Fabio D’Orta’s The Complex Forms has such an interesting concept: A group of men, desperate for money, have come to an ancient villa where they are told all of their problems will be solved if they sell their bodies to a mysterious entity. What follows looks and feels unlike any movie I can think of.

With one creative force — and just a three person crew — doing everything from directing and writing to the cinematography, score and special effects, this is obviously a passion project.

Is it worth 10,000 lira for Christian (David White) to be possessed by something for 12 days? Not when the monsters come from the forests, huge dark ancient things covered in jewels and slouching in an inhuman march forward. These are some of the most unique effects I’ve seen in some time and I was taken aback by just how strange and horrifying they are. It sounds like hyperbole but it’s true: these are the most unique behemoths since H.R. Giger’s xenomorph.

This is something else and demands to be experienced. If you plays near you or when it starts online, make a point to see it.
