‘The Dark Red’: Film Review

has made several interesting genre features on his own since. Like cloning fantasy “The Reconstruction of William Zero” and bank-robbery-turned-monster-movie “The Vault” before it, his latest intrigues with an offbeat premise that it ultimately doesn’t develop to fully satisfying results., “The Dark Red” is an overcomplicated stew of apparent madness, conspiracy, supernatural powers and revenge whose narrative elements never quite mesh, or even come to full fruition individually.

Sybil has been diagnosed as schizophrenic, but insists the “voices” she hears are real — a rare blood type has somehow made her capable of reading others’ thoughts. She claims it’s this distinction that resulted in her baby being ripped from her womb, and she’s frantic to be freed so she can locate the child she’s convinced is still alive.

“The Dark Red’s” momentum is continually stalled by our returning to that rather ponderous framing device of present-tense therapy sessions. A narrative structure less tricky than awkward only seems more so when we finally ditch the flashbacks, so Sybil can seek vengeance — a process initiated in the corniest way possible, complete with poker-faced training montage.
