I watched a movie on Netflix last weekend called Upgrade, think it’s a few yrs old. Futuristic sci-fi slash action. Really pretty decent, very well-acted by the lead
In a Violent Nature, horror movie that came out last month and hit digital last Friday.
The central conceit is in most horror movies, specifically slashers, you follow a group of kids and every 12 minutes or so the monster interrupts. What if you followed the monster and every 12 minutes a teen interrupts them?
It was just so damn clever, smart and well executed. Not “smart” in the sense it was intellectual, but in film making craft. Lots of people are loving it and very well reviewed. So much skillfully story telling in the middle distance and sides of frames. But the people who don’t like it seem to think the pacing is very discordant. There are long stretches of pastoral cinematography with no action. And there are intense moments of violence and gore. Some people who came for the violence and gore are not receptive to the quiet, natural beauty stretches. ( Don’t think there really would be people the other way, i e. No nature lovers are trying out a slasher pic.) But the beautiful stretches are the point. The violence is so much starker for what it interrupts. Also, I think one of the “meanings” of the film is the humans treat the monster as a motivated character when it’s just a force of nature. Don’t try to stand in nature’s way, let it be.
Just so innovative and very referential to the genre while pushing it in New directions never previously explored
Psycho from 1960.
