Dante 01 is a maximum-security penitentiary located at the edge of the galaxy. Upon arriving at Dante 01 for psychiatric evaluation, the sole survivor of a horrifying alien encounter finds himself in the middle of a battle to harness his strange new powers. But the volatile force that now dwells within Saint Georges is greater than anyone realizes, and as it begins to infect both his jailers and fellow inmates alike the entire facility is soon swallowed up in violent rebellion. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    This film is from the 2008 Screamfest Festival. Not as good as some of the other movies show at this festival, matter of fact it was way out there. Its put out by Dimension Extreme, so I knew I was in for something wild. About a prison in space where a new inmate is sent with wha... read moret appears to be healing powers and can bring the dead back to life. Nothing scary about this one more in line with sci fi. 3 1/2 stars

    A very strange mixture of sci-fi and thriller with some religious allegory thrown in. Some of it doesn't make any sense (to me) but so much of it does and I enjoyed the trademark look that Caro brings over from previous efforts that he made with co-director Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Al... read moreot apparently are turned off by it's vagueness and religious overtones but I wasn't one of them and look forward to seeing it again to determine if I can possibly understand it any better.

    Marc Caro made some amazing films when paired with Jean-Pierre Jeunet. This is his first film in 10 years and it's a huge disappointment. What starts off as an intriguing idea soon spirals into madness, cheapness and poor film making. The religious symbolism soon becomes a mallet... read more which is smacked over our heads. The nice set design soon loses it's appeal. Overall Event Horizon and Alien 3 have dealt with similar themes in a much more sophisticated manner. Many things go unexplained and other plot points are utterly ridiculous. Finally the ending has a few shots played continuously on a loop, getting faster and faster, for around 3 minutes. It's bearable, but not essential.

    -Interesting visuals.
    -WTF is going on?
    -It's too bad the investors backed out and killed the finale of this film.
    -Fantastic sets.

Dante 01 isn't science fiction, it's just allegory with technology. The symbols are all on the surface... Full Review

If you like your SF challenging, bleak and unapologetically theosophical, Dante 01 offers a vision of hell that you may well find heavenly. Full Review
