Strange but I must say, a well-thought of material. I don't see this film being enjoyed by many, I don't see myself watching this again, but the idea of this film will linger to people who actually watched the whole thing.

Both the hoi polloi at Cannes as well as general movie goers seemed confused and disinterested in director David Robert Mitchell's followup to the excellent horror film It Follows. Under the Silver Lake is certainly unique - a sun-drenched neo noir where urban legend and conspiracy theories collide, following a stoned voyeur-turned amateur sleuth in an off-kilter version of L.A. And while the film can best be summed up by, well, strange, for those looking for a film that falls outside the mainstream, give it a shot.
Andrew Garfield plays our stoner, way behind on rent, spying on neighbors, reading zines based on creepy urban legends and otherwise drifting through life. When he spies a cute, young new neighbor ( Sarah - played by …
