A man's search for a stolen artifact leads him to the haunted town filled with Voodoo gangsters, masked adventurers, Depression-era private eyes and violent chiaroscuro women.
- jackmeat7. srpna 2025My quick rating - 6.7/10. This one has a potential "Cult" status written all over it. Anytime I see Alan Moore for a writing credit, I know I am in for one heck of a ride. His creativity alone is always enough to keep you entertained, but when he has a story to go along with it, well, you end up with classics (Watchmen). Here we have a supernatural crime noir flick that pushes the limits of reality back and forth. The dream sequences vs the nightmares are so well done, visually. Anytime I have attempted to write up a summary of Moore's work, I end up fumbling along since it is always so complicated and confusing. This is no accident either; he makes sure you are left wondering when the curtain falls, so to speak. Each character is unique and very well cast, even if they were all unknown to me. Tom Burke, who is our head detective here, is searching for an artifact he was hired to retrieve. But the last known person wearing it was killed, and he must track down what happened to it after that. This takes him deep into strange gangsters' coves with voodoo priestesses for leaders, along with visits to places that have long since been burnt to the ground, among all kinds of other strange occurrences. Moore even decides to drop in and uses his charm to fix himself into your nightmares with a deceptively evil performance. If this review leads you anywhere, just understand it is great to see creativity like this getting a shot since there are not a lot of flix this original floating around. If you dig the film noir along with a bit of supernatural lunacy, this one is right up your alley. Not only am I keeping it, but I know I will get much more out of it during a rewatch or three.
