The Super Bowl is over and done with, so you know what that means. Trailers!!! This year's batch had some good ones, but we were disappointed on a number of levels. From our fear of QR codes to trailers basically being a clip show, we have a lot of concerns. We also talk about the prospect of a three hour John Wick movie, and our guesses for who Ghostface will be.
You do not have to watch Lady Snowblood for too long before seeing the influence on Quentin Tarantino. There are many shots from Kill Bill that are shot for shot homages to the 1973 film. Aside from casting a long shadow, it is also incredibly stylish and filled with a surprising amount of nuance and characterization.
It is not just for the cinematography and awesome lead character it is remembered, however. The film is incredibly violent and will surprise audiences with just how graphic the brutality can get. TRIGGER WARNING: Lady Snowblood has scenes that contain sexual violence.
Because of our ages, the 1980s are the Golden Age of Horror to us. For better and worse, this means we will be drawn to 80s inspired horror movies. Set in 1987, She Came from the Woods is about a group of camp counselors who decide to have a ritual as a joke one night. You can guess what happens next.
We talk about the thin line between being an homage, a spoof, and just being derivative. She Came from the Woods does a great job of using 80s horror cliches mixed with modern storytelling, but there was one thing it completely whiffed on. B-horror can get away with a lot, but did this film go too far?
