The director's name seems lost to time or maybe just not well-known, but it has this strange, almost surreal vibe that really captures the essence of the era. The pacing's a bit uneven, which gives it an off-kilter charm, like it's wandering through its own narrative maze. There’s a distinctive use of practical effects that feels both raw and innovative for the time, which adds to its unique atmosphere. The performances? Well, they have a certain earnestness that pulls you in, even if the dialogue can feel a bit stilted at times. It’s definitely one of those films that leaves you scratching your head, pondering its themes long after the credits roll.

Finding a copy of Start can be quite the challenge, as it seems to have slipped under the radar of most mainstream collectors. The film was released in limited formats, with a few rare VHS copies floating around. Its obscurity and distinctive style have piqued some collectors’ interest, leading to a growing appreciation among those who delve into the more offbeat corners of cinema history.
