6/10
CONFUSED BY ENDING

Warning: Spoilers
Mysteria is a weird noir film that was a bit hard to follow. Danny Glover plays a police detective and the story is told as a flashback as Glover investigates a murder. Robert Miano plays a washed up Hollywood script writer who spends his time drinking and living in a cheap hotel. He has a deadline to meet on a screenplay, has used up all of his advances, hasn't started writing, and the rent is due. A young college girl named Lavina (Meadow Williams) takes an interest in his writing, and becomes the only person he can trust with his script.

While in a drunken stupor, a strange woman with a hollow here-after voice appears to him in a deserted bar and tells him to write about what happens to him, that it would become a great script. There is also a senator(Peter Mark Richman) involved who wants the script.

The acting was good, but the ending didn't give me closure as I must not of been paying close attention during the film trying to assess the details. I was as confused at the end as I was at the beginning. If you like confusing noir dramas with not much action, check it out.

No sex or nudity.
