Prometheus Triumphant (2006) User Reviews

Well underrated.

[vis666 · 10/10 · 28 June 2009]

This film is by far one of the most underrated films I have seen in a while. The story (a man banished from his home town loses his wife to the Black Plague) could have been taken straight out of a Bram Stoker novel and has a very 20's German/Gothic feel to the whole. Adding to that experience is a romantic and yet very menacing string/piano/organ music which is consistent throughout the movie. (There is no spoken dialog in its entirety.) I haven't found a soundtrack on any retail sites yet and that's a real shame seeing it's absolutely beautiful. As far as setting, mis-en-scene and all that concerns (I'm not a professional) to me looked all fantastic and a low budget very well spent. Overall, a DVD every cinephile should consider buying.

8/10 for the movie, 9,5/10 for the music. 9/10 averaged. Kickass work guys!

Don't miss this movie!

I saw this movie during a week run in LA's Laemmle Grande 4-plex. It was amazing! They did a great job of making this movie, shot on video, look like an old Nosferatu-era film! And to make a period piece on a super low budget is a true challenge, but they pulled it off. The buildings they used for the sets definitely fit the era. They all looked very industrial and and dwarfed the actors, which really added to the production value of the film. It's hard to believe that it was shot in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and not in the Czech Republic! The cinematography was visually stunning and the score really put you in the correct time frame. I can't wait to pick up the DVD and watch it again.
