Mindwarp (1992)

This movie was a mindwarp indeed! And for a movie from 1992, it manages the special effects with surprising dignity, sounds and sights alike. The masks are clearly plastic, but the people behind them do a good job at not seeming entirely human, and the props are part of what makes a movie like this so personal anyway. They're all unique, they're all works of art! The sound effects are creative, and it's refreshing hearing something other than the modern-day machinima-dubstep we seem to expect machines to emit (think Transformers). Here it's more like dolphins... and powertools. Nice!

The acting's great. Everything's great. The violence is perceptible, and it's got Bruce Campbell too! What more could you ask for? Maybe... answers. What's real, what's false? What ends, what begins? What really happened? What hopes and dreams does the main character really inherit? Does she dream her life? Is her life a dream? Are her dreams her life? Is her dream to live? Is her life to dream? Is it but her dream to live a dream, or her life to dream a life? What does it all mean? Where does it all lead? What does she really want? What do we truly learn? What was the message? Was there a point? What am I thinking? How do I rate this?
