Watch Mysteria

Mysteria is a 2011 mystery thriller film, directed by Swiss-Egyptian filmmaker Lucius C. Kuert. The film stars Robert Miano, Danny Glover, Martin Landau, Billy Zane, Michael Rooker, Peter Mark Richman, and Meadow Williams. The story is set in the fictitious town of Mysteria, where a series of murders start to occur. Each murder is associated with a famous person from history, and the clues left behind are all connected to the victim's life or work. The police are unable to solve these unique cases, and the killer remains at large.

The film begins with the discovery of the first victim, Albert Einstein (played by Peter Mark Richman), who was killed in his home with an axe blow to the head. The film then introduces the protagonists: a private investigator named Don Caputo (Robert Miano) and a university professor named David (Danny Glover). They are both intrigued by the murders and start to investigate on their own.

As the investigation progresses, more famous people are killed, including Isaac Newton and John F. Kennedy. The clues left behind by the killer are too complex for the police to decipher, and Don and David are the only ones who can make sense of them. They soon discover that all the victims have something in common. They all have connections to a secret society that dates back to the Renaissance, which has been manipulating history for centuries.

The secret society is trying to uncover a hidden truth, but the people they have killed were the only ones who knew the secret. Don and David finally get to the bottom of the mystery and reveal the truth about the secret society, but not without risks to their own lives.

The film has a slow buildup and relies heavily on character development. The performances by the actors, especially Robert Miano and Danny Glover, are commendable. The film has a dark, ominous feel throughout most of the scenes, and a sense of dread that keeps the viewers hooked.

Mysteria is not your typical murder mystery thriller. It has several intricate subplots and a complex storyline that requires attention to detail. The film feels more like a detective novel than a traditional movie thriller. However, the film's ambiguity and complexity might not appeal to viewers who prefer straightforward, fast-paced stories.

The cinematography is another strong point in the film. The camera work and lighting create an eerie atmosphere, and the use of various camera angles adds to the suspense. The editing is also impressive, with smooth transitions between scenes and the effective use of flashbacks.

Overall, Mysteria is a well-made, intellectually challenging mystery film that is not meant for everyone. The film rewards viewers who are willing to take their time to understand the subplots and appreciate the intricacies of the storyline. The film's talented cast and subtle directing make it an excellent mystery thriller.

Mysteria is a 2011 mystery with a runtime of 1 hour and 30 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 3.9.
