The horrors of ‘Scream 6’ and ‘Evil Dead Rise’ reflect pandemic confinement and contagion in cities

LifeStyle, News
In ‘Scream 6,’ interior private spaces like apartments offer only the illusion of safety. by Chris Corker The pandemic changed our perception of space so that places we usually take for granted suddenly fell under heavy scrutiny. Seeing the world from six feet of enforced social distancing, restrictions, closures and hygiene protocols redefined our daily haunts. Horror is a genre of extrapolation in which potential danger becomes certain death; it feeds and gets fat on worst-case scenarios. As film commentators have noted, the pandemic is making its own mark on horror. Two recent high-profile horror movie releases in particular, Scream 6 and Evil Dead Rise, show filmmakers wrestling with space and what it means to share it. With people. With exterior forces trying to find a...

by Brian Tallerico Television has become an increasingly populated home for auteurs. Likely inspired by the success of "Twin Peaks: The Return" and stymied by the death of the mid-budget feature film, auteurs keep coming to mini-series TV, including Lars von Trier resuscitating his "The Kingdom Exodus" or Olivier Assayas delivering the masterful "Irma Vep." The incredibly divisive Nicolas Winding Refn has been here before, giving fans his indulgent and ridiculous "Too Old to Die Young" on Prime Video in 2019. The director of "Drive" and "Only God Forgives" jumps streaming giants over to Netflix this week with the six-episode "Copenhagen Cowboy," Refn's first Danish-language project since "Pusher 3" in 2005. It's a distinctly NWR project filled with fetishistic shots of violent men, an i...
M3GAN

M3GAN

LifeStyle, News
by Katie Rife The marketing for "M3gan" has leaned into the uncanny spectacle of the title character, a four-foot-tall cyborg with big doe eyes, a ratty wig, and the wardrobe of a closeted lesbian headmistress in a '50s melodrama. And it seems to be working: A well-placed GIF here, an activation with a half-dozen women in M3gan drag there, and Blumhouse—always expert at creating buzz—has generated more interest in "M3gan" than there's been for the last five horror films dumped into the bleak theatrical landscape of early January. But the company could have gone another route as well. In case you haven't heard, this film comes to you from the writer of "Malignant."For that film, James Wan directed a script by Akela Cooper, a longtime TV writer with a sideline in horror screenplays. The d...

Think bloody Terminator Christmas special, and you’ll be in the right state of mind for Joe Begos’ latest. By Rob Hunter We take our love of horror films seriously around these parts, and that includes all its various forms, tones, and subgenres. On that last point, we have a particular interest in Christmas horror movies — we even ranked over a hundred of them as a gift from us to you! Each year sees new entries, and while most are forgettable direct-to-video movies (The Mean One, Curse of Jack Frost) and the one wide theatrical release is arguably not even horror (Violent Night), there’s still a clear winner for 2022’s holiday season. Modern day grindhouse auteur Joe Begos delivers his best film yet with Christmas Bloody Christmas, a relentlessly aggressive tale of a robot santa wi...
