When will I learn? Seriously, at my age and knowing myself as well as I do, you'd think I wouldn't watch movies alone that have a chance of creeping me out. And yet, I still do. So I got this movie from Netflix called Pornography: A Thriller, written and directed by David Kittredge, and watched it last night. It's about a gay porn star who years after having gone missing, a writer tries to find out what happened to him, followed by another porn star/script writer doing the same.
The movie has a paranormal vibe going on, which I'm good with since I like ghost stories and such. And sure, I get jumpy watching horror movies, but most of the time, it's the good, fun kind of scared where you laugh about it. But, in movies and books where it's a human(s) doing things to other people, that's when I get really creeped out. Maybe because it makes it seem all the more possible it could happen in real life, and therefore, all the more disturbing.
This movie was a blend of those two worlds, paranormal and psychological thriller, and both combine to create a very dark story. I mean, really seriously dark and disturbing. At least I thought it was, but I can be a bit on the sensitive side. It's the writer in me ;-) The movie is broken up into three parts, and the first two thirds of the movie were super intense. When the story shifts in the last third, I thought it didn't feel as strong, but it was still on the edge-of-your-seat watching. I also wanted to see more resolution on a few things at the end, but that didn't really take away from the story.
If you're looking to watch something that's a little different than the rest, has good acting, a healthy dose of sex, and that might give you the creepies, if not all out disturb you, this could be the movie for you.
