Eden Log Eden Log

A man wakes up deep inside a cave. Suffering amnesia, he has no recollection of how he came to be here or of what happened to the man whose body he finds beside him. Tailed by a mysterious creature, he must continue through this strange and fantastic world. Enclosed, Tolbiac has no other option to reach the surface than to use REZO ZERO, secret observing cells in this cemetery-like abandoned mine.

    Review by Michael ★★★½

    Ich war zwar auf einen Horrorfilm eingestellt, wurde aber vom Science-Fiction Film “Eden Log” positiv überrascht. Der Film bricht mit einigen Konventionen des Genres und fesselt mit seinem düsteren, fast verstörenden Setting.

    Regisseur Franck Vestiel gelingt mit seinem Regiedebüt der Beweis, dass Frankreich abseits von Komödien Filme drehen kann, die den internationalen Geschmack treffen. Vestiel inszeniert den Film so, dass es kaum möglich ist die Entwicklung der Geschichte vorauszuahnen. Viele Ereignisse erschließen sich erst nach und nach und fügen sich erst zum Ende hin zu einem Gesamtbild.

    Auch bei den Effekten überzeugt der Film. Große offensichtliche Spezialeffekte sucht man in “Eden Log” zwar vergebens, doch sind die Effekte mehr im Detail versteckt. Wenn Tolbiac in einigen Räumen Videoaufzeichnungen findet und…

    A complete waste of time.

    The movie had a great overall feel and emotion to it - dark, gritty, and constantly inviting you to puzzle out what's going on. However, it devolves into an incomprehensible mess as the movie progresses, until by the point the protagonist discovers what's really going on, you're left in the dark.

    The film opens with six and half minutes of grunting and irritating flashing lights that, whilst oblique, at least allow you to hope that the film will get better.

    It doesn't.

    Scifi shouldn't be pretentious.

    Weird, borderline nonsensical but I dug the effort and the talent that is obviously there no matter how unchecked the ambition is.

    I got a little bit of a Portal and Dead Space vibe of it. It has done a good job of painting a strange atmosphere.

    The cinematography and set were amazing. The dark gritty caves that the main character is in are creative and completely realistic looking even with the low budget they had.

    I was very confused throughout the film and the last five minutes or so were unexplainable! It's going to take many more viewings to understand fully, but I'm looking forward to it.
