Avant-garde cognoscenti are surely already in line, yet the film is accessible and often hypnotic on an intuitive level.

The atmosphere is mythic and pervasive. The imagery, of night and nature and dancing flames, seems ripped from liner notes. Even the title sounds like something you might see scrawled across a record sleeve in Gothic typeface.

Landscapes and lyric conundrums distinguish the first two-thirds of this find-your-own-meaning artflick, which unfurls like some stranger's life you're half reliving.

Robert AA Lowe makes for an enigmatic talisman. But it would require a properly powerful incantation for Spell to translate into magic.

It is arresting in many ways and concerned to elucidate the experience of being on one's own. Is any other state possible?

As a rumination on existence, this never gets as deep or as insightful as it wants to.

Audience Reviews for A Spell To Ward Off The Darkness
-
Jun 15, 2015One star for the heavy metal, if you leave out the singing. This is a good film to go to if you have to get indoors somewhere dry for a while and take a nap during a film that has really long takes of nothing happening, and I mean really long takes. Except for the band members, all of the characters in this including the lead actor are incredibly boring and superficial. The woman spouting the potted philosophy takes the cake for inanity. But ignore everything and have your sleep; that will be the best part.. . Super Reviewer
