‘Stress Positions’ review: John Early’s COVID comedy goes boldly cringe https://ift.tt/WDwcepy A disorienting COVID comedy with plenty on its mind, Stress Positions announces the arrival of filmmaker Theda Hammel as a bold new voice to watch. This is her feature debut both in front of and behind the camera — the director/writer/composer/editor also co-stars alongside comedian John Early — and the result is an intimate New York farce of epic proportions. Set during the pandemic lockdown in 2020, it follows a group of jaded, white, queer older millennials (and one young Moroccan zoomer) and cha ..read more

Directors Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, part of the filmmaking team known as Radio Silence, are responsible for infusing the genre with plenty of fresh blood over the past few years, thanks to 2019’s Ready or Not and the reinvigorated Scream franchise. Then you’ve got a slew of modern horror notables attached, like Lisa Frankenstein‘s Kathryn Newton, Scream and Scream VI‘s Melissa Barrera, as ..read more

This stoner comedy is a perfect pick for 420 https://ift.tt/2sPbSOm There are movies so chaotic in their influences that — by right — they shouldn’t work. And yet, somehow, by combining wildly disparate elements with DIY spectacle, they are simply magic.

The second is the gleefully absurd slasher spoof from directors Lindsey Haun and Nick Roth, called Hanky Panky. No matter how d ..read more

‘Rebel Moon: Part Two – The Scargiver’ review: Can Zack Snyder save his space epic?  https://ift.tt/6nCvlY2 Here we go again. It’s been just four months since Zack Snyder dropped Rebel Moon: Part One – Child of Fire on Netflix. The project — originally pitched as a Star Wars movie — failed to thrill critics or audiences. (It currently holds a 21 percent rating from the former and 57 percent from the latter on Rotten Tomatoes.) But Netflix bet big on Snyder, who has long had DCEU fans in a tizzy over his dark visions of grim heroics and perfume-ad glamorous protagonists. By the ..read more
