I haven't seen anyone mention it but The Man From Earth is fantastic. It's literally just about a guy saying goodbye to his friends and telling an unbelievable story. There aren't any flashbacks or visuals illustrating the story. Just him talking and their reactions but it's so well written that it really draws you in.
Granted it's not horror but more people should see this gem
Such a great concept for a movie. It’s like a short story brought to life. I could easily see this done as a stage play, to a much greater effect. Especially the culmination of his story, the reveal, and the potential implication.
Wish the acting was better, but still a great movie!
What potential implications are there?
Not really a spoiler, but I don’t want to say anything so you can go in blind.
It’s not a “What?!? The whole time?!?” Like Sixth Sense, but an interesting perspective.
I saw the film a decade ago. You can't spoil me. I just don't remember any implications. Everything was pretty clearly spelled out - or I missed something, and want you to tell me!
2007?
Yes. That would be it.
Thanks
Whatever you do, dont watch the sequel though, what a fucking mess lol
I was about to do that. Lol. Thanks!
