A Bill Oberst Jr performance for the ages. A somnolent man drifting between fantasy and reality and the boundaries between them breaking down makes for gripping and compelling watching. The practical effects are superb; realistic and artistic, gory and violent, and more effective than films with larger budgets. The low-key production values are a great help to this film; everything feels gritty, realistic, and immediate. As usual, Bill Oberst Jr throws his all into his performances, and his character's slow descent into pure madness is a series of violent imagery mixed with unhinged acting of a caliber that a lesser actor could not pull off. This is a psychologically dark series of wandering through the mind of madness. A truly great effort.
