RAVING REVIEW: <\/strong>This was a complex review for me to write; sometimes, it takes separating the art from the artist to have an unbiased view. I fought this battle about focusing solely on the \u201cart\u201d or using my voice.<\/p>\n

\n

I guess by mentioning that, I\u2019ve already lost my battle. For all of the good that \u201cThe Soska Sisters\u201d have done and stood for, in the end, it\u2019s the company they keep that can speak volumes. I won\u2019t go into detail; there are plenty of articles online debating the right and wrong of who they associate with and what they say. I can only say that the current situation that Ye (born Kanye West) has caused recently only brings the sister’s past back to the surface (although they almost look good by comparison.) For all of the good that \u201cThe Soska Sisters\u201d have done and stood for, in the end, it\u2019s the company they keep that can speak volumes.<\/p>\n

Now that we have that out of the way, this film \u201cis something,\u201d and I still don\u2019t know if that\u2019s good or bad. While I\u2019ve known the name \u201cThe Soska Sisters\u201d for years, it wasn\u2019t until recently that I watched a film by them. I was shocked in the best way possible; AMERICAN MARY (even with its flaws) was a breath of fresh air into a genre that I found pretty stale. I love horror, but that\u2019s a double-edged sword, as it takes something special to make me appreciate entries I haven\u2019t seen before.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t even know that I would so much call ON THE EDGE a horror film. I could spend hundreds of words going in-depth with artfully crafted thoughts on what this film is. At the surface level, it\u2019s about learning lessons the hard way. Suppose you want a deeper dive into the method behind the madness. In that case, plenty of reviewers are entirely sesquipedalian (used to describe someone or something that overuses big words) in their reviews, and obviously, that was intentional.<\/p>\n

In closing, this film had a lot of potential for the message it was trying to convey. Although technically, it felt lightyears behind the now decade-old AMERICAN MARY, with issues in lighting, sound, camerawork, and especially some moments where the acting felt like something you\u2019d see in a B movie. I\u2019m curious because I\u2019ve heard positive reactions to their 2019 film RAPID (if you\u2019ve seen it, please let me know your thoughts.)<\/p>\n
