Movie Reviews: “The Elderly” and “Disappear Completely” (Fantastic Fest)

The Elderly Codirectors Raúl Cerezo and Fernando Gonzáles Gómez wowed festival audiences earlier this year with their shocker The Passenger, and now the duo is back with another fine slice of fright-fare cinema, The Elderly (Spain, 2022). Manuel (Zorion Eguileor) finds his life deteriorating after his wife of 50 years falls to her death from their apartment window. Manuel’s son Mario (Gustavo Salmerón) wants his father to move in with them rather than wind up in a nursing home, much to the consternation of his new and pregnant wife Lena (Irene Anula), for whom Mario’s teenage daughter Naia (Paula Gallego) shows little affection. Add to this family drama the fact that Manuel’s behavior becomes increasingly bizarre and even threatening — and the same goes for all of the older people with whom the family members come into contact — and you have the set-up for a film that offers a good share of mystery, shudders, and bizarre imagery. The performances

Things To Consider Before Shooting Your Own Movie

This article explores some of the steps needed to start shooting your own movie with a small budget and limited resources. How to start shooting your own movie Independent films, or “indie films” as they are known, are a good starting point for novice filmmakers. By its very nature, independent filmmaking is a more hands-on affair. It means that a filmmaker has more creative freedom to express the way in which they want to tell a story simply because they are not answerable to big Hollywood studios or major financial backers. However, besides shooting your own movie, there are other ways to gain access to the film business if you’re just starting out. For example, you could start by going to a film school, enrolling in an online filmmaking course, or applying for one of the film production internship jobs available. Nevertheless, if your heart is set on shooting your own movie, and even if you only have a small

Movie Review: Are The Critics On The Right Track About Bullet Train?

There are plenty of examples out there of movies that were panned by the critics but which still managed to attract some more favorable reviews from cinema-goers themselves. And even some turkeys that died a death at the box office but have gone on to be a big success thanks to streaming services and DVD sales. One movie whose critical success, at least, hangs in the balance is the 2022 Brad Pitt vehicle, Bullet Train. As soon as the teaser trailer was released earlier this year many were intrigued. Shot like a travel promo for the legendary Japanese bullet train with soothing music and reassuring voiceover, the question was why a scarred and weary-looking Brad Pitt was on board. It was only when the movie’s actual trailer was released that we got a better idea of the irony that lay behind the teaser that preceded it. The Pitt Effect Bullet Train represents the next fascinating step in the career of

Movie Reviews: “Everyone Will Burn,” “Missing,” and “A Life on the Farm” (Fantastic Fest)

Everyone Will Burn Spanish shocker Everyone Will Burn (Y todos arderán; 2021) is a stylish, gripping effort from director David Hebrero, who cowrote the screenplay with Javier Kiran. Macarena Gómez gives a stunning lead performance as María José, a woman whose son was driven to suicide by other boys because the townspeople are a superstitious and hateful lot, generally speaking. As she is about to take her own life, she is interrupted by a young girl named Lucia (Sofía García in a terrific debut performance) who emerges from somewhere nearby in nature, covered in mud. As the pair drive toward town so that María José can drop off the girl with the authorities, they are stopped by two policemen who soon learn — as does María José — that the girl is empowered with supernatural abilities. As the townsfolk turn further against María José and also set their sights on also persecuting Lucia, dark secrets from the past arise, making
