demonlover (2003)
Um, what? Certainly looks like a million bucks and there's obviously something that's trying to be said here, but the narrative splinters into a million little pieces after about an hour, thus inhibiting any sort of clarity of purpose. The movie's at its best when it's trying to be a Videodrome for the Internet age, but at least that film made clear what it was attempting; here, you're left to wander through a fog of images and incidents in the hopes that they connect in some meaningful manner. I respect its ambition and I'll probably watch it again on DVD but right now I think it kinda sucks.
Grade: C
