"The presentation, including the slipcover indicate and atmosphere filled with psychological dread. Akin to the Blair witch project, I felt mostly boredom. Perhaps it is over my head. Nonetheless, props to the cat and crew for making something."
"This was a very slow burn, a little slower than I was expecting, but still decent. If you have the patience, its a rewarding experience, due mostly to the atmosphere. Not a huge amount of plot. But well made and acted."
"A little bit slow, so be prepared. Definitely worth the watch if you're in the right mood, but perhaps not one to pull out at your next movie night with friends. Slip cover is excellent."
"Wow I can’t believe I’d never heard of this, and by the same director who did Vivarium! Niamh Alger is amazing especially if you’ve seen her in another VinSyn title Censor, which is another fav of mine. The quality of the transfer and features and packaging on this are stellar as always and I highly recommend this to anyone who likes atmospheric weirdness."
"Locran Finnegan's Without Name is a difficult film to recommend but it's an eerie, disquieting experience for patient and adventurous viewers. Not a lot *happens* (and the runtime is a bit overlong) but it earns its spareness with a disturbing depiction of isolation and psychological collapse. This is one where multiple viewings pay dividends. There's a wealth of extras. Two tiny gripes: The audio commentary is a bit disappointing. They seem to get distracted by the feature and leave sizable stretches of dead air. Then there's the booklet; I tried to jump into the essay but the black text on dark green paper was a workout for my old eye. Still, the inclusion of Finnegan's excellent and disturbing short Foxes more than makes up for it. Another home run for Yellow Veil."
"Interesting entry in folk horror genre. The cinematography is impeccable, the framing and use of light is stunning in its bleakness. The acting is excellent, too. The story is deliberately abstract and strangely compelling. The score's soundstage is used to awesome effect. Definitely a film to watch in as dark a room as possible for maximum appreciation of its visuals and its subtlety. It does crawl along a bit, but that's perfectly appropriate for what all it's up to."
"WITHOUT NAME perfectly fits into the Yellow Veil Pictures catalogue of psychological Indie Horror thrillers with limited casts. It's the debut feature from Irish diretor Lorcan Finnegan, whose Hollywood film VIVARIUM with Jesse Eisenberg I really enjoyed. This 2016 was shot in Lorcan's home of Ireland and is a tense paranoia driven Horror drama about a man who is unhappy in his marriage, but also hates being alone. The mystery of the woods area he is sent out to measure slowly drives him mad. We don't know if there is actually something supernatural going on or if it's all in his imagination. The plot reminded me of all time favorites of mine like Polanski's THE TENANT or Brad Anderson's THE MACHINIST. The extras are okay, but nothing to write home about. The centerpiece is the audio commentary with Finnegan, which I did not have the time to listen to though yet. As always there is a great booklet included."
"Packaging - stellar. Beautiful slip, great transfer, solid find! The movie itself is interesting irish eco-horror, if a bit messy. I liked the visuals, the dreaminess, the editing was tight. Also really did enjoy not trying to over-explain as it went."
"Well, I enjoyed it. Bit of a dodgy, unsettling vibe throughout. Some would say it was too slow but I enjoyed the pacing. Great presentation, good extras, nice slip. Solid release (which I get sounds like a description of a bowel movement)."
"This was a decent movie, but a little bit of a let down at the same time. I must have been expecting far too much from it, because it just left me feeling depressed that I didn’t like it more than I had hoped I would. There was great atmosphere and photography, and I can’t blame the actors. It just seemed like nothing really happened? Maybe it will work better on second viewing. Love the slipcover!"
