SOMEBODY GET ME SOME LITHIUM!

Todays sacrifice........ **2018's - Delirium** *** ![D6.jpg](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmX2Rfg3Nx7AcSoCPs97DPsagv3V8ihbR5coEpt8kA1oQM) I'm not going nuts with this review. Although I didn't like it - I don't think it's even worth the effort thats going in to writing this. So much potential. There were just no surprises. Everything played out as you would expect. I caught myself yawning out of boredom on multiple occasions. *** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTXvB2DW2bg *** After his fathers suicide Tom is released from a long stint at a mental institution and inherits his family mansion. Slowly his mental state quickly deteriorates as he begins to suspect the home is haunted. ![D9.jpg](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmPG93yF2q7pZwVKznqYioqzaauMon24xsgWVGHYnAKTsp) Old demons - Both figurative and real begin to surface - Further stressing his already fragile mind. It's Shudder Island meets The Shining / 1408. What's real? Whats imaginary? Whats a delusion? Where does fact end and fiction begin? ![D5.jpg](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmXm2jrqgNvkAikBDuA4qKqLQzxk5kNgzyjYTYXaisvQCK) It starts out well enough. Set design and production values are all there. The cinematography is better than most of the films you would find in this tier - The problme is the plot gets bogged down by so much soap opera-ish familial bullshit it drags the pace of the movie to a screaming crawl. There's so much cheesy dialogue - It's exhausting - trying to keep your self focused and entertained. ![D1.jpg](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmcgNPPua8SpGonajma1p2mGCpeq8y3mXKsoMTkjDBrCF3) WTF is with his parole officer / handler? Every word she speaks sounds like it was purposely written to sound cliche and cringe. She's a walking talking _COCK_ - I don't know how else to explain her. She dies. I was glad. ![D8.jpg](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmbAYxRWRJt9CZMSbwxUHj8dK4x8nARYomkczTUvB9Prcz) There are devices in the film - Such as an telephone that he must answer twice a day - _That can ring no more than 10 times_ - He has to say his name and let the phone take a photo of his face - As soon as you're introduced to it and it's mechanics are explained you know exactly how it's going to play into the story. ![D2.jpg](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmQAzobFukjmp24FqokMar2KkKRFsi1C45Csx7cAxenG7G) Tom finds secret passages. Peepholes.Two way glass viewing areas. Tape recorders and video collections - His father had some sick and twisted obsessions. There is also a buried family secret - that is uncovered - but if you're paying attention to everything that happens it should come as no surprise. *** **MY MAIN GRIPES** _Imposter syndrome Cliche riddled plot and characters Cheesy jump scares Daddy Issues Tried to cram in way too much backstory EXPOSITION!!!!!!!_ ***
