Diegetic sound is any sound in a film. That doesn’t exactly sound mindblowing, does it? Let me explain. The first 20 minutes of DIS—a full 1/3 of the entire film—has no dialogue. Corona lets the visuals and the ambient sound carry the film. It’s in between the vocal silences where you discover the most intense things. Without dialogue to distract y...
So, you think the mandrake is just that screaming plant from the Harry Potter movies? Think again! Belonging to the nightshade family, mandrakes—genus Mandragora—are a species of poisonous plants that have been used in traditional medicine for centuries for their real or supposed aphrodisiac, hypnotic, emetic, purgative, sedative, and pain-killing ...
Yes, that Unearthed Films. The distribution company that brought you the American Guinea Pig films, the new A Serbian Film release, 29 Needles (2019 – read our review here), Deep Web XXX, and Adam Ford’s Torment, just to name a few. All you gorehounds know what I’m talking about. DISis dirty, wet, grimy, and twisted in both look and story. You can ...
Believe it or not, DIS is a beautiful film. You can’t help but notice the lush, sprawling Mexican landscapes, especially when compared to the right angles and brightly colored, spray-painted murals in the abandoned building. Simple shots like the camera panning around Oberst as he turns to notice the masked woman a few stories above him, his face t...
The meaning behind the movie’s title, DIS, comes from The City of Dis from Dante’s Divine Comedy, where the sixth through the ninth circles of Hell are located. This is where the heretics, murderers, suicides, blasphemers, panderers, seducers, flatterers, false prophets, hypocrites, thieves, fraudulent advisors, sowers of discord, falsifiers, and t...
Speaking of being an asshole, Ariel is no saint. Not only does he leave his sick wife with his loathsome brother when he goes off to war, his reaction to her when he finally returns is revolting, obscene, and downright nasty. He runs away when things get tough, and he has no sympathy for anyone but himself. He’s a complete douche canoe. Watch his r...
Memories are a slippery thing, aren’t they? Two people can go through the same exact experience and tell a completely different story about it later on. We remember things through a haze of personal whitewashing that gets reinterpreted every time we add another memory to the pile. We always want to see ourselves as the hero of our story, don’t we? ...
I’m not usually a fan of non-linear films, mostly because when I sit down to watch a movie, I’m expecting a 3 act story. But I knew DISwas different before I even hit Play, so I just let my mind ride the wave, and I was rewarded with an unforgettable, well-crafted trip into madness. This film is artistic horror at its finest. Yes, it’s an extremely...
Bill Oberst, Jr. plays the heartbreaking yet deserving character of Ariel, a lesson in futility. He’s a lost, tragic figure that always chooses the wrong path, the one covered in brambles and poison ivy. Over and over again, he’s given the chance to redeem himself, and every time, he chooses the devil on his shoulder. But the way Oberst plays this ...
