This film is so disjointed and the dialogue is so disconnected that even when it explains the situation at the end it still makes no sense. If you enjoy playing "how did this film get made?" you might find this fairly amusing. I love a really bad film and this delivers big time. Bad acting, bad script, no connection between anything like a plot, and a 30 second sequence of a van coming down a road, passing two of the principle cast and as it does they see what appears to be Christmas trees in the back of the van. "Creepy," one says to the other. What? Why? What's the connection? If you make it to the end, that's when it becomes the most comical as a Russian command post appears to follow the action a the true nature of the subject is revealed. It's hilarious.

When you use "I'm a movie director" as a pick up line... don't actually put the women you're trying to get with in your movie if you are indeed a movie director. That's the only way I can imagine this movie being made. Pretty girls, terrible acting and an atrociously bad movie that jumps around so much you can't even follow it.

Screenwriter and director Michael Zaiko Hall is interested in aesthetics, coolness, beauty, and conveying strong emotions rather than shooting intelligible content. By the time terror kicked in, halfway in, I forgot I was watching a horror movie. Needless to say, the gore hit like a ton of bricks. The once soothing and contemplative experience got compromised, taking me out of my comfort zone.

The women in the lead are gorgeous, which should be mentioned considering it sums up the whole film. Carrion has tremendous depth and what I perceive as layers, though I must admit I didn't understand half the story. I hope it makes sense to the creator so I can investigate further, assuming that answers can be found. It's effective surrealism, nonetheless, and it makes us feel alive.

Carrion has the kind of editing that takes getting used to and adds complexities to the narrative. The editing may not rub everyone the right way, but it certainly wasn't neglected. Every aspect of this movie feels experimental, but the quality makes it all worthwhile. The danger, with Carrion, is to have trust in its polish and be led to believe it is a better film than it is.
