Reminiscence:
The Beginning (2015) is a decent low budget horror film that
explores the possibilities of black holes in time and has some pretty
effective violence and a few effective scares. The filmmakers were
obviously influenced by Paranormal Activity and Darren
Aronofsky when they penned the screenplay and while it never reaches
that level, it is effective cinematic storytelling.
There
are worlds, there are humans and there are Others. But there is only
one Time which is the border between worlds. What if time breaks
down? Reminiscence, based on true events and physics, telling
the story of a couple that trying to experiment the unproved parallel
time and black-hole theories. They traveled to a town called Cesme
for their research. But what they will face is much beyond the human
mind.
Presented
in standard definition on DVD with an anamorphic widescreen aspect
ratio of 1.78:1 and a lossy Dolby Digital 5.1 track, the film looks
fine and being its limited budget doesn't really need a Blu-ray
version to compliment it but it would be nice.
Extras
are only a Visual Motion Menu, which I'm not sure even qualifies as
an extra.
