Recycle is about a female writer who faces weird occurrences ever since she started to writer a new book. She's also facing relationship problems with her ex-husband.
The reason I called this a salad bowl is because, as I watched the movie 'blind'(not knowing what exactly it is), I thought it's gonna be the typical girl-haunted-by-ghost horror movie. The first half of the movie is just painful to watch. If you watched horror movies, you know the typical drill. Weird shadows moving, sudden trumpet-loud noises, ghost appear behind the character, character turns and disappear. It's a freakin piously-text-book horror techniques.
The second half of the film made me happy since it was a lot better, with an interesting premise but the first painful half left quite a scar. By then, I thought I was watching The Fall or Narnia, a fantasy-riddle movie. The places and the music fits so very well with a fantasy movie. Now throw in the relationship part, the twist part- you got a salad bowl.
The premise of the movie is that all the unwanted, unfulfilled, abandoned, forgotten things are transported to a whole new spiritual world. It's a very exciting one to look at but some are horrible.
For example, the first place was some slums with zombies. Clichéd, dull and boring. The last place was just some rocky mountains with floating rocks, again, what is noteworthy here? I just didn't find any! The interesting places are the "tunnel", "bookland" "toyland","playground land" and "graveyard".
Sadly, for some of these places like bookland, playground and toyland, the characters just pass by them without developing and expanding more about the land. Who are the people there? What are the people doing with the books there? What's with the slums? The character while at the slums just look around, chased by zombies, moved on the next place. Running? Yes. Exposition? Explanation? Expanding? None.
Just one last thing...What's with the overkill of onions?? I mean zombies! It's the only thing chasing after the character. Is zombies all that's is abondened as we know? We abandoned models after they get old, we abandoned soldiers at war, we abandoned old people in the shelter, the homeless in the alley, the whores in the gutter, the average teenager who committed suicide, the crippled in their hospital bed. But what's chasing the characters 90% of the movie? Zom-bies.
