| ♥♥♥♥♥ | An unsettling diamond in the rough. |
| "Effects" was way ahead of its time, as it prefigures such later films as "Videodrome" in both its self-reflexiveness and its use of the snuff-movie mythology. It's slow-moving through the first three quarters of its length, but stick with it and view it with patience: because of the slow pace, the narrative becomes increasingly unsettling and absorbing by very carefully modulated, almost imperceptible degrees; and the exciting and disorienting ending is given that much more punch as a result of this build-up. Inventive, original, and prescient, it's also rough around the edges and there are a few times you might wish to reach for the FF button. Don't.
