Candiland.
Peter and Tess, two lovers with tragic pasts barricade themselves in their apartment, dubbing it a new surreal reality called "Candiland'. The only figure in their lives fighting to bring them out of their worsening mental and physical states is Arnie, Peter's father/
This movie is visceral, in that you'll be engrossed, disturbed, maybe a little shaken. There are shocking, unpleasant moments, that deal with dark themes and behaviours. James Clayton's sacrifice and performance is worth watching by itself. And Gary Busey is a powerhouse, especially in the scenes where he attempts to visit Candiland.
Not a horror but very psychologically unnerving. I haven't been able to stop thinking about this film since I saw it. A vivid, nightmarish independent film with a strong message about the stigma of mental illness.
