I purchased Montauk Chronicles last month and I wasn't really knowing what to expect. I saw the trailer after hearing the director speak on Coast To Coast AM. I'm a HUGE movie fan. I was born in 1954 and I've had many years to absorb and watch each following decade of movies unfold before my eyes. I'm really turned off by most movies of today. It seems like we lost something in recent years. So here comes Montauk Chronicles a docudrama that covers the tale of three men who say they were part of secret government experiments in the 1970's I was immediately taken by the images/cinematography in the movie. It seems like every frame was pondered over and frankly is quite beautiful. But after a while I realized I've never seen anything quite like this movie before. The central story is good and the interviews are interesting but I was sincerely focused on the craftsmanship in this film. The editing, camera work, creative decisions are all the work of an artist. It's honestly some of the best science fiction or horror images put on film that I've seen in a VERY long time. As for the topic covered. I think the men could be telling the truth about this experiment. They're interesting enough to listen to. It's really the movie as a whole that takes the front seat for me. Bravo. I cannot wait to see what this director makes next.
