A classical musical conductor unravels into the abyss of insanity.
Gabriel's second feature manages to outdo its predecessor in terms of both scope and tone - SAINT BERNARD has far more in common with experimental classics like ERASERHEAD than the bizarro 70s/80s slasher fare of SKINNED DEEP.
Those expecting a coherent narrative (or the WTF slasher antics of SKINNED DEEP) will be disappointed, but if you allow yourself to get on the movie's wavelength, there is a lot to love - a sincere, surreal exploration of obsession and addiction, full of chaos and mind blowing practical effects.
