Beneath the Green (2023)
don't bother. really, don't bother!
Except possibly for some of the early soundtrack, this film is awful. That's A. W. F. U. L., in EVERY respect. Twilight Zone episodes are FAR better--more gripping, more entertaining, and infinitely more comprehensible! Much of the editing is simply jarring and, ultimately annoying, and does nothing to serve a storyline, or create or enhance a mood. The disembodied, floating head of victor is FAR surpassed by the wizard's head in The Wizard of Oz. The director seems to be trying to leap-frog off of 'Solaris' (1972 (russian Solyaris) and 2002 remake starring george clooney). Indeed, virtually all of the 'effects' are just way better in thousands of other films, sci-fi or otherwise. Towards the end i asked my wife to turn the dam*ed thing off. She replied that there were only 20 minutes left; it has to be one of the most wasted 20 minutes of my entire 70+ years. Maybe if you're heavily stoned or on an acid trip, this film could make you roll with mocking laughter. Really, do not bother with this one.
