I discovered this gem of a movie at the Horrorant Festival in Greece;it's a pity that horror movie means these days paranormal activities and other catastrophes.Schism gives horror cinema back its dignity.An otherwise usual plot, of amnesia after coma, is carefully narrated and directed to turn into a dreamy universe that reminds of the poetic horror cinema of 60s and 70s, with a little bit of gore.The movie avoids clichés, and is full of nightmarish sequences that do not end with the final solution.I read somewhere that it can be considered as a neo-noir, something one can definitely say following the way the film unfolds, as an investigation in noir tones, both in music and image.At the end you feel you have been immersed in a hallucinatory world, of shadows and whispers.And that is what horror movies must be like!
