The Februarian

This is the most disturbing, twisted, sick, psychotic and uncomfortable (short) film that I have ever watched. With that said, considering the affect that it is supposed to have, it was well executed. It was, for me, like watching a really scary horror film, though it’s a psycho-thriller, it seems. I haven’t been this fearful in a long time. I was on the edge of my seat for reasons that I never want to be on the edge of my seat again. I would never watch it again. I am sure of it, but not because it is a bad film: It is an excellent film. It was just way too much for me to handle. But, I do think it’s well worth viewing. It’s an bold twist on a tragic, but prevelant situation. It’s something that you would never expect. Here’s the IMDB description:

“The Johnsons are an attractive, well-to-do, upper-middle class family. Sidney, husband and father, is a famous poet, known and adored for his kindness and sensitivity. Joan, wife and mother, is a dutiful housewife, an obsessive homemaker and the life of every party. Their son, Isaiah, is a charismatic young man who has just gotten married to an equally appealing young woman. In fact, there is only one thing that separates the Johnsons from their charming friends and neighbors: Isaiah, the son, has been molesting Sidney, the father, since he was twelve years old.”
