Night Kaleidoscope

Synopsis

“Dreamlike, elusory, impressionistic. The film is not so much a drama as a sensory experience.” HollywoodInvestegator
“Night Kaleidoscope is without debate one of the most stunning films in Horror cinema. The way this production conveys horror defies artistry and validates this opinion.” Decay Mag
“In a glitched-out dreamlike urban backdrop, an investigator deals with killers that he thinks are not human. An ingenious film, it sets a default of reality-shifting fantasy–which, instead of diminishing, only heightens the intensity of up-close fleshy vampiric rituals.” Sam Vanivray, Amazon US
“There’s fab cinematography and a nice soundtrack. With there being more scene flashing and slow motion than dialogue, Night Kaleidoscope seems to focus on becoming a type of visual art than story share.” Hellnotes
“an authentically surreal, dream-like experience… that is disorienting and nightmarish in the best possible way.” SickFlix
“Night Kaleidoscope is a bizarre, psychedelic, artistic take on vampires” HorrorGeekLife
“There is a really unique and artistic feel to the film that is definitely accentuated by this. Some fantastic lighting and an extremely good synth soundtrack from Alec Cheer helps paint a really atmospheric picture” Midnight Horror Show

Scotland, 1982. The stars of Big Gold Dream had either split up or taken the Big Gold Road south to major label success in London. Glasgow was left with an 'indie label' void but the seeds sown in Big Gold Dream would lead to a new era of rebellion. Punk was reborn in the shape of a new type of independent music. No longer would bands look to tidy themselves up and sign to a major record label in the hope of appearing on Top of the Pops. Independent music in Scotland now meant 'No Compromise' and this is the story of those bands and the personalities involved.<br /> This new documentary from the creators of 'Big Gold Dream' tells the story of what happened next in the uncompromising world of Scottish indie music. The Vaselines, BMX Bandits, The Pastels, The Soup Dragons, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Primal Scream and Teenage Fanclub all appear. Bursting with new interviews, rare archive, untold stories along with some of the most amazingly difficult, scratchy, noisy, genius pop music ever given to the world. This is Teenage Superstars and you need to watch it
