Calliope (Lauren Myers) and Roy (Frank Taylor Green) have a great life together. Both have the foundations of a classic liberal education. Callie suffers a seizure as Roy proposes to her. We later discover she has a brain lesion and is told not to watch TV. We are suddenly thrust into Callie's dark past and her relationship with a guy we know as "Dead Billy" (John Hardy) "Dead" is a nickname explained in different ways. Billy is an ex-Vietnam vet and is old enough to be Callie's father. We have glimpses of a world of sex and drugs.
The film is not a horror movie. It is designed to be a modern Greek Tragedy. There is mystery, i.e. as to what is really going on within the film, what is real and what is imaginary as Callie, the muse, finds herself cast into Tartarus. Yes, it is an indie art film, one I believe I have figured out, but am not sure. A second viewing is needed and I am not sure I liked the film that much to do so.
For those who indie art and mystery, and daddy issues (I think)- this one has it. Not recommended for the casual viewer who like mainstream films. Good Luck should you opt to view it.
