Screenwriter and director Michael Zaiko Hall is interested in aesthetics, coolness, beauty, and conveying strong emotions rather than shooting intelligible content. By the time terror kicked in, halfway in, I forgot I was watching a horror movie. Needless to say, the gore hit like a ton of bricks. The once soothing and contemplative experience got compromised, taking me out of my comfort zone.
The women in the lead are gorgeous, which should be mentioned considering it sums up the whole film. Carrion has tremendous depth and what I perceive as layers, though I must admit I didn't understand half the story. I hope it makes sense to the creator so I can investigate further, assuming that answers can be found. It's effective surrealism, nonetheless, and it makes us feel alive.
Carrion has the kind of editing that takes getting used to and adds complexities to the narrative. The editing may not rub everyone the right way, but it certainly wasn't neglected. Every aspect of this movie feels experimental, but the quality makes it all worthwhile. The danger, with Carrion, is to have trust in its polish and be led to believe it is a better film than it is.
