Product Description
As the light fades and the city goes to sleep, two forces emerge. They are invisible except for the power they exert over us in our sleep, battling for our souls through dreams. One force delivers hope and strength through good dreams; the other infuses the subconscious with desperation through nightmares. John and Emma, Father and Daughter are wrenched into this fantastical dream world battle, forced to fight for John's soul and to save Emma from an eternal nightmare.
Separate in their journey, they encounter unusual characters that exist only in their subconscious. Or do they? Ink is a high-concept visual thriller that weaves seamlessly between the conscious and the subconscious. Ink has been hailed as the new 'it' movie and compared to cult classics Brazil, Donnie Darko, The Matrix, Twelve Monkeys and Pan's Labyrinth.

This visually stunning quest for redemption is not only one of the more interesting independent films in recent memory but one of our favorite of the year. It confounds its origins to deliver a truly unforgettable experiences and deserves, no demands to finds an audience around the world. --Click Magazine
Absolutely everything about this movie works, at the bare minimum. At its best, Ink is a perfectly-metered poem, and speaks to the heart as such. It's light on horror very, very light but anyone who s ever really fallen into a movie, as horror fans especially tend to do when the movie s good, owes it to him- or herself to experience this movie --Fatally Yours
Ink's originality is in its story and its staging. Brilliant dialogue, both witty and honest, is enhanced by strong performances and skillful cinematography. Ink will surely warrant second and third viewings; but first, it needs the attention it deserves so that more people will have the chance to witness the early work of one of our next great filmmakers --Fangoria

Ink is not for everyone. But it is for an awful lot of people, and you're probably one of them. Made on a budget of $250K, you'll be in wonderment over what has been achieved. Yes there's a overly long latex nose, but even this has a purpose (cue the directors commentary...).
But lets not focus on that, as many of the other costumes, set-pieces and effects are staggering considering the aforementioned budget.
Not convinced? Well, after viewing you will be, as during the film you'll be captivated by its beauty, action and developing plot. What appears to be sometimes random silliness or strange events will all make sense at some point, especially the end. Thats if you're lucky (or clever?) enough to get it the 1st time around. I have seen it a number of times (approx 8) and only just given it a rest, and im not your average serial watcher.
I feel I should include a warning though, so here goes: If expendables was your top film of 2010, do not buy this, it probably won't be your cup of tea (or can of artificially flavoured fizzy drink). Action yes, but there is a brain to be engaged in this experience.
Because for the viewer, there are lessons to be learned in Ink, and what better class can one take than a bold, poetic, creative and very well acted 107 minutes of film. Lets not call this a movie, lets stick with film.
I know I have not really explained much about the storyline, but why bother? If you crave some plot information above some healthy risk then read another review, as frankly im tired of trailers showing me way too much these days.
Oh yeah, the soundtrack compliments too, its a perfect haunting fit.
So what you waiting for, this independent film deserves your money and time.
Are you still here, the buy button is to your north..

I bought Ink on one single recommendation from a stranger on a forum here on Amazon. I've never been so pleasantly surprised by a blind movie purchase in my life!
Ink is an independent film, not with an enormous budget, but it doesn't stop it from being an incredible film with gorgeous visuals. You can see how much work went into every single second of this film. This movie stands out among everything else I've seen in a long time. Absolutely unique. The acting was fantastic, especially the acting from the young girl Quinn Hunchar, playing the character Emma. The ideas were original, the characters interesting, and the plot was engaging. And the ending... prepare for one hell of an ending. And some of you will need to keep some tissues close... A description on the back of the package compares the movie to Brazil, Donnie Darko, The Matrix, Dark City, and Pan's Labyrinth. I would definitely group it in with those films, although it is not a ripoff of any of those films at all.
Quick synopsis: there is another world, a dream world where two sides are fighting to control our dreams. Some our bringing us pleasant dreams, and others, the incubi, are bringing us nightmares. A battle ensues over the soul of a little girl named Emma, trapped in their world while in a coma... and the deciding factor falls on two men: John in the waking world, Emma's father, and Ink, a rogue warrior in the dream world, fighting to rid himself of his scars and shame.
This movie is absolutely incredible, please do yourself a favour and check it out.

I admire this film, a massive massive amount. Every bone in my body wanted to like it. So I'll start with the positives. The biggest success is the film's antagonists. They really really are creepy, and beautifully designed - just wait until they take those glass panels away - and give the film a very promising, atmospheric start. Alas, it all goes downhill from then on. Firstly, the acting is painfully second rate, with a few good performances - unfortunately not from it's lead protagonist. The pacing is also awkward, moving so slow at points it becomes difficult to watch. But it's biggest failing is in it's over ambition. Now, it would be wrong to criticise a film for having a low budget, plenty of brilliant ones have been made of course. But Ink fails to realise it's limitations, for example, using jerky camerawork to cover up poorly coreographed fight scenes that are far too elaborate - short sharp scenes of more brutal, realistic violence would've been easier to shoot, and far more impactful, but these drag on far too long and the frenetic camera work means you have no idea what's going on. Furthermore, the film relies on CGI too much, CGI which it can't afford, so the results are very hokey, leaving the entire film feeling entirely unconvincing. It's a shame, because it's very imaginative, and despite moments of over-sentimentality, does actually carry some emotional depth. Give that writer/director a budget that can live up to his ambition, and you might just have ground-breaking sci-fi on your hands.
