Dragon Black

About This Movie

So, 'Dragon Black' is this curious little film from 2015 that seems to have slipped under most radar. The tone is dark, almost brooding at times, with an atmosphere that feels heavy and immersive. You can tell there’s an effort to build tension, but the pacing can be uneven, which some folks might find off-putting. The practical effects are pretty solid, giving it a gritty, raw feel that adds authenticity, though it’s not exactly groundbreaking. The performances range from earnest to a bit wooden, but I think that just adds to its charm in a way. It’s distinctive in its lack of clear direction and genre, making it a bit of a wild card in any collection. Definitely not your run-of-the-mill dragon flick, that’s for sure.

This film has a rather odd place in collector circles since it’s not widely released or discussed. There are only a few formats available, making it somewhat scarce, especially the DVD release. While it's not a hot item that everyone is hunting for, dedicated collectors appreciate its quirky nature and are gradually beginning to take notice.
