There was a time when serialkillers Fabian (Dakota Ray) and Kimball
(Darien Fawkes) were friends, and Kimball was even a bit of a mentor to
Fabian, taking him with him on his killing sprees. And they developed
similar interests, too, like defiling the bodies of those they have
killed. But the friends have long gone their separate ways, each killing
on his own - and Fabian has over time grown jealous of Kimball, him being
the only person he knows who has killed more people than himself. So he
thinks by killing his former mentor, the souls of all those Kimball has
killed would be transferred to him. But when the two friends meet again,
Kimball tells Fabian he's terminally ill and requests his help in assisted
suicide ... Now to reduce Prince of the Crimson Void to
its mere storyline wouldn't only sell the film short, it would also mean
missing the point, as while the story is pretty straightforward and offers
little in terms of conflict, the whole thing is much more of a nightmarish
mood piece, a series of often very disturbing images, often filmed in
intentionally irritating close-ups and tinted in unnatural colours,
accompanied by an eerily otherworldly soundscape, and along the way, the
film creates a mythology of its own that's no less on the unsettling side.
Now this is definitely not a film for everybody, and those weak of stomach
better stay away, but for those up for a very dark mindfuck, it's pretty
much a must-see.
