Bullet Proof (2022)
Pulse Pounding Thrill Ride. Breezy 80 minutes.
Walked in knowing nothing about this film, was highly impressed with the action, performances, stunts, cars, armoury. This was entertaining as heck. My appreciation for Vinnie Jones has spiked and The rest of the cast is awesome too. Not gritty and depressing either! Incredibly light hearted for some of the subject matter.
If ya can, go see it in theatres! Great big screen experience.
Candiland (2016)
Dark, Disturbing, weirdly funny sometimes. Positive message.
Candiland.
Peter and Tess, two lovers with tragic pasts barricade themselves in their apartment, dubbing it a new surreal reality called "Candiland'. The only figure in their lives fighting to bring them out of their worsening mental and physical states is Arnie, Peter's father/
This movie is visceral, in that you'll be engrossed, disturbed, maybe a little shaken. There are shocking, unpleasant moments, that deal with dark themes and behaviours. James Clayton's sacrifice and performance is worth watching by itself. And Gary Busey is a powerhouse, especially in the scenes where he attempts to visit Candiland.
Not a horror but very psychologically unnerving. I haven't been able to stop thinking about this film since I saw it. A vivid, nightmarish independent film with a strong message about the stigma of mental illness.
