Bliss (2019)

Bliss is an interesting, unique indie horror movie. It starts off somewhat slow and tedious, takes a turn and starts to show glimpses of horror and then erupts into a psychedelic blood-soaked ending that kinda leaves you stunned, wondering what you just witnessed. The majority of Bliss' short runtime of an hour fifteen is pretty much just non-stop drugs, partying, sex and F-bomb's being dropped every third word. It's a lot like The Wolf of Wall Street but with vampires instead of stock brokers. It's also somewhat similar to The Devil's Candy in that a struggling artist gets some supernatural help to finish an overdue commissioned painting, while heavy metal blasts in the background. The overall drug induced color saturated fever dream style is similar to Mandy. Of course, referencing similarities to other movies isn't really fair since Bliss is more of an experience than anything else. The Devil's Candy was more about family than possession and Mandy was more about vengeance than fever dreams. Bliss is more about the wild ride into madness and bloodlust than art or meeting commission deadlines.
