The Deaths of Ian Stone


The synopsis on Netflix reads "In this byzantine psychological thriller directed by Dario Piana, working stiff Ian Stone (Mike Vogel) finds himself trapped in a bizarre reality: Every day he dies a horrific death at the hands of a killer, only to be resurrected and murdered again. Can Ian get to the bottom of the mystery and break the recurring cycle of death and rebirth?"
My theory is whomever wrote that synopsis had been waiting patiently for years for the opportunity to use "byzantine" in a sentence.
Another of the After Dark series, this one just didn't cut it for me. At first it seemed promising, but then the story just got messy. Not to mention, I swear the main character had an accent in the beginning of the movie and lost it later on. What the hell? Nice effects though.
