Shake It Up Just Like Bad Medicine
There’s nothing wrong with big ambitions, but aiming high means you can easily trip over your own feet. An indie production with delusions of big-budget blockbuster grandeur, Past Cure reaches for the stars and barely manages to get off the ground.
It certainly takes itself very seriously, with huge ‘cinematic’ borders just like The Evil Within and a brooding, self-obsessed lead character who looks like the guy from Heavy Rain battling a five-day bout of constipation. There are dream sequences filled with creepy mannequins, a backstory about sinister experiments, psychic powers, false awakenings, black-suited villains and a sanity meter that supposedly tracks our grimacing, bunged-up hero’s diminishing grip on reality.
Who cares?
