I enjoyed this movie thoroughly. It sets its hook early (pun intended) and kept me on the edge of my seat the entire way through. The effects were good and the storytelling well handled. It may help to be a fan of HP Lovecraft and his story's of unknown forces and overwhelming dread though.

20 October 2017. This weird, creepy movie actually has a heart somewhere in it. It is unbalanced, hallucinogenic, and deliciously icky. It is so different in its presentation from other movies that it stands out as a contender for its David Lynch variation. It's actually not so much about the oddity of its characters so much as how the story effects the characters in it, or more specifically how an old rotting occult-like book effects all those that read it. The book itself descriptively soiled and repulsive.

In some ways Residue, seems to harbor some residual elements from the occult/horror version of The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984) using some of the imagery from Hellraiser (1987). This contemporary film noir with voice-over is spooky, strange, and unpredictable yet there is a odd sort of fluid progression in both the storyline, flashbacks, flash forwards in this engaging and mysterious thriller about a down and out detective who after finishing up a not completely successful job is tempted with $10,000 to deliver a package to his tenth person who he was supposed he was to get some dirt on but was unable to. From there the plot goes apparently haywire and bonkers in a delightfully creepy way.

The end of the movie, one is left with the satisfaction of a good night's sleep.

So we have 2 hours of bad CGI and FX in a story you don't really care about. I'll probably forget I saw this film in about a week.
