An anthology disguised as a regular genre film, high on style and sporting some interesting setups. Quarxx is a director with a strong personal signature who isn't happy to stick to established genre conventions. Films that deviate from the norm have been struggling this past decade, so it's not surprising to see some pushback against Pandemonium. If you appreciate films with a heavy stylistic focus and a tendency to avoid the beaten paths, be sure to give this one a go. It's one of the cooler horror films I've seen for some time.
