Desecration is a hidden gem of horror brought forth from the creative mind of Dante Tomaselli. While not easy to describe because of its unique approach in storytelling and guarenteed to be unlike anything you have ever seen before, Desecration is definitely worth seeking out, but more on that later.

Poor Bobby, first his mother passes on while he watches helplessly as a baby as he's held in the arms of his grandmother. As a teenager, Bobby "accidentally" kills a nun while operating a remote control airplane. I say "accidentally" beacuse there is an inventive forshadow just before the incidents take place to let us know that it's quite possible that fate is stepping in. From this point forward, all hell breaks loose, and the viewers head is taken for a "David Lynchian" spin. Desecration spends much of its remaining running time switching between nightmare and reality as the viewer learns that Bobby's mom may have some plans from beyond the grave to claw her way out of hell, and Bobby is the key. The film plays off as an extended hallucinatory nightmare sequence with more demonic nuns than one could ever dare to dream of.

Descration works because of many of its properly placed elements. There is a solid script and story, and a cast of solid actors to back it up. Tomaselli's visions are wholly original, and verge from the truly frightening (a pair of demonic scissors on a rampage) to the utterly bizarre. None of this ever feels forced as the story unfolds, and the viewer is just able to give in and go along for the ride. Kudos to the foley work as well, as the music and sound effects are top notch and only stand to enhance the experience (especially considering the obvious budgetary limitations).

Picture quality is outstanding all things considered. The image looks properly framed, and there is really no print damage to speak of. Colors are sharp and vibrant, once again more than one could have expected from such a low budget film. Simply put it looks great. As stated earlier sound is quite impressive in an effective surround mix. There was obviously a great deal of care and effort put into this production, and it shows.

Extras? What extras? Well that's not entirely true as there is a short film (Desecration) that runs about 3 minutes. It's not really clear, but I'm assuming this is part of the film they used to get funding. There really aren't any menus on the disc, pop it in and you come to the chapter stop page, that's about it folks. Image Entertainment could have given us a bit more, an audio commentary would have been truly fascinating.

Overall, a fine presentation of an original indie horror film. If you're looking for an inventive slice of horror, check out Desecration, I wasn't disappointed and I'll bet you won't be either. For more info on Desecration or Tomaselli's newest horror film HORROR, click here!
