If watching a guy go slowly insane for 88 minutes sounds interesting to you, Fabled might be right up your alley.
This debut feature from writer-director Ari Kirschenbaum has a lot more style than substance.
Opening with a portentous quote from Kafka, writer-director Ari Kirschenbuam's Fabled quickly reveals itself to be a hyper-stylized flick, but the glossy sum effect is that of a film student straining for a weightiness he can't pull off.
Turn tail and stay as far away from this so-called horror movie as you can.
Too superficial to stay with you.
Fabled not only lacks contemporary and spiritual resonance but a satisfying closer.
There isn't that much more to it than mood.
The recurring fairy-tale narrative device might fool viewers into thinking FABLED has more of a story than is actually there.
Assured, sophisticated, and confident debut.
Relatively riveting.
