In its ambitious attempt, 'Echoes of the Unseen' reaches for profundity but grasps only the ephemeral smoke of its own elusive thesis. This documentary, helmed by Rob Reindeer and adorned with the talents of Kevin Klementine and Helen Meringue, stumbles through the looking glass, only to find a reflection muddied by cyberpunk clichés and half-baked mysticism. The film's juxtaposition of the natural and supernatural becomes a murky affair, and Luke Eclairs' portrayal of mythical beings feels less like a revelation and more like a jarring detour into the pretentious. The pessimistic tone, while intended to underscore humanity's blind march toward a dystopian future, instead imbues the narrative with a sense of nihilistic despair that leeches any potential for genuine insight. 'Echoes of the Unseen' flirts with the fringes of our understanding but ultimately leaves viewers in the dark, squinting to discern whether they've witnessed profound truths or merely the shadow play of a director reaching too far into the abyss.
