A woman leaves the farm and enters the unknown.
Leave your thoughts about The Oregonian.
| Film BlatherEugene NovikovReeder has a feel for the indelibly creepy; some of the visions he conjures felt like the kinds of nightmares I might have in my nightmares. |
| Time OutDavid FearThough Reeder's attempts to unnerve sometimes veer close to enfant terrible posturing, The Oregonian knows how to work its unpleasantness to primo psychotronic effect. |
| ScreenAnarchyJ HurtadoEvery frame of the film had a purpose, and that purpose was to unsettle. Mission accomplished. |
| Village VoiceChuck WilsonReeder has stated that he intends for The Oregonian to be "an art film" and not the horror movie it appears to be on the surface, but he's not above upping the gross-out factor in the final reel or creating scream-filled aural landscapes so piercing that one's spine ripples. Artfully. |
| User ReviewBarry FQuite possibly the most bizarre film I've ever seen |
| User ReviewJosh Bit's deeper than you think, but you need patience to watch it......... This is actually a really creepy-ass movie, serously, don't watch this movie if you're trippin' out. Let me break it down for you. The girl was murdered and raped. This is what I think- the movie was her experience of the afterlife, the moments where her brain was still signalling-- and that is why parts of the movie don't make sense, much like a dream. She was most likely douced with gasoline *(hense everyone drinking gasoline). Also, that explains the final scene where she blisters and burns up in the car. This movie is good because you have to THINK and they don't spell out the story line... very interesting but could spoil a good mood. |
| User ReviewMatthew SCalvin Reeder's movie is actually a number of stolen disturbing cinematic cliches stitched together to form a mess of confused horror. But no one can deny that Reeder doesn't manage to create some oddly artistic and semi-comedic creepiness from beginning to end. It is quite flawed, but fans of trippy horror movies will be entertained. This film along with his short features offers an interesting glimpse into an experimental horror filmmaker finding his own voice. |
| User ReviewGreg SA woman has an accident driving in the deserted woods and finds herself trapped in a world where nothing makes sense. The director, Calvin Reeder, accurately describes it as a "surrealist/experimental movie with splashes of horror"; about a fourth of the audience walked out of the screening I saw, more likely from boredom than shock. If you're going to make a film with essentially no plot, every individual scene needs to be a knockout, and that's just not the case with THE OREGONIAN. But it gets points for remaining defiantly weird, and for a couple of very nice funny/creepy touches: a man whose pee turns all the colors of the rainbow, and a man-sized green muppet character. |
| User ReviewJohnny PWell shot, well edited, well acted, great sound design, very cool and stylish end credits. Way too much weird just to be weird and obtuse just to be obtuse and drooling of various substances out of mouths. There are people who will like this a lot more than me (and I didn't hate it, just found it to be, ultimately, disappointing). |
