DVD Review: Eden Log: Clovis Cornillac, Franck Vestiel: Movies & TV
Product Description
A man regains consciousness at the bottom of a cave, with no concept of how he arrived there, nor any idea who the dead man is at his side. Only one thing is certain - he has to escape the menacing creature that s pursuing him. His journey back to the surface takes him through a cemetery - like world that’s been abandoned by a mysterious organization called Eden Log.
Great flick,

Eden Log is the type of movie you’ll either LOVE or totally HATE. I fell on the love side of it. A lot of cinema today has the same premise in every film, and they basically candy coat it for a slightly different spin. Eden Log was refreshingly original. The film plays out like an old survival horror video game, where you aren’t entirely sure whats’ going on, but you slowly piece it together with the main character. I won’t put in any spoilers, but I will say that this film is very unique, and I am now interested in seeing more of Franck Vestiel’s work.
Interesting filming, a tough watch, decent Blu,

As an overall package, Magnet gets some props for taking a chance on making a BD for this unknown film. Splinter and Chocolate came across better, but I would say give this French sci-fi a chance.
The first fifteen minutes follow a man awakening with amnesia buried deep in a cavern. We follow this in almost a first person way - as he trudges through the dark depths, all whilst being followed by some nasty mutant critters. As the story “progresses”, we discover (with him) that there is a vast network of plant life managed by a group called Eden Log. Honestly, for as vast as this film tried to be, figuring out the rest is up to you.
The picture quality is bland, but if you can get past the first eight minutes of that damn light/camera blinking sequence, it gets a little better. Absolutely no color whatsoever in the entire film. There is one shot of green, but it is brief. The clarity hardly gets tested as there is little scope to the shots. The DTS is awesome though. The cavern sounds, creature throttlings, and echoes were all mixed excellently. Makes the home theater sound like a cave.
No special features to speak of, but the sound is what gives this an extra star. A sign of any good film is the debate that ensues from people trying to figure it out, and there appears to be quite a few discussions. If you are looking for simple sci-fi, this is not it. If you want something that is easy to watch visually, definitely skip this one, otherwise I think you might get a decent representation from this young crew.
