House of the Unholy (2023)
A clash and has no idea what it wants to be. Is this satire?
Despite it being a short this felt so incredibly long, mostly because nothing that happened was making any logical sense. There were so many parts where I felt like this was an idea sprung from that of a music video concept that they tried to pretend was a short film. I saw many things borrowed from The Weeknd, Gaga, and many other visual artists who have a more grounded sense of their own style. This, however, fell so incredibly flat. From the cheap-looking costumes, to the incoherent plot, I felt like this was just, as many have already pointed out, a bad acid trip. I can't imagine what awards this this has won, or why the writers are talking about a feature-length version of what feels like 3 pages worth of material. I would just skip this.
