Spoiler-Free Reviews: FAILURE! and THE BLUE ROSE (Pigeon Shrine FrightFest)

FAILURE! (2023) Writer/director Alex Kahuam’s splendidly crafted one-take feature about the highly stressful day of a second-generation plastics factory owner James (Ted Raimi in an excellent performance) trying to come to grips with possibly having to sell his family business because of overwhelming debt and his daughter’s upcoming high-end marriage. James is a fast talker, and he’ll need to use that talent to the best of his abilities as he is visited by a wedding fitting party, some men as desperate for money as he is, and other characters ranging from the sympathetic to the deadly. Erenesto Lomeli’s crackerjack cinematography keeps viewers up close and personal with the proceedings, and the smooth one-take approach is bolstered by Kahuam’s razor-sharp dialogue. Raimi puts on a veritable acting clinic as his character is dealt one problem after another. A sizable supporting cast adds to the tension, which is peppered with occasional dark humor. Failure! is a thriller, but depending on your interpretation

Trailer For Award-Winning Horror ‘Black Mold’ Spreads Fear

The official trailer for the horror film Black Mold has been released, and it will grow on you. Featuring elements of psychological horror, the urban exploration film took home several awards from film festivals, including the award for “Best Indie Feature” at PanicFest as well as “Best Actress” for Agnes Albright’s portrait of a photographer trying to cope with her past mistakes. Director John Pata‘s Black Mold introduces a tale filled with fear and internal struggle. As the story unfolds, it becomes evident the neglected facility harbors darker secrets that begin to bubble to the surface. In the film, “while exploring a decrepit and abandoned facility, an auspicious photographer faces off against her traumatic past.” Andrew Bailes, Jeremy Holm, and Caito Aase also star in this dark and exciting film written and directed by John Pata (Fear Haus, Dead Weight). Black Mold will spread later this year from Raven Banner. In the meantime, check out the trailer.

Spoiler-Free Shorts Reviews: PAREIDOLIA and RAIN, RAIN, GO AWAY (Pigeon Shrine FrightFest)

PAREIDOLIA (2023) Director Aaron Truss’s shock short Pareidolia — a word meaning the phenomenon of our minds attempting to make meaningful images out of patterns or objects when one does not exist, such as seeing a cloud in the shape of a sheep — is a fantastic work boasting top-notch production values, a cast featuring some familiar genre-film favorites, and an intriguing story that is ripe for being made into a full-length feature. Lecturer Sinead Chambers (genre legend Diane Franklin of Amityville II: The Possession [1982], Waking Nightmare [2023], and about 50 other acting credits) has begun experiencing pareidolia in increasingly disturbing ways, which she discusses with her friend Jean Clark (Carolyn Pickles of The Yellow Wallpaper [1989]), while priest Father Cavanagh (Graham Cole) makes a shocking discovery at a mortuary involving a very peculiar demise. Aaron Truss, working from a screenplay by Aiden Truss, invests Pareidolia with an eldritch atmosphere, a fast-paced approach, and a gripping dash of mystery.
