The Trouble With Eli Roth’s DEATH WISH

(NOTE: THIS IS JUST MY OPINION. IF YOU DON’T AGREE, I RESPECT THAT) Gun’s are cool, shooting bad guys is badass, and 6-chamber street justice is the name of the game in Eli Roth’s deeply problematic Death Wish. Initially delayed after the tragic Las Vegas shooting last October, Death Wish had the great misfortune of being released only a few weeks after the tragic shooting at Stonemason Douglas High school in Florida. It seems there’s too much gun violence in America to respectfully release a film celebrating gun violence. Well, that’s assuming it’s possible to respectfully release a film celebrating gun violence at all. The Charles Bronson led original, released back in 1974, hasn’t aged particularity well, but can at least be said to be a product of the times. What’s Eli Roth’s excuse, releasing a film in 2018 that is so unabashedly pro-murder, pro-vigilante, and generally misguided and ugly. Extended scenes of fictional violence has never been something that’s

‘The Strangers: Prey At Night’ Review: A Glowing Sequel

The Strangers, released way back in 2008, while not exactly revolutionary, was a pretty damn good horror flick. Creepy masks, sharp blades, and of course the scariest motive ever added up to a pretty solidly scary experience. Evil in The Strangers films doesn’t have a higher motive, cosmic stakes, familial connections, or anything of the like. It strikes in fact, for no reason at all, “because you were home.” This creeping dread doesn’t exactly take hold in the sequel, which largely abandons scares for camp, dark corners for neon lit pools, and bland suburbia for a a colorful, gaudy trailer park. Horror’s changed in the ten years since the original Strangers release, and Prey At Night is a much different sequel than we’d likely have gotten back in 2010. It sure is a fun one though, embracing the sillier aspects of the Slasher genre without losing it’s razor sharp edge. Like the original, Prey At Night’s bodycount is pretty low

“The Shape of Water” Gets The Funko Pop Treatment

As part of their unending quest to make Pop figures of every single franchise that has ever existed, Funko will turn characters from The Shape of Water into their signature big eyed toys. Right now three have been announced; deaf protagonist Eliza, her Amphibian lover, and Shape of Water director Guillmerro Del Toro himself. I didn’t know I needed an Del Toro fashion figure until I saw one, but now I’m in love. Here’s hoping Funko does all the famous directors; I’d love to carry around a miniature Tarantino.

Annihilation Review: Lovecraft Done Right

There’s a sense of unease all throughout Annihilation, the latest film from Ex Machina director Alex Garland. The strange color palette, booming techno-esque score,and oddly detached performances from the actors add up to a film that is immensely strange, beautiful, and utterly alienating. Few films have really nailed down what made Lovecraft’s monsters so powerful; not just that they were skyscraper sized, tentacled freaks, but that they were completely and utterly inhuman, unimaginable, beyond comprehension. Now since Annihilation is a film, and those generally have to be viewed with your eyes, the spectacle is made a little more sensible. But just a little. Almost every aspect of Garland’s masterpiece remains amazingly alien. The monsters and menaces of Annihilation are a result of a following star, smashing into the Florida Everglades, and infecting the land with an odd rainbow glow. Recalling Lovecraft’s seminal tale, The Colour Out Of Space, The Shimmer, as this forsaken land is coined, warps everything in it’s

Jordan Peele Gives First Hints Of His Next Film

Since it’s release last February, “Get Out” has proven to have legs and then some, grossing over $250 million dollars and mopping up on the rewards segment, including four academy award nominations. It was a smashing successful and startling debut for first time director Jordan Peele, best known for his sketch show on Comedy Central. With Peele having one of the the most promising directoral debuts in history, horror or not, all eyes are locked on the 38 year old, wondering what film he’ll cook up next. While much is still unknown, Jordan has peeled back the first few layers of what his next project might be, stating in an interview with THR; “You know, I think it’s important to focus on stories that are true to me. My next film, I am currently writing it and I’ll direct for Universal this year; I’m just trying to entertain myself again.” He elaborated that he doesn’t want to make just another
