My week…
Wither—Swedish remake of the Evil Dead. Saw the original, the recent remake and now this one. Of the three, I still think the original has the edge, just because of the tree scene.
Devil’s Pass—I kinda liked this movie because I think the ending actually delivered, which is rare in found footage.
Cannibal-- Disgusting and absolutely depraved. I needed brain bleach after this one. It’s based on Armin Meiwes cannibal case. There is no logical reason this film had to be made. It’s as sensationalistic and exploitive as it gets. Bad, bad movie.
Happy House—Didn’t really get this one. Lots of inside jokes only veterans of the horror genre would get, but it was more like stating the obvious than being insightful. Maybe someone else had a better experience with this film?
Toad Road—I was reminded of Alyce Kills, if only because both films use illicit drugs as gateways to life-changing/horrific/hallucinatory experiences. The main characters were too annoying for me to actually sympathize with. At least Alyce was a functional person before she fell down the rabbit hole.
And not technically horror, but I managed to see “Catching Fire” in the theaters last weekend. I’m a huge fan of the books and Jennifer Lawrence in general, so I really enjoyed the film.
