The Curse of Professor Zardonicus

This movie has so much more going for it. Upon my first viewing it's a fun ride. Upon my second viewing however I found it has a message. A very important one. Depression and mental illness are a real thing. Sometimes medicine helps sometimes it doesn't and the isolation and sadness can be overwhelming, I've felt it I know. This movie tells a story of a isolated man who is obsessed with a single thing and it's consumed him and isolated him in ways no one could imagine. Then someone else comes along and at first doesn't believe a word he says but slowly becomes convinced he's telling the truth and not only that becomes one of his best friends. This movie is moving and emotional in spots that aren't expected. One of my top ten movies of all time hands down. Thanks to the creators for getting this out there. The acting on all parts is incredible and can show how a movie can be more than just a movie.

I was surprised by it. Enjoyed the writing and the visuals. If you're into indie films on a budget, you'll really want to take a look at this. You're going to be able to tell people you knew about Theis' stuff before any of your friends were.

Made on a shoestring, Zardonicus delivers on the strength of its writing, acting, and photography. Stands up to multiple viewings. It took me awhile to get used to the lead, but now I think this is a strong performance.

Yo listen up I just watched Morbius and this movie is almost as good as Morbius is, like it's not as good as Morbius because Morbius goes to 11 but The Curse of Professor Zardonicus is at least a 10 and that's pretty good too. I like the part where Professor Zardonicus shows up and is like "I'M PROFESSIN' HERE"

I was expecting this to be silly due to the name and by all means it definitely is and at times the acting is a bit over the top but I see that as almost a benefit to the believability of why Darren acts the way he does This movie follows around a dude filming a school project on a certain topic and gets in contact with Darren who claims he was brutal attacked by local school legend Professor Zardonicus and wants Greg to help him seek out the truth This movie was surprisingly heartwarming and it's definitely deeper than it appears touching up on thing like mental illness and media Was it cheesy? Sure? Was it bad? Not at all at least for me. It's always nice when there's actual effort in trying to make a good story and you see it here.

I honestly had little to no expectations when throwing this on. I had heard of the director in the local Houston scene, so when i came across the film, I was already somewhat familiar with the title. Once it began, I was taken back a bit by its style, which i actually enjoy. Once you get introduced to the characters, everything flows well from there. It doesn't go without some flaws, however, for a $3,500 budget, the small crew, and (insert another reason). It earned a solid 7/10 for indie work. I would recommend this as a watch for a fun Saturday-night adventure.

This movie is at least better then Morbius. It's a low budget movie with lots of heart and soul into it. Don't miss out on a great movie, just because of a low score.
