like a drone) imposed on scenes that doesn't need it; the use of hand camera makes some shots hard to view; odd options for framing; other shots that appears to be part of a discarded longest scene. Looks that the editing was done in a hurry. This is a film I would love to see as the Director's Cut in the future. As is, is an interesting B-movie with some food for thought.

Without knowing what I was in for here, I opted to watch the 2025 movie "Site" solely because I had the opportunity to do so. I virtually didn't know what I was in for, and thus harbored no expectations whatsoever to the movie. So in a sense, I suppose, then writer and director Jason Eric Perlman had every opportunity to entertain and impress me.

The storyline in the movie, as written by Jason Eric Perlman, was a bit sluggishly paced. It took forever to go anywhere in the narrative, and I have to admit that my interest in the movie was waning with each minute that writer and director Jason Eric Perlman spent setting the scene.

Of the entire cast ensemble in the movie, I was only familiar with actors Jake McLaughlin, Theo Rossi and Yoson An. The acting performances in "Site" were good.

Visually then the movie was quite alright. The effects were good and looked nice.

Watchable, sure, but hardly an outstanding or noteworthy movie. Nor is it a movie that I will ever return to watch a second time.

My rating of writer and director Jason Eric Perlman's 2025 movie "Site" lands on a generous four out of ten stars.

Cool high minded sci-fi, very inline with some of the style of Benson and Moorhead (The Endless, Synchronic) or Jeff Nichols (Take Shelter). Type of film you need to watch more than once to fully unpack. Definitely a unique storyline that seems to be after a more metaphorical statement than literal lore.

Amazing film! Mind expanding and thought provoking. Site is a brilliant exploration of human consciousness, karma, soul entanglement and the power of connection to free people from their human bondage. Visually mesmerizing and courageously creative, this is a film I will watch over and over again, knowing there is something new to discover that I missed the time before.

I applaud the filmmakers for exposing the atrocities of Unit 731 during WWII, a historical event that somehow slipped under the radar in Western history books. Hopefully this will serve as a stark reminder...never again...during our renewed era of warfare. Great acting, incredible special effects, and a mind-bending, time-collapsing trip to try to right the sins of the fathers.

Before you start, it is a long movie, and it takes it's time to tell the story.

The more you go in, the weirder and more let's call it fun it gets, but you need to invest your time into the movie. Also, keep focussing on the movie, or you will lose the story, and it all fall apart.

It is weird, but just enjoy it.

It is also different.
