Sick Folks of Cinema Ep.28 Beyond the Black Rainbow (2010)

In this week's episode, A heavily sedated woman (Eva Allan) with ESP tries to escape from the secluded commune where she's been held captive. Turn the lights off. Make your popcorn and strap yourself in. Let's discuss and review Beyond the Black Rainbow written and directed by Panos Cosmatos (Mandy 2018).



Storyline: Spanning over two decades of research and innovation from the 1960s to the early-1980s, the Arboria Institute--a secluded New Age commune and a state-of-the-art research facility--and the pill-popping psychiatrist, Dr. Barry Nyle, are particularly interested in their newest specimen: the female patient, Elena. To begin to understand her mind-boggling telekinetic and telepathic abilities, the demented doctor keeps Elena heavily sedated and in a constant catatonic state; however, her capabilities are unfathomable. What are Dr. Nyle's deeper intentions? In the end, could the institute's utopian doctrine be flawed after all?
