Had the pleasure of seeing this on the big screen at the Deptford Cinema in London. Nothing could prepare me for the assault on the senses that ELLIOT turned out to be. A truly one of a kind art piece depicting a claustrophobic, dystopian and nightmarish future that was shot on videotape to give it the air of an otherworldly transmission.
I would compare this on one level as being like somebody spiking the punch bowl at a Doctor Who monster's party with LSD and on another a strong return to the dying art of splattery cyber punk with added Cronenbergian touches.
The film-makers worked truly hard on bringing this unique vision to life and it shows in every shot on screen.
It is a must for all those interested in the underground, transgressive and more avant-garde cinema. It will certainly be a love or hate title but those who do appreciate it will see that there is something truly stunning here. I look forward to seeing what Dreams for Dead Cats productions offer up next.
