Fang (2022)
Great psychological body horror film
FANG is a great, compelling film that is both a body horror film and a psychological horror film. The main character, played by Dylan LaRay, has some autistic tendenceis and pretty miserable life. He has a terrible job with a horrible boss and he lives with his mother, who has serious physical and mental problems. She suffers from Parkinson's Disease and her condition is rapidly deteriorating. Lowry gives one of her greatest performances, able to change her mood and tone very quickly, as when she gets angry. She can be a monster at times, but at other times can be a good mother. After Dylan gets bitten by a rat, he starts growing fur on his arms, and this is where the film becomes a gross Cronenbergian body horror film.
The acting is first rate- in fact, I am still angry at Dylan's boss for being such a jerk. LaRay is incredible and gives a strong emotional performance. He evidences some traits of schizophrenia and through his art and comic book drawing, he has created a new universe for himself, as he does not seem to fit in this one. His acting is great but Lynn Lowry steals the film. I have been a fan of hers for my entire life and this is one of her most serious and intense roles. At times, she is truly evil and tyrannical, at other times she is weak and vulnerable. At all times her acting is superb and realistic.
There are several other things that elevate this film to a modern classic.
First is the beautiful cinematography, and second is the editing, which is innovative and realistic and propels the story forward. The chemistry between the two leads is great and when the kid and his mother are arguing things get really exciting.
According to IMDB, this is the first full length film from director Richard Burgin. This is hard to believe, because the film is so well made that I assumed while watching it that the director had more experience. He is definitely someone to watch and I look forward to his next film. With its harsh look at autism, schizophrenia and Parkinsons Disease, this film does a great job at capturing these illnesses in its characters, and fans of psychological suspense (and body horror) are sure to enjoy this great film with its realistic performances of degeneration, angst, frustration, anger, and jealousy.
The Dead Ones (2019)
Amazing surreal mindf@@k film about a school shooting
This is really a great film, and Jeremy Kasten has done a fantastic job directing it. It's a film about a school shooting, but it is told as a supernatural film, which I don't think has been done before, and the result is a very powerful moving film about a major problem we have in America. The young actors are uniformly excellent, and the surreal imagery is something you won't forgot too soon. The plot involves four students assigned to clean up their school after there has been some type of catastrophe. The four kids are not alone though. There are four school shooters based on the four horsemen of the apocalypse who look the kids in the school and then hunt them down. This leads to many revelations about the characters and why they behave and act the way they do. There is a lot of great gore and special effects that will definitely attract horror fans. This is an important movie that tackles a very important phenomenon, school shooting (and violence in general). It is a brave and uncompromising film and viewers should be pleasantly surprised by the film. The visual effects in particular are excellent.
Another winner from director Jeremy Kasten.
Cynthia (2018)
awesome!
This movie has it all! Gore and humor and suspense. A couple with fertility problems is able to finally conceive but its not all good news- there's a monster baby (who is actually sweet, she just likes the taste of people)! The film is about the choices the couple makes when they find out the truth. Bill Moseley has a brief but unforgettable cameo as a crazy lady in my favorite scene in the movie. Robert Rhine is always hilarious as the doctor. There's some pretty gross stuff in this movie which I loved and the makeup was great. Although this was no multi million dollar Hollywood extravaganza it was filmed edited acted and directed perfectly so that at no point will you think its just another low budget film. Another hilarious and unexpected cameo comes from Lynn Lowry, who is briefly hired to be a nanny for the monster baby. Spoiler alert- she doesn't last long. The birth scene is a classic and the film reminded me of a modern It's Alive! Quirky, funny, original, gory at times, and a lot of fun to watch. Definitely recommended!
