The Three Trials poster

Released in 2006, The Three Trials is a comedy, fantasy, crime and horror film directed by Randy Greif, running about 100 minutes. “Adventures in psychotica” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Catherine, a nun with a unique form of narcolepsy, attempts to lose herself in the worlds of religion, adolescent fantasy, and finally masochistic devotion to a man. Her husband, a plastic surgeon, has evolved from a yeti-like creature to accommodate her masochism with increasingly extreme and bizarre rituals. With an experimental and ground-breaking format, The Three Trials incorporates surreal narrative, music video, and abstract imagery. The viewer is left to interpret what is real, what is dream, and what is false narrative in this feverish, pitch-black comedy with a smorgasbord of sexual fetishes.

Who’s in it. The Three Trials stars Molinee Green as Catherine, Max Herholz as Beast (as Maximilien Herholz), Michael Q. Schmidt as Father, Cabaret MC, Fertility Demon and Osa Wallander as Julia, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 1.0/10, The Three Trials has proved divisive with audiences.
