The Devil’s Carnival (2012)

So many different ways to mock this, where do I start…

Somewhat creepy and dark.  As such, a bit like ‘Lo’.  But I don’t anticipate watching this again once, let alone three times.  Because it’s most like the parts of ‘Lo’ I really didn’t like…if you enjoyed the songs/faces/arty touches from ‘Lo’, you might like this.  If you enjoyed ‘Lo’ because it was, at heart, a touching true romance, you’ll probably find this quite tedious.

It’s not a throwaway…a lot of care/planning obviously went into this.  Which makes it that much more disappointing that it fails to deliver much of anything except admittedly great imagery and boring, generic weirdness.

You don’t laugh with it, but you might laugh at it, if you don’t turn it off first.

My only consolation is the glimmering hope that I may live long enough for these works of brilliant songform to pass into the public domain.

Highlights: Being reminded briefly of ‘Lo’, and fervently hoping the woman with massive cleavage would be selected as a player. 

SPOILER ALERT: She isn’t.

Three “Sins” apparently punished: Greed, Suicide, and Trust.  HUH?
