Reminded this week about a trailer I found intriguing and 'uncertain' about which documentary thread to post. Have it saved on Netflix so it may be available soon, sometime, or never.Iamwhomiam wrote:

Watched last night and was pleasantly surprised by how comparably** authentic this felt, based on my limited but passable knowledge of occultism.DrEvil » Sat Apr 29, 2017 9:31 pm wrote:Just a quick heads up: This movie is now available in the usual places (wink wink).

‘A Dark Song’ Makes Occult Magic Scary (and Human) Again [Fantastic Fest Review]
If your average horror movie is an indication, the occult is a piece of cake. Grab a dusty old tome from your local library, pick up a Ouija board, light a candle or two and voila! You’re ready to open a portal, summon a demon, or cleanse a house of a vengeful spirit. Genre movies have a habit of making magic look easy and convenient. Either anyone can do it, or an exposition-spouting expert is just a quick phone call away.
A Dark Song isn’t that kind of movie. Writer/director Liam Gavin has made a movie where black magic isn’t just dangerous and a good way endanger your soul – it’s also really, really difficult and it takes a long time. Here is a movie about a single dark ritual that takes place over the course of six months.
Set almost entirely in an isolated Welsh country home, A Dark Song follows Sophia (Catherine Walker) as she hires a bitter and anti-social occultist named Joseph (Steve Oram) to assist her in a dangerous black magic ritual that, if successful, will grant them their heart’s desire. Joseph lays every card on the table: once the house is in encircled in salt and the ritual has begun, they cannot leave under any circumstance. They will endure physical and mental suffering. They will fast and pray and draw meticulous symbols in chalk. They will slowly find themselves out of step with reality as various other planes of existence bleed into theirs, bringing all kinds of unwelcome guests. And most importantly, Sophia and Joseph will have to learn to live with each other — a task easier said than done for a woman with more than a few dark secrets and a man who simply doesn’t enjoy the company of other humans.
Apparently the director carefully changed aspects of the central ritual because he wanted to protect potential imitators? I'm amused in a way by certain parallels to the ending of True Detective S1 and how much more convincing this resolution is. Plus its always an easy point to score when a film represents magick or the occult but abstains from any kind of "derp, see what happens when you mess with dark forces" caution.Joseph Solomon: You've been looking shit up on the Internet. No, this is Gnosticism.
Sophia Howard: I was told it was based on the Kabbalah.
Joseph Solomon: It's there as grammar. A structure. The Kabbalah is an exploration of god. We're doing something much darker...
“Aronfsky referred to the final 25-minute opus—a disturbing escalation of violent images—as “one of my best accomplishments, just because it’s a nightmare. It just builds and builds on top of documenting the horrors of our world, and throws a pregnant woman into it.”

Braindead was fun, but I thought it fell off a bit towards the end. I would have liked a little more on the scifi bit and a little less on the political satire. The scifi kind of just disappeared halfway through. Unfortunately the show got cancelled. The plan was for several seasons in different settings, the next one being Hollywood.lucky » Mon Sep 25, 2017 12:11 pm wrote:Anyone watch any of the Amazon produced series e.g. Preacher, the path, long strange trip (a must for Dead heads), Sneaky pete, American Gods, The Man in the High Castle, Falling water. Not all as good as each other but some gems and I enjoyed all the above - binge watching most.
Oh and Braindead is a scream
