What do you get when you combine creepy hospitals, freakish mimes and one long take? This week’s installment of World of Death, of course! Sit back, relax and, out of respect for others, keep quiet!
Opening with what feels like an entrance into an eerie dreamscape, QUIET TIME uses a first-person perspective to put the viewer literally in the shoes of our main protagonist. The man wheels himself around the starch corridors of Floor 13 while encountering a series of bizarre and unsettling vignettes acted out by stoic figures doused with face paint.
The first person perspective is incredibly engrossing and it doesn’t take long before you start to feel the atmosphere seep into you. Much like an amusement ride or house of horrors, the unrelenting forward momentum of the camera invokes an intensity about what might be around the next bend. However, filmmaker Noah Levine exercises restraint and instead lets the atmosphere carry the film to its surreal conclusion.
The sound design and score only add to the dread with the wheelchair screeching at every turn and the orchestral composition echoing through the bare walls.
Although Quiet Time might not make you jump out of your seat or cringe in pain, you may find yourself going to bed with the odd fear of waking up on your very own Floor 13…
