If you've ever run across true evil you know it takes many forms, it can be a thing, but also a word, an action, an idea. It's overall characteristic though, is one of utter emptiness. The Graveyard at five sisters has completely captured that feel! Upon arrival, you quickly see through the murk that you are surrounded by a slew of new graves, complete with worn headstones and mounds of fresh dirt. The morose atmosphere is dark and foreboding with a dense forest of tall trees. The glow of the last evening light lets you see just enough to be disturbed, instantly you get the feeling of being lost in a nightmare. Nothing moves, there are no added effects to make this place eerie, instead the stillness and complete lack of life make it so. In the middle of the graveyard, a stoic gargoyle stands guard, strong and silent. Venture into one of the few tombs and you'll find a coffin or two, a lid slightly askew, suggesting vandals or the sudden escape of someone accidentally buried alive. Step inside the church, the largest building in the graveyard and for a moment the dark recedes and hope returns, for there is an angel that hangs above the alter! Than quickly this momentary light in the darkness disappears as the dark rapidly overwhelms the light once more.
The Graveyard opens into a large area where the dark vibe continues. Trendy shops encircle a delightfully creepy courtyard. Check out Heart Attack and the Slit Pee.
In the end The Graveyard is not a place you'll want to come to be introspective. It's also not a place where you'll want to sit and chat with your friends. This is a place locked into a particular moment in time after the event, but before the next act; after the body is delivered to the morgue, or after the child has grown cold in it's crib, but before it's mother finds it.
The Graveyard is truly an awful place.....,
Brilliant!
