4 different stories told by four different director´s where each story have a connection with each other, especially on a subject that may be sensitive for some.
Before i watched Immortal i didn´t read about this film at all to know as little as possible. I personally love to know as little as possible for certain films and i felt that Immortal would be perfect to visit. This is an anthology film with 4 different stories and each story have something important to say, especially the subject of immortality. What if you suddenly found out that you can not die? How would you react? How would you deal with this if you discovered you can not die as an ordinary human being? There are several questions i think most of us would think about regarding if we found ourselves in this situation. But there are some other details as well in each story that´s connected to immortality. For example in the third story ( and my personal favourite of the 4 stories we are presented with ) called Ted and Mary and this is where legendary actor Tony Todd really give a heart breaking performance as the husband Ted taking care of his cancer sick wife Mary ( played powerful by actress Robin Bartlett. One of the reasons why this segment touched me personally is because i lost my grandfather in cancer and i feel this segment really captured how heavy it can be emotionally seeing your partner ( or family member ) dying. I have to be honest and say that this might be one of the best acting performances i have seen Tony Todd do in his career. It feels honest, realistic and i am pretty sure a lot of people can feel a connection to his character if you have someone you love struggling with cancer. The first segment Chelsea surprised me with an unexpected twist between the main character Chelsea ( played by actress Linday Mushett ) and cult film Trick r´ Treat actor Dylan Baker as her teacher Mr Shagis. I do appreciate the acting between both of these characters and how the plot of this segment is constructed. This is an anthology thriller that will make you think about life in general, and this film may also make you think about the things that really matters in life instead of material things or money. Directors Tom Colley, Jon Dabach, Danny Isaacs and Rob Margolies have all directed interesting stories that all look great as well from a technical perspective. Immortal is a film you should see if you want to experience a film that´s well told and have some very important things to say.
