The Incident (2014)
10/10
Definitely not a waste of time - just not for everyone...

Wow - I was greatly surprised by the idea in this movie.

So happy to realize it's a mexican production as well.

It brings an interesting concept based on alternate/parallel realities/dimensions, time loops and reincarnation...with its own new ideas, that add up to the genre - making it a quite original movie.

Since the characters are all sort trapped in a specific time/space area - such as in a maze -, it reminded me the super classic "The Cube". This movie really transmits this feeling of suffocation and forsakenness.

The movie is dark, disturbing and puzzling. You gotta follow up details.

So it's really not a "relaxing" movie. Same happens with "The Cube" - it really achieves the same atmosphere.

Acting was good enough - sometimes a little bit overreacted in my opinion - but when the time comes, actors are able to display traits of insanity in a fantastic way.

Such an event described in the movie can definitely push a mind beyond and make it break to pieces.

The remaining ones, the survivors, are given a chance to end it all...

If you are a fan of time loop movies, alternate realities, psychological dramas and mystery...you like movies such as "The Cube", or love Cronenberg's work...then give it a go - you won't be disappointed.

This has easily become one of my tops dark SCI-FI movie!

So happy I had the chance to see it!
