Sci-fi Returns to Living Room...

OK, so…it’s the future…and I have some good news and some bad news for you. The good news is that we’ve cracked this whole “alternative energy” thing and it’s green to the bone. The bad news is this new energy business is even dirtier than the oil one was.

An organization know as Eden Log has built a nursery consisting of one massive plant and an elaborate subterranean structure which was designed to maintain its viability. One plant provides enough resources to feed the energy needs of an entire city. The minor drawback arrives in the fact that its root system releases a toxic by-product that turns people into possessed zombie-like-monsters; along the same lines as the creatures you spent the best years of your childhood battling in Doom.

This film doesn’t ASK its audience to participate in the plight of the antagonist, it DEMANDS it. Through its disorienting camera and light work and its narrative structure which slowly releases ambiguous information, we find ourselves just as lost as the man we’re following…and this is a guy who, at the beginning of the movie, wakes up naked in a puddle in the belly of a cave not knowing who or where he is.

Yet, we’re drawn to his goal…Climb! And may we all get to the top with as few encounters
