Carousel

About This Movie

So, Carousel is this intriguing dive into the life of Carl, who, instead of making a standard horror flick, opts for a semi-documentary style. The film's tone shifts between chilling introspection and raw authenticity, with long, lingering shots that really make you feel the weight of his experiences. There's this underlying tension, almost like you’re walking a tightrope between reality and fiction. The practical effects, while minimal, work well in creating that eerie atmosphere—very much in line with the offbeat vibe of his previous works. It has a unique pacing that lets moments breathe, drawing the viewer into his world of chants and oddities, making it a distinct viewing experience, especially for genre enthusiasts.

Carousel was initially bundled as a bonus feature with 'LSD Killer' in 2019, which has contributed to its limited availability. This semi-documentary format is quite different from typical horror releases and has piqued collector interest due to its unique storytelling approach. While not widely circulated, it's gradually gaining traction among collectors who appreciate its experimental style and the backstory of its creation, making it a noteworthy piece for those who delve into the more obscure corners of the genre.
