Review of The Alchemist Cookbook (2016) by Riff J — 10 Jan 2019

Now when they say "a different kind of movie" this is the definition of that. Its a quirky tale of a loner in the deep woods who runs out of his medication while also messing with dark magic.

The results are shocking and open to interpretation. He tries to summon the demon Bileal (who gives the conjurer gold) and is successful. but how much of what ensues is paranoid hallucinations and how much is interaction with a demon? The lead actor, Ty Hickson, does a masterful job commanding your attention from beginning to end, which is a good thing considering 90% of the movie is just him in a single setting.

Its definitely a compliment when I say this film is out there, and will especially appeal to the people that like to watch movies high.
