Beyond The Black Rainbow (2010)

[Archivist]

I just came across this movie, soon to be released by Magnet, but apparently made in 2010.

The trailer looks particularly cool!



The wiki article says that Pan Cosmatos used to look at the horror videos in the video store, but since he was not allowed to watch them as a child, would instead imagine what they would be like.  I did something very similar, writing my own versions of movies based on the blurbs I saw on the backs of the boxes.

Has anyone seen this?  Is it any good?

My friend Alex reviewed it for my site and liked it (at least the visuals): http://366weirdmovies.com/list-candidate-beyond-the-black-rainbow-2010/. It's already out on DVD. I have a screener copy sitting in a pile.

I like Cosmatos's concept "to create a film that is a sort of imagining of an old film that doesn’t exist." Due to his exsperiences going to 'video addict' (I asume is a movie store) and looking at tittle and the covers... Don't judge a book by it's cover? But when Cosmatos did it for VHS covers He came up with some interesting ideas it seems. :)

The trailer makes the film seem like it has an interesting blend off styles. I will have to check it out just to see it. Even if I do not like it. It still seems like it is worth a look.
