Perfect Psychological Science Fiction Thriller No special effects, no scripts, no crew
Robert Scucci | publishing
Imagine you are attending a dinner with old friends, drinking and waiting to watch celestial events. The night felt ordinary until the entire nearby power went out, leaving only one house in the distance. Your two friends went to borrow the phone, but returned to shaken, unable to explain what had just happened.
This is the 2013 setup Continuitya science fiction thriller without special effects, without scripts, without scripts, but it drags your imagination into such a dark place that you don’t need anything else to feel its annoying upset.
Suffering comes from inside the house, but not the house
Although the initial setup felt clumsy, Continuity Take off quickly. A group of friends realize that they are trapped in cosmic anomalies associated with infinite reality, using Schrödinger’s cat problem as their reference point. Anyone leaving the house will change or possibly replace it, it is recommended that Doppelgangers slide in from nearby timetables.
Trust dissipates when trying to track events in real time, just finding their peers do the same in overlapping reality. Each plan collapses under the weight of parallel actions, making it impossible to tell who belongs to which schedule.
Finally, no one knows if they are still in the same house they are in, the time they have been there, or if the people outside are friends or strangers. Watching it evolve, you get lost because the transformation is subtle until the characters themselves piece them together.
The less you know about this
Continuity Prosperous due to disorientation. Written by James Ward Byrkit’s 12-page treatment, actors are only told about their characters’ goals and motivations before they can improvise. Byrkit whispers about his co-star, creating a scriptless tension that feels real in a way that is unscripted.
Its only stumbling block came early. When I first pressed play, I thought the settings were lazy: although not their realm, each character happened to know about the celestial events. But because the movie never hangs a clear schedule, they may have been captured for longer than they realize. Once the night falls into chaos, that little complaint will soon disappear.
Don’t let familiar frameworks fool you. There, it gives you a last sense of normalcy and then the ground falls completely.
