Evixion

About This Movie

Evixion is this odd little gem from '86 that really leans into that silent film vibe, despite being made in the 80s. The absence of dialogue creates this haunting atmosphere, making you feel like you're peering into the lives of these marginal characters—it's voyeuristic in the best way. The pacing is deliberately slow, almost dreamlike, which lets you soak in the peculiarities of each tenant. Practical effects are minimal but effective, adding to the surreal quality. There’s something raw about the performances, particularly the aging homosexual character and his troubled lover that drives the film's themes of addiction and isolation home. It's not your typical narrative, and that’s what sets it apart.

Evixion has had a bit of a complicated release history, with only a handful of prints circulating among collectors. It's not exactly easy to find, which adds to its allure for those in the know. The film's unique style has led to a slow-growing appreciation, especially among collectors who value experimental cinema and the silent film aesthetic blended with 80s sensibilities. As such, it garners interest not just for its rarity but for its distinct narrative approach that challenges traditional storytelling.
