Reflections of Evil
Damon Packard
2002 | USA | 138 min | Colour | Digital

"Damon Packard, Hollywood’s enfant terrible writes, directs and stars in Reflections of Evil, a film that is truly in a class of its own. Packard plays Bob, an obese sugar addicted, asthmatic watch-seller, struggling to breath in the stifling heat of Los Angeles. Bob is an entrepreneur who sells watches, yet Bob only ever makes enough to restock; bad business sense leads to rejection, which leads to frustration, which leads to hatred, which leads to expulsion of body fluids, hallucination, 1970’s Steven Spielberg and time travel, escalating into a finale that is uniquely Damon Packard. The legendary Tony Curtis narrates." – Liam Scully
