This was a bleak, stark portrait of venture capitalism melded bizarrely with a reprise of Herk Harvey's indie classic Carnival of Souls.
Styling the former as contemporary horror is an inspired touch...at its heart savage capitalism is as cold and heartless as any boogie man a scriptwriter can dream up. And it's real. And so are its victims.
I doubt if many viewers will recognize the Harvey reference but it doesn't matter. The film stands on its own and gets its point across in a clean, sterile way.
