Numb

In the past we believed that angels were supreme beings of benevolence. In the future, they will be mindless machines, created from the computer-scanned bodies of people so desperate for physical immortality they're willing to die to achieve it. They maintain a broken and failing civilization that is hopelessly addicted to a debilitating and ubiquitous narcotic known only as the "Drip".

It is in this world that Claire and her guide Miles, genetically modified to be immune to the "Drip" epidemic, venture. Miles possess a dangerous charisma which draws Claire to him and deeper into his corrupt realm of violence, sex and addiction.

Reviews

"A potent addition to the grand tradition of low-budget indie sci-fi such as 'THX-1138'" Robert Koehler, Variety

"'Numb' works quite well as it challenges us to decipher its many ideas of what it means to be alive" Erik Childress, Efilm Critic

"Taking a cue from George Lucas' THX 1138, and incorporating the style of Godard and the social commentary of Romero (Night of the Living Dead), director Michael Gibson has fashioned a haunting portrait of the near future." Erik Childress, Z Boneman

"Numb is one hell of a trippy movie that uses acting and the very way it was filmed to portray a vision of the future, as well as the vision of one woman desperately in search of something missing from her past." Michael Jones, Blog Critics Magazine
