Movie Review: Zebra Girl (A Night of Horror International Film Festival)

Movie Review: Zebra Girl (A Night of Horror International Film Festival)

U.K. mystery thriller Zebra Girl (2021) is rich with slowly unfolding shocks and surprises, and is the kind of film that is difficult to discuss much in a review for concern of giving too much away for future viewers. Director Stephanie Zari’s chilling film is ultimately a character study of a highly troubled woman dealing with the emotional and psychological aftermath of having gone through horrifying events when she was younger, and how it affects her as an adult. Catherine (Sarah Roy) and English professor Dan (Tom Cullen) meet online and then in-person for a first date, during which she makes a startling confession and then asks Dan to do the same. Hers is far darker than his, but she later finds out that he was hiding a secret from her worse than the one he had originally told her. After they marry and she becomes pregnant, Dan’s secret threatens to drive Catherine to drastic measures. She calls her estranged

Movie Review: The Accursed

Movie Review: The Accursed

The Accursed (2022) looks great and boasts a fine directorial effort from Kevin Lewis (Willy’s Wonderland, 2021) and good performances, but unfortunately offers nothing new storywise for seasoned or even casual horror-film viewers. Mary Lynn (Alexis Knapp) and her daughter Sadie turn the supernatural tables on neighborhood witch Ms. Ambrose (Meg Foster). Months later, smalltown escapee Elly (Sarah Grey) returns to her family home because of her mother’s passing. She hopes to sell the house and leave quickly, with her friend Beth (Sarah Dumont) helping out. Elly can’t leave town as soon as she would like, though, and takes a job offered a job by a brusque woman named Alma (Mena Suvari) caring for a catatonic elderly woman who lives in a rural cabin — no surprise, it’s Ms. Ambrose. The usual haunted house/demonic possession tropes occur, yet still Elly remains at the cabin, even after a backstory exposition dump by the returning Mary Lynn. Lewis does well at the
