While the acting isn't anything to scoff over (It's not easy pretending to be alone staring into a mirror while a camera is on you) - I have no idea who Sean is, what he does or did, or even why he's in the situation we find him in. I'm not familiar with Hickson but I want to guess his character is far removed from himself. The Alchemist Cookbook seeks to rely on the performance of a single actor, that being Ty Hickson.

There are things in reality that one does not need an imagination to view as horrific - But the translation of mythology to realism eludes many people and (award-winner or not) Joel Potrykus is one of them. The problem is Potrykus' attempt to connect it with the real world. He seems to be motivated by the horror genre which I would love to see in most writers. This is the first work I've watched from Joel Potrykus. I assumed this film could be an ad-lib or improvised performance, but I'm certain that isn't true. The dialogue in The Alchemist's Cookbook gave me time to check my Twitter account. A good dialogue (for example from Toni Morrison to Quentin Tarantino) will capture the audience an hold them for hours without blinking. After attempts with elemental science, he quickly turns to alchemaic magic and summons the devil Belial who takes possession of the man.ĭialogue is important to me - especially when scenery is limited.
THE ALCHEMIST COOKBOOK (2016) HOW TO
You don't believe me go ahead watch it and just remember I told you so.Īn anxiety ridden man retreats to the woods with his cat in hopes of discovering how to turn any metal into gold. Forget what the clown critics say this one sorry to say is not a keeper. Of course it's supposed to be a mystery to figure out but there is nothing to get out of it and at the point where they maybe could of explained a lot they don't and it will leave you frustrated that you sat there and watched basically nothing for a hour and a half. I also think the director & Writer of this film either under compensated for creating a good story or they were trying to be too artsy or psychological that the story doesn't progress well leaving you wondering what was the point of his mindset. But even though he's all alone in the middle of the woods it's just not creepy or scary at all.
THE ALCHEMIST COOKBOOK (2016) MOVIE
This movie has literally only 2 people in the entire film but that's not my gripe and neither is the acting although it wasn't great a little too dramatic in some scenes with facial expressions that were not believable and dialogue at times leaves you wondering why is he saying this. The Alchemist Cookbook has been getting some rave reviews so I decided to check it out since I am a fan of Great horror movies.
