Review of Orion

So working in a specialty theater that always has something interesting going on we had DIFF. Also known as Dallas International Film Festival. Now to be honest the only real interest I had in watching this was that it was horror and David Arquette would be showing up. I met him, but that wasn't until after watching this. The director has only one other movie which I've only heard of. This is probably one of the strangest, artsiest, horror films I have seen in possibly ever. There are some scenes that are just off the wall. It's most likely not everyone's cup of tea, but for me I found it quite intriguing. It's very symbolic and mixes a plethora of different religions and science. It feels like the love child of Mad Max, Book of Eli, and even strange as it seems Passion of the Christ. Now I'm definitely not saying it's for Christians to watch. The look and feel of the whole thing is what I mean. Hell the villain ends up being a mash up of all that terrifies. He at one point reminds me of Leatherface in a way. It's inventive and keeps you wondering. It's one heck of an oddball, but I believe if you have an open mind you will enjoy this.
