We’re taking a look at another “locally-sourced” horror; the time-tangled psychedelic noir that is “Burnt Flowers” from Director/Writer/Actor Michael Fausti.
Spanning across 3 eras, a Police Detective on a missing person’s case in the 90s finds it somehow links to a series of unsolved murders around the shady world of 60s gangland, and also to her own family past.
As this is a new film that’s still making waves at various Festivals, this episode is in two stages; first off a general discussion, hopefully giving you an idea of what the film is like, and then we’ll give you fair warning before moving into spoilers.
This is a whole-hearted recommended watch from the Welcome To Horror team, and if you get the chance, we urge you to check it out. With a magnificent cast, a haunting premise and a cinematic look and flair that surpasses it’s small budget and then some; this is a real treat for seekers of the smart and strange in horror.
Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers and join us.
