Something Else

About This Movie

So, 'Something Else' is this curious gem from 2000, featuring Frank Gorshin, who really brings a unique energy to the screen. The tone is a bit surreal, and it feels like they were going for something artsy yet grounded at the same time. You’ve got these practical effects that might feel dated, but they hit hard in a nostalgic sort of way. The pacing can be inconsistent—sometimes it drags, but then it picks up with moments that just pop. Themes of identity and the human condition weave through it, giving it a strange weight. It’s definitely one of those films you watch and think, 'What is going on here?' which kind of adds to its charm, you know?

This film has been somewhat elusive in terms of availability, with limited releases on DVD and VHS, making it a rarity for collectors. The lack of solid genre classification and a known director adds to its enigmatic allure. Interest in Frank Gorshin’s works tends to spike when film festivals highlight unique and lesser-known titles, giving this film its niche appeal. If you come across a copy, it’s definitely worth considering for its odd charm and Gorshin's performance.
