Cruel & Unusual (2014)

Edgar finds himself in a kind of group therapy afterlife for people who killed either themselves or family members. The therapy consists of sharing the story AA style and reliving the act. The problem is, he’s pretty sure he shouldn’t be there.

There’s a lot to like about this movie -- it’s definitely original and when it gets to where it’s going, it’s quite clever. But the journey was problematic for a couple of reasons: the “what the hell is happening” vibe was more annoying than stimulating and the lead character wasn’t easy to like.
