A decade after an apocalyptic lab accident left the world permanently haunted by visible,though silent, ghosts, Goth sad sack (is there any other kind really…I’m joking; you know me and the clove cigarette crowd is tight) Roni (Bella Thorne) encounters a new specter, Brian (Thomas Elms), that imparts a dire message to “run” written on her bathroom mirror. Spoiler: she doesn’t; rather Roni decides to tell her teacher, Mr. Bittner (Dermot Mulroney) about the event, but although he is extremely knowledgeable in the beings that now walk among us, believes that she is spoutin’ some straight up bullshit. Thankfully every cinematic high school has an edgy loner just itching to accompany a hot chick into ball shriveling terror, and this case it’s brood-machine Kirk (Richard Harmon) who does the deed. Now our heroes are on a mission to find out Brian’s identity and figure out just what danger is waiting for Roni! To start things off on a positive note;

When we received the invitation to create a poster for Suspiria we were delighted. As avid fans of Dario Argento’s 1977 Suspiria, we knew this was an adventure we had to embark on. Once we had seen the film we realized it was wasn’t really a remake at all, it’s an altogether different experience, and gloriously exhilarating and disturbing in its own unique way.” La Boca Studio has stated. We decided to base our design around the ‘Volk’ dance performance which appears late in the movie. The dance is such a pivotal scene, full of all the right kinds of tension and energy. We set about creating the design as if it were a poster for Volk, almost so one could imagine the artwork appearing on a wall within the film

Pastor James (horror legend Bill Moseley) is the sole hold out on a plan to gentrify the city and therefore bring some wealth to the neighborhood where his ancient church stands.

So what’s good with The Church? Well for starters it has some fine performances from some horror legends such as the aforementioned Moseley, Lisa Wilcox, and Clint Howard turn in solid acting with what they are given. Also, the basic concept of the “anything but holy” goings-on inside of an ancient church is solid fright flick grist for the monstrous mill…in other words, that shit worked before, it works well, and it works here as well. Unfortunately, that’s where my good will towards this picture ends… On the negative
