Hey everyone, it’s your boy back again with another movie deep dive. Today, we’re talking about films that give off the same vibe as “Enter the Void”. This movie, man, it really messed me up in the best way possible. It got me thinking, what other flicks out there can take you on a similar kind of trip? So, I rolled up my sleeves and got to work.
First off, I re-watched “Enter the Void” to really soak in those vibes again. It’s such a unique experience, right? Then, I started digging. I hit up all my usual movie forums, scrolled through endless lists, and even asked around my film buff friends. The goal was to find movies that weren’t just visually trippy but also had that same kind of mind-bending, soul-searching thing going on.
I made a huge list of potential movies and started watching them one by one. Some were okay, but they didn’t quite hit the mark. But a few really stood out. They had that same kind of experimental feel, pushing the boundaries of what a movie can be.
Here’s what I found out during my deep dive:
- “Antichrist”: Someone mentioned this one, and let me tell you, it’s intense. Just like “Enter the Void”, it’s not afraid to go to some really dark places.
- “The Holy Mountain”: This one’s a classic. It’s got that same surreal, dreamlike quality that I loved about “Enter the Void”.
- “Beyond the Black Rainbow”: Another movie brought up was this. It’s more on the slow-burn side, but the atmosphere is incredible. It felt like stepping into another dimension.
- “Mandy”: Another movie I saw mentioned was this. I gotta say I loved this too. Not as trippy, but still a very psychedelic journey.
But it wasn’t just about watching these movies. I also started reading up on what made “Enter the Void” so special. Turns out, the director, Gaspar No�, experimented with hallucinogens in his youth and used those experiences for the film’s visuals. He even tried ayahuasca while planning the film. Pretty wild, right?
So, after all that watching and researching, I put together a solid list of movies that I think fans of “Enter the Void” will appreciate. It’s all about that immersive, mind-altering experience. And let me tell you, there are some real gems out there. It takes time to find them, but that’s what we love to do right? Go down these rabbit holes. It’s what makes film great.
That’s it for today’s movie adventure. Hope you guys find this helpful. Catch you in the next one!
