Lesser Known Movies you must watch - 29

Coherence

Cast: No big star-cast to mention here, even budget of the movie is USD 50,000 but you are in for a treat

 

When I started writing this blog, I thought I will introduce you to those movies that must be watched not only because they didn’t get the sheer credit but also to give appreciations to some of the genius ideas that are not getting saleable even if they are presented so subtly. This is one of those movies which even though I have watched recently but have become a huge fan and will surely rate it amongst the top movies that I have seen. Now, before I jump further, please note that this movie is made with a mere budget of 50 K in the year 2013 which means you cannot expect too much of visual effect’s from this but when I tell you that this is truly one of the best presented science fiction thriller , I mean each and every word of it.

Coherence in English dictionary means quality of being logical and consistent which will be subtly presented in this move with the help of a fictional miller’s comet (Similar to Haley’s comet) that is passing over California with a group of Eight friends reunited after a long time to have dinner. Now, you guys would have to go through the concept of Schrodinger Cat which is a paradoxical experiment devised by Erwin Schrodinger in mid-19 century to understand a little bit of what will happen in the movie , although you can avoid it as the reference will be given in the movie as well. Now, coming back to the plot, as these friends have their dinner discussing about what’s going on within their lives a power cut occurs which starts unfolding things as the power cut occurs everywhere except one house that is two blocks down the street. One of the character Hugh whose brother is a scientist warned him to contact him immediately if any uncertain events happens during Comet passing by. But, due to power cut, no phones (they are broken due to the comet phenomenon), no internet and only one house at the end of the street having electricity , Hugh decide to take help of them so that he can call his brother story starts getting messy from here. Be prepared to find some untidy camera work as it’s a very low budget movie but the concept itself will keep you to the edge of your seat for full 85 minutes.

In the end I can say, you don’t need a big budget to present an idea that is strong an powerful and Hollywood really does that by bringing in such movies once in a while. Do watch this and share your reviews comments.
