The Darkside Ledger
This movie is a science-fiction paranoia exploration of those tender human sensibilities regarding alienation and isolation and ostracism that give rise to strange and fantastic fantasies about abduction and experimentation --- fantasies that could, in theory, border on some bizarre truth about a dark side of the psyche in our grand universe which could in fact include many kinds of intelligent species.
A young American man sees images of himself being experimented on by eerie aliens who have abducted him, and as his bewildered friends and peers in his typical American small town try to comfort him, we are invited to explore the sensitive connections between emotion and hell.
"Fire in the Sky" (1993), like Chris Carter's seminal science-fiction paranoia television series "The X-Files" (Fox TV), inspires us to draw incredible psyche maps of imagination explosion/hysteria.
Consider, for example, the following 'laundry list' of fantasy paranoia strings perhaps drawn from mysticism-darkness books such as the Necronomicon or from the Tales from the Darkside or Tales from the Crypt comic book series:
1. A man rapes a woman 1,000 times and she ironically begins to fall in love with him
(Conceptualization: the mystery of the flesh)
2. A molested boy grows up to become Jack the Ripper and writes in his diary, “The only reason I love to kill is because I am haunted simply by the brightness of blood,” and no one finds out about his abuse-motivation
(Conceptualization: the ironic economics of privacy in a world governed by principles of communication)
3. A Wall Street insider-trading thief discovers a dangerous scandal involving the smuggling of chemical weapons between Iran and Iraq, but he is powerless to relay the news
(Conceptualization: guilt by association complicates processes of disclosure)
4. A young man is hit by a car while riding a bike, and the killer is a woman who discovers she loves him but he’s already dead
(Conceptualization: the eerie presence of the Hellmouth)
5. An Algerian woman recruited in the freedom struggle has an affair and then commits suicide
(Conceptualization: free will is a debate tool but it could also be a spiritualism inspiration)
Is it any wonder that America, the world's premier hub of multi-cultural traffic (i.e., Chinatown, San Francisco), yields colorful pedestrianism-fantasy art avatars such as the fictional comic book super-vigilante the Green Hornet (DC Comics)?
