I highly recommend that you watch the 1945 horror film Dead of Knight. It has a creepy circular plot device. Architect Walter Craig arrives at a mansion and greets several guests. Each guest tells a story about nightmares. Craig remembers each person from his own nightmares, even though he has never met them before. Craig strangles one of the guests, realizes he’s having a nightmare, and wakes up. Then, he goes to an appointment and arrives at the mansion seen at the beginning. The plot device of this film has a similar narrative structure to the plot of Black Science.
I’m a big fan of writer Rick Remender. So, spoilers ahead for this story, Black Science, will be kept to a minimum. It is an underrated and underappreciated 2013 science fiction epic that more people should know about.
