So, 'The Consultation' is a curious gem from 1985, blending fantasy with some heavy themes. The atmosphere feels both surreal and unsettling, almost dreamlike with its unique visual style. You have this mother visiting a psychoanalyst, but here's the twist – he's not human. It explores some pretty intense subjects like incest and racial intolerance, which gives it a dark edge. The pacing can be a bit off-kilter, but it adds to the overall tension. The practical effects, though dated, carry a certain charm that really draws you in. Performances are quite intriguing, too; they definitely sell the bizarre premise. It's one of those films that sticks with you, challenging you to think about the layers beneath its surface.
