am i too dumb to understand this movie?

This ain't your typical sci-fi horror. Not for everyone. Oh well.

I loved it.


You mean Norman Bates Jr. is the baby daddy?

Yes, you are :(

It's not about things that are actually happening. It's about various hypothetical reactions to ultimate pain, meditating on which reactions are more or less likely to melt the reactor.

The answer to your question is simply "yes."

The concept, visuals, and score work for me, but the acting, casting, and script could all use a great deal of improvement.

The black pool scene to me is an initiation rite that expands Barry Nyle's mind in a dangerous, insanity-inducing way and welcomes him into the cult of Dr. Arboria, which requires a blood sacrifice for him to join. Once this is carried out, Nyle is awarded stewardship of Arboria's research program, which aims to bring about the next stage in human evolution by experimenting on Arboria's psychically gifted daughter, Elena.

Over the course of however many years, the increasingly insane and sadistic Nyle grows evermore obsessed with Elena, and attempts to murder her when she escapes his clutches. Elena kills Nyle en route to freedom. Post credits we discover that the cult of Dr. Arboria's influence has spread to whatever degree beyond the walls of its compound.

No, you're not.

I know I'm not dumb and I didn't get this movie. Even those who say they did understand this, have seen it different ways!? So who's right and who's wrong? No one knows, except makers of this awful piece of a film. And I'm not so sure if even they know.

BTBR was a painful experience, and it just lacked content. And one way to hide the fact of no content is make things happen sloooowly to fill the time needed to have full length film. There is not a single interesting character, only one disgusting. Technically...well, I don't even want to discuss it.

Throughout the movie I was thinking this is so bad, that some people are probably trying to create cult status for it. When I came here to read comments, I had a good laugh, when I saw the cult status creation well in the way. Intelligent people wasting their time trying to explain this film to others, but mainly for themselves. You just can't explain a movie without content, it is just... nothing.

The movie tried to be different, for this I can give it one point or star or whatever.

No, you're not dumb simply because a movie didn't resonate with you.

Honestly, I don't think you're suppose to interpret the movie. I think you're suppose to see it as some fevered dream in a way. A bizarre nightmare you have one evening but something you experience with no expectation of logic, explanation or ultimate meaning. I think it's purposely left vague and visceral so the movie is more an experience of your own response to the stimuli and artistic representation.

I personally loved the movie but it was mostly because I didn't try to understand it. I just experienced it and ended up really digging up.
