I'm not a person that regularly rates movies. I firmly believe that one person's opinion of a movie is just that, their opinion and nothing more. I felt Sublime was a refreshing departure from the usual mindless pictures that are mostly flash and gore with no thought required. Although I am sure that a lot of the symbolism was lost on me, I did recognize that it was there and what it meant. I like movies that are not predictable. Sublime for me definitely did not follow the normal channels of thought. The symbolism of their group posing the picture of The Last Supper and his delusional injuries sustained at the hands of "Mandingo" struck me as brilliant. If you think about it, even the scar where the sympothectomy was performed was in the location that Jesus received the spear wound. His wife playing Judas (the betrayer) and later viewed in his fear filled mind drove that point home.
There are movies out there that need to be seen more than once to truly discover their deep meaning. I think Sublime fits that category. The one mistake I believe that was made was defining it as a horror. I really think it would be more aptly labeled as Suspense or Drama.
