Simple, but complicated, are the 2 phrases that come to thoughts after watching Anthony de Lioncourt’s brief horror, sci-fi thriller, The Island of Siren Head.
Our story opens with a disabled veteran, Orson (Dillon John Collins), and veterinarian, Kimmy (Jordan Elizabeth Gelber), stepping foot on a mysterious island on the behest of the philanthropic group often known as The Obsidian Corporation.
The as soon as thriving island is now devoid of life. All the animals have died, so Kimmy has been despatched there with Orson as her protector. As the pair begins exploring the island, they arrive throughout the carcasses of assorted animals, together with an elephant…not indigenous to this area. The stark terrain reminds Orson of the battlefield, the place his complete squad died, and he was the only survivor.
Orson and Kimmy then come across an outside sanctuary surrounded by what seems to be archaic statues and non secular artifacts. As Kimmy stands within the middle, she all of the sudden turns into possessed by an historical spirit.
“…stepping foot on a mysterious island on the behest of the philanthropic group…The Obsidian Corporation…”
The Island of Siren Head is a beautiful mix of conventional low-budget indie filmmaking mixed with off-the-shelf CG results. When the movie opens, we’re thrown again to sci-fi tales of the 50s and 60s. Our story is shot in black-and-white and shot on previous movie inventory.
The sensible components of our story are our two leads, Collins and Gelber, the island coast, and the outside sanctuary. Filmmaker Anthony de Lioncourt then makes use of CG to composite numerous scenes of ominous storms on the horizon, the decaying animal carcasses, and the mysterious creature ultimately.
The movie’s French-noir tone and elegance drew me to The Island of Siren Head. The story strikes slowly and intentionally, notably the discussions between Orson and Kimmy. De Lioncourt’s particular results are enjoyable and look good from a low-budget indie standpoint. De Lioncourt’s makes an attempt to mix old-style filmmaking with fashionable particular results are a little bit spotty, however A+ for effort. The Island of Siren Head is a brief worthy to be admired, and De Lioncourt’s movie and his subsequent are value testing.
