"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

#Spooktober 10 – Fire City

It’s a weird movie, and I like the story behind it as it was spanning from a broader worldbuilding project and it was basically croudfunded.

Autumn Vine is a fixer for his brethren demons and what he provides is misery. By slowly influencing humans around them, demons have sustained themselves for centuries, living in close quarters with mortals and pushing them to commit horrible acts so that they can feed on the misery they inflict.
One night, too much is too much. A random act of overdue mercy sets disruption in motion, as the demons start to mysteriously die and the community is locked within their condo, for fear that they would spread their disease. But is it a sickness or a shift in paradigm? I guess it’s a matter of perspective.

This is a movie for you if you like the idea of parallel worlds, if you enjoy Del Toroesque visuals and if you have a thing for cyberpunk aesthetics.
