Review of The Alchemist Cookbook (2016) by Kahlan N — 22 Jan 2018
As indi flicks go this one is remarkable. Despite static shots and cinematography, the overall tone sucks you in like stockholm syndrome. The narrative was a completely unique in regards to structure, always playing on subtlety to create an overwhelming sense of unease.
The practical effects and hodgepodge hoodoo were completely copesthetic and allowed for that sense of unpredictability. The best part of the film was Ty Hickson's performance which showed true dedication to pushing the bounds of a methodical role.
Definitely not you mainstream rabble but it will get under your skin.
