Art that imitates life or life imitating art?

After a publisher is found dead, detectives find that she was reviewing a new piece of comic art that just happens to end just as her life ended. Baffled, detective look to the artist for an explanation but she is also confused and horrified. What does it all mean and how can the artist's renderings be so exact?

This was an interesting concept. It struggles to pin down a motive whether it may be based in reality or the supernatural. I loved all of the comic art. It was all really well done and the horror aspect was on point. The problem with this film is that it has a great deal of momentum in the beginning but slowly starts to lose steam. I think it could've used a little work. Some scenes seemed to be too long because they didn't offer explanations or really add much to the plot.

So, the positives for this film is that the idea is catchy, the artwork is fantastic, horror aspect is prevalent (but not in a gory way) and it starts off with great momentum. The problems are that it has unnecessary, drawn out scenes and it fizzles out in the end. Not a bad watch but has room for improvement.
