Fabled isn't a horror film in the traditional sense. The story progresses through a series of images and sound used to convey Joe's rapidly declining mental state instead of the typical vapid yammer we normally get. Not to take anything away from the actors or anything but the best things about this film were the excellent cinematography and sound production. Without them we might have been bogged down with needless exposition. Thankfully we aren't. I will warn some of you ahead of time that some sub-plots in this film are left incomplete. Whether that's due to janky scripting or psychotic genius is hard to say but it does keep you on your toes and forces you to make conclusions on your own.

This film isn't scary nor is it the kind of entertainment that will satisfy a crew of rowdy drunkards but it is visually exciting and thought-provoking; a classy indie effort. In my opinion this flick simply wouldn't have been what is was though with Desmond Askew as Joseph Fable so major props go to the casting crew and Askew himself for bringing the character to life.

I rented this one expecting alot since it had all the film festival labels on the cover. But once again ,that doesn't mean anything these days. The story was somewhat interesting but fell short half way through. The one thing I can say is that there is an awsome fable that is told in the beginning of some scenes ,giving a continuity with the movie I guess. That story was awsome. That fable is worth checking this movie out. But that's about it.
