While the initial shock of The Flicker's opening shot that exclaims, "Always have a physician on hand before screening" may give the viewer a sense of fear, one will not receive more than a headache. The best part of this "film", or whatever you want to call it, is the occasional hallucination one might conjure. But alas, the entire 25 minute "film" is merely a perfectly clear role that includes a rather unclear soundtrack that gives the film most of it's meaning(whether we're supposed to create one or whether it has one at all). Some people may believe this is avant-gardism at it's highest anarchical point, but I for one believe The Flicker is just a huge waste of precious film. Check it out if you're not epileptic or prone to migraines, but you'll probably turn it off within three minutes of pressing the play button (and no, it does not get better). I, to my misfortune, was unable to do this because I was forced to watch it in my film class. Watch at your own risk.
