Under the Silver Lake (2018)

Walking down the barren streets of a quiet neighborhood in Los Angeles, a thick veil of mystery hangs in the hot humid air. Billboards with strange yet familiar messages and imagery dot the open skyline as though they were distant cousins of the palm trees that fill in the spaces in between. While business moguls settle in for the night in their multi million dollar homes, a dog killer is on the loose and no one has the slightest inkling who it might be. 

 

Much like the killer at large, there is something else afoot in the streets of Los Angeles. Something much more sinister – what are the odds that everything is connected? After the success of his 2014 thriller, It Follows, David Robert Mitchell returns to the cinematic landscape with 2018’s Under the Silver Lake.

 

The story follows Sam, a directionless 33 year old, who is fascinated with conspiracy theories, cryptic hidden messages in popular culture, and weighed down by his recent breakup. A neighbor who he takes interest in suddenly disappears one day, setting Sam up for a collision course with the countless mysteries that Silver Lake harbors. As always, thank you for listening, and we hope you join in on the discussion.
