This is a black and white nightmare via a retro game. It is a tactile film that has a physical feel, especially if you ever played text computer games. It's a film that I can tell you what it's about, but I can't tell you what it really is.
This is nominally the story of a man who plays a video game and gets inside it and has to kill a demon lord in order to escape. What it actually is something else entirely. Its a character study via horror via a kind of misdirection via an exterimental approach. It's a film you have to experience rather than read about because the film is a trip and it chages over time.
I liked this film. Granted it took me a bit to click with it, but once I did I was willig to go anywhere it was going. This is ot like anything you've seen before, even other off kilter inde scifi films that are just plain weird. Yes this is that occasioally, but more often then not its something else.
If you want something that is very off Hollywood. OBEX is for you.
