“fence hole”
The new Joaquin del Paso moral tales that resonate, a group of teenagers master masculinity at a special summer camp in rural Mexico.of true believer counselor They’re dedicated to raising their boys to be Christian tough guys, but if that means turning a blind eye to kids bullying potentially gay kids, so be it. .
It’s not that men aren’t watching their teens closely. Because I’m watching through binoculars as they run around shirtless. When campers discover a hole in the fence that separates them from the poor town outside, and one of the boys goes missing, it’s the Lord of the Flies’ evil forces—not supernatural. Anthropomorphic–getting moving–style influences.
Thanks to a script by Del Paso and Lucy Paulak, it’s an emotionally gripping, formally icy sickening kind of horror that does brutal deeds. Consider, for example, a scene in which two of the teens feel attraction budding, the crazy lessons about masculinity at camp disappear for a few seconds, and kindness takes their place. Their bliss does not last long. Because it gets in the way of this skin-crawling cinematic expedition that denounces toxic masculinity, religious radicalism, class and racial rights.
Animated horror movies for grown-ups are rare these days, so I’m excited to shout Hallelujah to this super funny and silly horror comedy. from Matthew Maiellaro, co-creator of Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
The stage of the story is the world of “Pasta Demic” where gluten is prohibited. Billionaire pasta maker Alfred Manicotti (Dana Snyder) seeks out hidden gluten reserves after being disqualified from his Global Pasta Championship for using bootleg gluten. However, when he and security guard Al Dente Bob (William Sanderson) accidentally fall into a container of toxic substances, they turn into pasta monsters, and Alfredo summons the Bow Tie Demon. gain ability. Drunk on power and blind to the needs of his spoiled daughter Emma (Lauren Holt), Alfred sets out to build a gluten-ruled New Dollar World Order.
This paragraph only scratches the surface of the cuckoo lesson in this witty, noisy animated (and free!) movie. Snyder and Sanderson have great comical timing, and their performances elevate toilet humor to a clever level. I’m sorry, but I’m not sorry. This movie will make you smile.
“Hopewell Haunting”
Newt (Timothy Morton) and his wife Olly (Audra Todd) show up at a small church in 1930s Kentucky to congratulate grumpy old clergyman James (Ted Ferguson) on their new home. I ask you to A black spirit lives here. James reluctantly agrees, but on his first attempt all he finds is a dilapidated house and a dead raccoon. However, when James returns, he is confronted by an evil presence, leaving him wondering who the real monster in the house is.
If you want haunted house mayhem, check out The Boogeyman. This movie walks in the opposite direction. Writer-director Dane Sears presents a tender yet chilling fable of the consequences of unexamined grief and loss. He prides himself on keeping the camera still for long periods of time, even if the actors are pitched too high or their voices too low to get them to do their thing in the dark. Some horror fans may find this movie too scary, but I enjoyed its simplicity. The real star is the rural landscape of Bourbon County, Kentucky. Where Sears grew up and where he filmed parts of the film.
“Malm”
Nisei rookie police officer Jessica (Jessica Sura) murdered herself and several colleagues a year ago after helping her father rescue three cultists captured by police. I asked him to work the night shift. A Manson-like leader named John Malm (Chaney Morrow). As Jessica roams the dark corridors, keeping an eye on the deranged man she’s locked up in jail, she realizes she’s not alone where Malm’s evil paranormal spells might be on her. notice.
According to production notes, Anthony DiBlas’ film “Last Shift” (2014), his smaller, shoddy (and better for me) film. This version was a similar, equally intense heat dream that reminded us of the terrifying mystery of where we are. “void” It looks great, too, thanks to Sean McDaniel’s menacing cinematography. Russell FXgorgeous makeup effect. Hats off to genre-ambitious Dibrushes and their collaborator Scott Poiry. They offer cultism, occultism, monsters, ghosts, comedy, sci-fi, and family drama. I was full by the end of the movie, but horror fans with more maximalist tastes will be satisfied.
“Creepy Pasta”
creepy pastaFor those unfamiliar with the term, it refers to an online horror story set in a spooky nightmare world. Some go viral, like Momo and Slender Man.
This delightful anthology is a compilation of ten creepy pasta fiction books by eight directors, folded into a framing device about a man who finds a mysterious USB drive in a haunted house. The films vary in sophistication, scares, and budgets, but are generally creepy and all short, sometimes just a few minutes long. “V/H/S” Franchise.
my favorite is tony morales “Beck” An eerie meditation on mortality. Filmed in bluish black and white (told in Spanish), it tells the story of an elderly woman who wanders around the house with distorted music playing from her record player and a filthy CPAP mask covering her mouth. “Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf?” I don’t need to tell her she shouldn’t be afraid of wolves.
