Shorts Reviews: EYESTRING and THE MUNDANES (SXSW)
Eyestring If eye trauma gives you the heebie jeebies, director Javier Devitt’s short horror film Eyestring is certain to press a few buttons. There’s no Un Chien Andalou-level of sudden shock; rather, Eyestring deals more with lingering, building psychological and body horror. Alena Chinault, who cowrote the screenplay with Devitt, stars as Veronica, a young woman who finds a hair growing out of one of her tear ducts one day. The mental health phone service she uses to discuss her obsessive compulsive disorder is of no help in her new situation, and matters escalate as attempts to cut the hair do anything but solve the problem. Could an alternative eye treatment clinic be of help? Devitt and Chinault have crafted a gripping, thought-provoking slice of fear-fare cinema that addresses mental health care while delivering a chilling story. Chinault’s fine performance and Devitt’s solid work at the helm lead toward a jaw-dropping final shot. The Mundanes Meet the Mundanes, a suburban

Movie Review: ‘Cocaine Bear’ Snorts Its Way Into Our Hearts
What’s the movie everyone is talking about? That would be actress-turned-director Elizabeth Banks’ Cocaine Bear, based on a true story (kind of). The movie finds an oddball group of cops, criminals, tourists, and teens converging in a Georgia forest where a 500-pound predator has ingested a staggering amount of cocaine and gone on a coke-fueled rampage for more blow … and blood. The movie has a pretty impressive cast, including Keri Russell, Alden Ehrenreich, O’Shea Jackson Jr., and Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and Ray Liotta in his last role (rest in peace). This action-packed insane flick was written by Jimmy Warden (The Babysitter: Killer Queen), and let me tell you, it’s bloody awesome! The movie kicks off with a coked-up drug smuggler throwing kilo after kilo off a plane. Then we find out a black bear is getting high off the stash that now litters the forest, and all hell breaks loose. The bear takes a teen; somehow, she is unhurt,

Movie Review: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) – Dark Sky Films 4K
For those that have previously missed out on one of the greatest fright flicks ever created: After a series of grizzly news accounts, and an opening narration courtesy of Night Court‘s John Larroquette, set the scene we are introduced to a group of groovy teens including Sally Hardesty ( Marilyn Burns) and her far less groovy, uber-annoying, wheel-chair bound brother Franklin (Paul A. Partain), who are on a road trip across Texas. Along the way the gang picks up a deranged hitchhiker, who’s hobbies include self-harm and photography, and after (eventually) kicking his ass the fuck out of their van they discover that they are low on gas. Unfortunately for them, the local station is plum out so off they go to explore a nearby abandoned house (which is a shitty idea in the best of times… let alone when there are creepy locals and a spate of grave-robbing going down)… a house that’s unfortunately home to a cannibal clan
