Played without dialogue at all, \u201cSlip Road\u201d is very reliant on facial expressions and reaction shots, and there are some great moments of our main character drifting from one world in to another.<\/p>\n<p>I interpreted the film likely as our protagonist either descending in to death, or making a deal with death to perhaps gain another form of existence that doesn\u2019t involve dying. While it\u2019s never completely verified in the climax, I quite loved a lot of the imagery director Raphael Dubois invokes, from the shadowy roads, vibrant fires, and ghoulish antagonist who seems to be taunting the main character. I\u2019d love to see what director Dubois can do with the horror genre down the line.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Slamdance Film Festival runs every year from January 25<sup>th<\/sup> to January 31<sup>st<\/sup>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cDepartment of Anarchy\u201d Short Block \u00a0A lot of \u201cSlip Road\u201d is left to the viewer to interpret and for a short form film, and I don\u2019t mind saying that it can be a bit of a task. \u201cSlip Road\u201d is beautifully filmed, along with some striking visuals, I just would have loved a tad more [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[349,501,703,938],"class_list":["post-30251","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-movie-reviews","tag-fantasy","tag-indie-film","tag-mystery","tag-short-film"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30251","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30251"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30251\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30253,"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30251\/revisions\/30253"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30251"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30251"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30251"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
