Eden Log (2007)
2/10
Dark, dreary, slow, boring

Warning: Spoilers
I just had to write a review of this after reading so many positive ones. The score this film gets is actually flattering. The positive reviews are hilarious!

Spoilers ahead (as far as there is any plot to be spoiled)

A guy wakes up in a cave, covered in mud, not remembering who he is. This scene takes long, has flashing lights and is very dark. He climbs to the ground from level -4 and the plot unfolds as he ascends.

Some of the scenery looks nice but everything is too vague and disorientating. A lot looks like cheap building material (pipes, ropes, low tech stuff not befitting to the 'lab' he is supposedly in).

The guy goes unconscious for four or five times, I lost count. He keeps walking towards lights but never arrives at them. You keep hoping the next scene will be a bit lighter but it never is. I could not really tell whether it was black and white or color because at this darkness there is no real difference.

There are some interesting things in the plot... but the problem is there hardly is any plot at all. Let alone dialog, the guy hardly ever speaks.

Even if you like long, dark, boring movies that have no plot or dialog about guys fumbling around in caves forever, you still should not watch this movie. And everyone giving a move that they had to fast-forward through a score over 3 is crazy!
