A long strange trip
Elena is held in a facility, seemingly against her will. She is controlled by a glowing pyramid. And yes, it gets weirder. Set in 1983, this film is billed as an homage to sci-fi thrillers of the 1980s. The visuals are very striking, the cinematography is great, but Beyond the Black Rainbow lacks a lot. The story is very thin, and at times is non-existent. This is resolution to the story at the end, but it could have been arrived at in half the time. It might have worked well as a short film, but fails as a feature. To say it is weird is an understatement.
