A drag-race gone wrong causes a car full of young women to careen off a bridge and plunge into the murky waters below. Mary, the sole survivor, emerges from the mud in a daze. What happens next is a series of nightmarish occurrences, ghoulish apparitions, haunting organ songs and abandoned pavilions casting an unsettling spell in black and white. Carnival of Souls slowly pulls us into an alternate realm, a strange land that only exists in the second before and the second after death. Directed by Herk Harvey, whose previous work was limited to a variety of educational shorts (check out 1977’s Halloween Safety on YouTube), together with writer John Clifford, weave a moody, disturbing tale of one woman’s journey through madness; twirling endlessly through pure vibes. For fans of Repulsion, "Twin Peaks," and abandoned dance halls.
