Stardate 01.31.2022.B: Kino Lorber's 2022 Re-release Of 1978's 'Invasion Of The Body Snatchers' Deserves Your Undivided Attention

Though others have argued differently, many agree that the 1950’s truly saw the full-fledged invention of the contemporary Science Fiction feature film.  The Atomic Age heralded in a whole new interest in science, and it’s that interest that fueled much of what Hollywood (and beyond) brought to the silver screen at that time.
 
The stories evolved a bit in the 1960’s.  As audiences embraced this new genre, the storytellers decided it was time to loosen things up just a bit; and the studios even introduced a bit of camp sensibilities to some of the wider entries in Science Fiction and Fantasy.  Roger Vadim kinda/sorta sexed SciFi up just a bit with his Barbarella (1968), while Kinji Fukasaku’s The Green Slime (1968) delivered a space-based mucus to spell mankind’s doom.  Still, the late 1960’s delivered some impressive benchmarks which endure as thoughtful favorites to this day: Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey challenged man’s conception of his role in the universe, while Franklin J. Schaffner’s Planet Of The Apes brought a dark view of mankind’s demise to a blockbuster-hungry audience.  The popular Apes franchise delivered a handful of sequels over the next few years, and it even saw a critically and commercially successful rebirth with Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes (2011).
 
In the 1970’s, Science Fiction took a bit of a dark turn as more and more stories painted a rather bleak future for our planet and those unfortunate enough to be around for those last days.  Robert Wise’s adaptation of the Michael Crichton novel The Andromeda Strain (1971) saw a team of scientists racing against time to save our world from a virus threatening our extinction.  Richard Fleischer’s Soylent Green (1973) explored a social collapse revolving around our overpopulated world confronting a food crisis with a dark solution.  And Michael Anderson’s Logan’s Run (also adapted from a novel) showed audiences a future city-state wherein citizens would be secretly executed – though promised enlightenment – upon their thirtieth birthday.  We had seen the future; and, apparently, Mother Nature didn’t want us part of it much longer.
 
There are many cultural triggers that put us on such a treacherous path in films.  I won’t debate them here, but I will say that many of these influences likely played into the decision to reimagine 1956’s Invasion Of The Body Snatchers for this era.  Its story deals with the loss of individuality at the hands of a secret, oppressive authority that brings with it no announced agenda, no public game plan for the eventual fate of our souls.  While its milieu fits perfectly with the trend of the other films, this incarnation ratchets up the paranoia a bit further by stripping away the hope for any survivability with its grim ending, delivering a final scene that resonates with audiences decades later.

(NOTE: The following review will contain minor spoilers necessary solely for the discussion of plot and/or characters.  If you’re the type of reader who prefers a review entirely spoiler-free, then I’d encourage you to skip down to the last few paragraphs for the final assessment.  If, however, you’re accepting of a few modest hints at ‘things to come,’ then read on …)
 
From the product packaging:
“Filmy spores fall from space over San Francisco, and the city blossoms with beautiful new flora.  People take the flowers home and, as they sleep, the plants creep over them, devouring their bodies and stealing their identities – their emotions, their uniqueness, their souls.  If you notice an eerie change in someone very close to you, chances are you’re next!”
 
What makes each of us unique is our separate identities.  Each of us has a job to call our own.  Each of us has hobbies and interests we explore.  Each of us might spend our days with a significant other – or even with a group of family and friends – and we learn along to way to treasure these moments because they’ll likely never come again.  But what if there were a single threat that could strip all of that away in the blink of an eye?
 
That’s the fuel that burns so brightly in director Philip Kaufman’s Invasion Of The Body Snatchers.  Though it’s a tale that’s loaded with some terrific special effects and great performances from some Hollywood talent near the top of their game, the undercurrent of the central idea – that you are just a few moments away from losing everything you’ve become – propels this version of this story.  This isn’t death because – in a sense – you live on.  Still, you’re a shell of what you once were, reduced to little more than a meat suit waiting for commands from some unseen alien influence.
 
There’s a nebulousness to Snatchers that’s always troubled me as a viewer (with this reboot as well as the original).  Apparently, there’s no driving intellect behind whatever is happening to all of these victims; we’re just being converted from sentient creatures into little more than plant life – we’re alive, but all we do is grow.  Life has no substance – at least, none that we’re shown, as neither film postulate any end game scenario behind all of this.  Clearly, some of what we’ve become survives, but this lack of definition has always kept Snatchers from being a franchise of greater study.  It’s a chilling narrative, but in the final estimation that’s all there is.  While others might find that worthy of extrapolation, I find myself floundering with anything more to make of it.
​
Picture
This in no way diminishes the power of what Kaufman accomplishes with his film.  Big city life was thought to be peeling away some layers of our humanity, so setting this incarnation there was a great change of place from the original.  Each of these characters were cogs in the great urban machine, and they were forced to confront this expanding menace while also racing for their lives against the loss of safe havens.  The urban sprawl was a perfect visual metaphor for these worlds in collision, and the film is staged perfectly to reflect the increasing angst of those fighting for their existence.
 
Also, I’d be remiss if I failed to heap a bit of praise on Kaufman’s incredible cast.  Snatchers gets great work out of lead Donald Sutherland: he plays the somewhat righteous city-crusader Matthew Bennell fighting to keep restaurants safe from disease and infection.  In the hands of a lesser actor, the small moments of a man slowly coming to realization that all is not what it seems could’ve been lost, but Sutherland angles gracefully between casual charm and dire concern to great effect.  A young Jeff Goldblum is also deliciously cast as Jack Bellicec, a struggling writer who battles low self-esteem whilst trying to prove his worth to those around him.  Leonard Nimoy turns in high marks as a pop culture psychologist who believes his feel-good mentality can solve whatever ails his patients, though he might be hiding a secret from those who know him best.  The comely Brooke Adams quickly eventually proves more than the damsel-in-distress set-up she’s given in W.D. Richter’s script as hers is the first voice of reason pushing for authorities to do something before it’s all too late.  And poor, poor Veronica Cartwright!  She goes from being the last man standing in this film to being raped by the Xenomorph in Ridley Scott’s seminal Alien (1979).  This actress definitely deserved better from Science Fiction!
 
Certainly, it’s worth noting that the film received ample attention from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror Films.  At their 1979 Saturn Awards, Snatchers received an incredible eight nominations but only went home with trophies in the categories of ‘Best Sound’ and ‘Best Director.’  Additionally, the motion picture received a nomination for ‘Best Dramatic Presentation’ from the 1979 Hugo Awards.  If that isn’t enough to catch your eye and encourage you to see this one, then perhaps you’re the one that’s been snatched, and your now vegetable, pod-hatched brain is having trouble keeping up with reality.
​

Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (1978) was produced by Solofilm.  DVD distribution (for this particular release) is being handled via Kino Lorber.  As for the technical specifications?  This all-new 4K restoration looks and sounds brilliant.  As for the special features?  This is nothing short of incredible as Kino Lorber has pulled together something that’ll keep fans busy for hours:
  • Audio commentary from Director Philip Kaufman
  • Audio commentary by Author/Film Historian Steve Haberman
  • Star-Crossed In The Invasion: Interview with actress Brooke Adams
  • Re-Creating The Invasion: Interview with Screenwriter W.D. Richter
  • Scoring The Invasion: Interview With Composer Denny Zeitlin
  • Leading The Invasion: Interview with Actor Art Hindle
  • Writing The Pod: Interview with Jack Finney Expert Jack Seabrook
  • Re-Visitors From Outer Space, or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Pod – Featurette
  • Practical Magic: The Special Effects Pod – Featurette
  • The Man Behind The Scream: The Sound Effects Pod – Featurette
  • The Invasion Will Be Televised: The Cinematography Pod – Featurette
  • And even more shorts, spots, and trailers.
 
Highly recommended.  With the overall tone of Science Fiction from the 1970’s being fairly downbeat, it should come as no surprise that a studio got the bright idea to remake the 1956 SciFi Cold War Classic Invasion Of The Body Snatchers.  The loss of identity and oppressive authority themes definitely go hand-in-hand with the era, and director Kaufman points everyone in the direction that assures all good things will end … whether we like it or not.  It’s an incredible cast – Sutherland, Nimoy, and Goldblum – giving it their best; though a few sequences are obviously a bit dated, it’s dystopian feel is thankfully never out of style.
 
In the interests of fairness, I’m pleased to disclose that the fine folks at Kino Lorber provided me with a complimentary Blu-ray of Invasion Of The Body Snatchers by request for the expressed purposes of completing this review; and their contribution to me in no way, shape, or form influenced my opinion of it.

Stardate 01.31.2022.A: Halo Trailer Drops; Galactic Peace Unlikely Any time Soon

1/31/2022

Yes, it's true: you could probably line a thimble with all that yours truly knows about the wider universe of the Halo franchise.

I vaguely recall being taken to task in the past over an interview I did regarding one of those direct-to-DVD Halo movie releases.  In short, I found the movie entertaining, but a reader responded that -- because I liked it -- I demonstrated my ignorance of the Halo property because the film had very little to do with the game.  I explained that -- as a reviewer -- it isn't necessarily my responsibility to know all that is knowable about any particular franchise; rather, I'm tasked with evaluating each and every item independently because, otherwise, how are the uninitiated ever to come to Halo without someone who can see their side of things?  Of course it escalated with me being called all kinds of names in the book, and such is the state of fandom these days.  Treacherous, indeed.

But my blissful stupidity with all things Halo won't stop me from sharing the trailer that dropped for the TV serial this morning.  It looks like this thing will be screening on Paramount+ -- behind that dreaded pay wall that's absconding Star Trek from unleashing its lessons on mankind -- so I'm unlikely to see this one in the near future.  It is the kind of thing I'd be inclined to pick up on home video, and that'll be a long way off as this hasn't even streamed for subscribers yet.

Trailer is below.  You folks know what to do.

As always, thanks for reading ... and live long and prosper!

Stardate 01.28.2022.A: Troma, Glorious Troma! 'Mutant Blast' Being Prepped For Home video Release This May

1/28/2022

If you've never experienced a film from Troma, then you're certainly missing something ... erm ... special?

I kid, I kid.  Troma's library of cinema shlock offers up some decidedly bizarre film inspirations that definitely push the bounds of good taste in a fun way.  Though I know quite a few folks who pass up something from their catalogue because it isn't their tastes, I have no problem watching damn near anything, and some of it ends up being very good-natured stuff.  I will concede that some of their 1980's stuff is a bit bizarre, but I'd still say it's mostly harmful.

​In any event, Troma and Alle Films teamed up for a release in 2018 titled Mutant Blast which appears to have won over an all-new legion of fans.  IMDB.com shows it billed as an Action/Horror/Comedy (usually a decent combination and definitely makes it sound like something in Troma's sphere of influence), and the flick maintains a 6+ score (out of ten) with interested viewers.  That's a very decent number (scroll through any other Troma title, and you'll see what I mean), and it's definitely earned its sea legs from a helluva round-up of film festival appearances and the like.  Dare I also mention that Mutant Blast has brought home a respectable number of trophies as well as a few additional nominations that fell a bit short?  Trust me when I saw that's great for anything Troma!

I mention this because I read yesterday that this quirky film has finally found its release date, and it'll be coming to home video in May, 2022.  Those of you who wish to pre-order can follow the link below (for Amazon.com).  Since I haven't seen it, I can't tell you whether or not it's worth a blind buy or not, but a 6+ fan rating has to be for something, does it not?

As always, thanks for reading ... and live long and prosper!

Stardate 01.27.2022.E: 'The Cursed' Taking A Bite Out Of The Box Office In February

They still make monster movies, don't they?

I don't know what your childhood was like (FYI: I'm likely a bit older than most of you who read SciFiHistory.Net), but my young life was just time spent between one monster movie and the next.  I'd gravitate toward anything remotely monster-like on TV -- this was way back in the day when our only entertainment avenue was a handful of channels playing old movies in syndicated rotation -- so anything that even closely fit the bill I'd watch.  Werewolves.  Vampires.  Sea creatures.  Godzilla.  Mummies.  You name it.  If it was in the title, then I'd definitely be there, and even if there was the promise of something creature-like I was happy.

Sigh.

It would seem that -- to a degree -- monster movies aren't as stylish with the Hollywood elite as they used to be.  Granted, everything gets 'fixed in post' these days, so the prospect of suiting someone up in prosthetics, giving him some claws, scars, or the like may not be as easily cast, actors and actresses being ones more inclined to preserve the beauty of their appearances as opposed to hiding under all that make-up.  Still, when it's done right, I think audiences find it and appeciate it for the work that goes into crafting something legitimate and tangible as creatures go.

All of this springs to mind basically as I just watched the trailer for The Cursed (2021), a little something something which appears to have been conceived and shot in the United Kingdom.  Some of the scenery is definitely practical effects work, though I've no doubt there'll be more scars russled up in CGI or post-trickery as seems to be the case these days.  IMDB.com reports that the film has had a few festival airings and that it's also been the recipient of some praise.  A little bit of Googling will show you that it's been reviewed largely favorably; and the coming attraction definitely looks a bit Gothic and inspired.  It springs from the mind of Sean Ellis (a fairly slim resume on the web) and stars the likes of Boyd Holbrook (Logan, The Predator), Kelly Reilly (True Detective, Yellowstone), and Alistair Petrie (Rogue One, Hellboy).

Trailer is below.  You know what to do.

As always, thanks for reading ... and live long and prosper!

Stardate 01.27.2022.D: 2019's 'The Long Walk' Enjoying U.S. Release In February

1/27/2022

Argh.

One of the things that's truly frustrating about being on the cusp of most entertainment news is that I learn a little bit about a lot of films that, sadly, I've no way of seeing ... well, until they drop onto either a streaming platform I'm familiar with or a distributor I have a relationship with comes calling with a DVD or Bluray.  So many of these smaller releases really do look like they might have something to offer audiences; while I'd love to cover them in greater detail, I just don't (yet) have the access to the movers and the shakers who can line me up with some connections.  I do work pretty hard at keeping my name and SciFiHistory.Net's presence out there these days, so let's all keep our fingers crossed that I'll eventually make it over that hump.

But -- in any event -- I saw the trailer for 2019's The Long Walk on a competitor's website, and I thought it worthy of sharing here.  Apparently, this is a Laotian film that tinkers in some very creative ways with the conventions of the traditional Horror/Ghost Story while also dipping just a bit into the possibilities of time travel.  (Haven't I been telling you folks for so long that these genres overlap like you wouldn't believe?)  Looking at its IMDB.com citations, the flick has garnered some praise on the festival circuit (sometimes that's a good thing, sometimes not so much); and while I didn't find the coming attraction anything Earth-shattering, it still managed to pique my interest just a bit.

So ... trailer is below.  You folks know what to do.

As always, thanks for reading ... and live long and prosper!

Stardate 01.27.2022.C: UPDATE!!! Scream Factory Giving 'The Sword And The Sorcerer' Fans Something To Truly Scream About This March

1/27/2022

Faithful readers: back in January 13th I waxed on just a little bit about the forthcoming release of The Sword And The Sorcerer (1982).  (Link)  I won't revisit the point suffice it to say that I'm not as big a fan of the film as are many of my contemporaries, but it's a nice little B-Movie, at best.  Essentially, I just wanted to let folks know that there would finally be a good release of the film that's deserved much better than what's been available before ... and now it looks like Scream Factory has answered that call.

I found the specs for their March 15th release this afternoon published on Bluray.com, and it's nothing short of spectacular.  Though this isn't a favorite of mine by any estimation, I might just have to pick this one up (since I can't get the folks at Scream to answer any of my email requests, not even to put on their mailing list for promotions it would seem).  It's an incredible package ("that's what she said"), and I've no doubt that fans might be lining up to purchase a copy of this one.

Details will be copied and pasted below.  You know what to do.

As always, thanks for reading ... and live long and prosper!

Stardate 01.27.2022.B: Kino Cult's February Line-Up Looks More Than A Bit Killer

Kino Lorber has quickly become one of my favorite outlets for movies new and old.  As a distributor, they have an incredible catalogue of prospects -- many of which I've never seen -- and they continue to roll out project after project to the delight of genre fans everywhere.  Though some of their prospects might seem a bit artsy or highbrow at times, I'm always willing to work my way through the treacherous fare in hopes of finding something that delights ... and I'm rarely disappointed.

As I've mentioned previously on SciFiHistory.Net's MainPage, Kino Lorber has followed suit with so many other outlets and have expanded into the streaming business: I mentioned their first assortment of movies thick and thin right here, for those who might wanna travel back in time a few weeks to check out what you've missed.  Well, just yesterday I received an update on some of what's in store for their subscribers in February, so I thought it appropriate to provide some promotion.

Again: folks, I have no dog in this fight.  Unlike other outlets, I'm not a paid shill on behalf of any outlet, studio, filmmaker, or storyteller.  All I'm doing here is facilitating some information from them to you, and I'm doing it because of my love of filmdom.  If you're looking for something a bit offbeat, quirky, and mystifying, then I'd encourage you to check out Kino Lorber at your leisure.  Who knows?  We just might make a film lover out of you yet!

I'll be copying and pasting below.  You folks know what to do.

KINO LORBER ANNOUNCES NEW TITLES COMING TO VOD IN FEBRUARY
​

​THE BRONZE BUCKAROO
dir. Richard C. Kahn, 58m, 1939

In this delightful Western/musical/comedy, cowboy Bob Blake (singer Herbert Jeffries) and four friends ride to Arizona to help Betty Jackson (Artie Young) solve the mystery of her missing brother (Rollie Hardin). Costarring African American cinema pioneer Spencer Williams at Pete.

THE FLYING ACE
dir. Richard E. Norman, 65m, 1926

A rural crime drama revolving around a pair of rival aviators, The Flying Ace illuminates the fact that many films made for African American audiences were less concerned with race than with making popular entertainment in the traditional Hollywood style, offering matinee audiences the chance to see African Americans in heroic and romantic roles. Filmed in the Arlington area of Jacksonville, Florida, The Flying Ace is a unique aviation melodrama in that no airplanes actually leave the ground (the spectacular flight scenes are performed on terra firma, in front of neutral backdrops). A veteran World War I fighter pilot returns home a war hero and immediately regains his former job as a railroad company detective. His first case: recover a stolen satchel filled with $25,000 of company payroll, locate a missing employee, and capture a gang of railroad thieves.
​
Picture
THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI
dir. Robert Wiene, 75m, 1920

In 1920, one brilliant movie jolted the postwar masses and catapulted the movement known as German Expressionism into film history. That movie was The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, a plunge into the mind of insanity that severs all ties with the rational world. Director Robert Wiene and a visionary team of designers crafted a nightmare realm in which light, shadow and substance are abstracted, a world in which a demented doctor and a carnival sleepwalker perpetrate a series of ghastly murders in a small community.
​
Picture
THE IRON ROSE
dir. Jean Rollin, 80m, 1973

The Iron Rose is a haunting experience - a macabre tone poem about youth and age, love and nihilism, nostalgia and superstition, and, above all, life and death. Francoise Pascal (There's a Girl in My Soup) and Hugues Quester (Three Colors: Blue) go on a metaphysical, Orpheus-like journey inside an ancient, all-but-abandoned graveyard but, as night falls, they cannot find their way out. As Quester's nihilism crumbles to impatience and terror, Pascal transfers her disappointed passion for him to the cemetery itself and becomes jubilantly (and dangerously) attuned to its dead. If Orson Welles was correct when he estimated that a film could only be considered good to the extent it represented the artist who made it, The Iron Rose is Jean Rollin's first authentic masterpiece.

Picture
THE COMEBACK
dir. Pete Walker, 100m, 1978

Pop star Jack Jones (best remembered for the theme from The Love Boat) plays a singer who is haunted by the death of his estranged wife, and led into a confrontation with the killer, in The Comeback. A sleek and entertaining slasher film from director Pete Walker, it is a bloody illustration of the costs of fame.

While recording an album he hopes will vault him back up the charts, singer Nick Cooper (Jones) begins suffering from hallucinations, pushing him to the brink of a nervous breakdown. When those close to him start dying in brutal murders, his connection to reality frays even more, until he himself is staring death in the face.

Rounding out the cast are cult movie and TV favorites David Doyle (Charlie's Angels), Pamela Stephenson (Superman III, Saturday Night Live) and Holly Palance (The Omen).
​
Picture
HORSEHEAD
dir. Romain Basset, 92m, 2014

Haunting and horrific, surreal and shocking, Horsehead is a new horror-fantasy that pays tribute to the classic European shockers of Dario Argento and Mario Bava, while also remaining a unique film with its own vision, delivering unforgettable images that both disturb and enchant. Director Romain Basset's tale follows beautiful young Jessica (Lilly-Fleur Pointeaux) as she returns to her family's countryside estate for her grandmother's funeral. Haunted by recurring nightmares of a horse-headed monster, Jessica attempts to put her studies of "lucid dreaming" to good use, as she semi-consciously navigates through this dream landscape, trying to discover the secrets behind this sinister apparition. But Jessica must also cope with a hostile mother (The Beyond's Catriona MacColl), and the growing realization that the death of her grandmother was actually a suicide triggered by the woman's past traumas and visions. Horsehead is a feverish, ethereal journey through the world of nightmares.

Picture
OASIS OF THE ZOMBIES
dir. Jess Franco, 85m, 1982

Once established as a master of the Euro-erotic horror film, Jess Franco continued to explore more traditional modes of filmmaking, setting familiar genres on their ears with his singular brand of reckless creativity. Made during the living dead craze of the early 1980s, Oasis of the Zombies is one of only a handful of motion pictures to explore a most peculiar subgenre of the movement: the Nazi zombie film.

In telling the story of a cache of German gold—lost in the desert, sought by a group of teenagers, protected by the walking dead—Franco demonstrated his characteristic lack of restraint, shamelessly inserting stock footage from a bigger-budget war picture, allowing his camera to dwell on the worm-eaten orifices of the shriveled undead and, of course, lacing the action with his trademark style of lyrical eroticism. The resulting film is a decadent exercise in grindhouse filmmaking that is more audacious than frightening, illuminating one of the more peculiar facets of Jess Franco's uniquely warped cinema.

Stardate 01.27.2022.A: 2021's 'Superhost' Is Hitchcock By Way Of TikTok

1/27/2022

Picture
Many in academia have credited Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho (1960) as the first Horror film of the modern era.
 
Far be it from me to dispute the status of the legendary film, but what has always impressed me about that singular tale is its setting: the quaint, rural, and roadside Bates Motel.  In the era of its production, such destinations rich in off-the-beaten-path Americana weren’t regarded as being locations involving such horrific circumstance.  Certainly, there were press accounts of seedy dealings that no doubt took place in such spots, but these road stops were largely considered safe havens from the evils of the big city or the sprawling interstate.  The average individual likely considered himself safe spending the night there, and it’s this narrative juxtaposition that gives Psycho its enduring punch.
 
Since those days, our society has evolved.  While hotels and motels are still out there for the traveling consumer, venues like bread-and-breakfast’s (BnB’s) have popped up with local homeowners renting out a room (or three) to weary tourists wishing for a more homegrown event.  Just this past year the wifey and I reached well outside our comfort zone and booked our first Airbnb – an entire (small) residence for our use on a holiday season excursion.  I’ll admit that it felt a bit odd, at first, staying in what clearly was someone else’s dwelling (when they were in town), but it was infinitely more relaxing having that kind of leg room to call your own … for a few days, at least.
 
Because such places are becoming a favorite amongst diehard travelers, there’s been an incredible sub-economy grow out of the hospitality industry, one taking advantage of the technology available to all of us via social media.  Lodgers will travel to these stops, they’ll spend a few days, and then they’ll share their review publicly for all to see.  Lo and behold, these influencers (as they’re called) have been able to turn that singular passion of theirs into their day jobs as Silicon Valley has given every reviewer and storyteller a means to monetize these videos for profit.  Yes, I’m oversimplifying the amount of work required to be successful, but rest assured that – right now – there are people doing this for a living … and many of them have never been happier.
 
Well, 2021’s Superhost cleverly meshes the new (Airbnb) with the old (Hitchcock’s film) to come up with a dynamic renovation on the old formula.  This Old House?  Meet MTV Cribs!  With blood!  It has thrills, chills, and spills aplenty; and it all comes together with three great performances of some young leads with even a little bit extra thrown in by way by a fourth performer who just happens to be one of the vanguard performers of modern horror.
 
Are you ready to check in?

(NOTE: The following review will contain minor spoilers necessary solely for the discussion of plot and/or characters.  If you’re the type of reader who prefers a review entirely spoiler-free, then I encourage you to skip down to the last few paragraphs for the final assessment.  If, however, you’re accepting of a few modest hints at ‘things to come,’ then read on …)
 
From the film’s promotional materials:
“Teddy and Claire are travel vloggers who run a channel called ‘SUPERHOST’ where they travel and share their experiences in and around vacation homes, and until recently, had become successful doing it. With a dwindling subscriber count, they find the perfect opportunity to create content that people want to see when they meet Rebecca, the host of their most recent trip. Slowly they start to realize that something isn’t right with Rebecca, and as they investigate it further, they unlock a horrifying truth. She doesn’t just want a great review, she wants something far worse.”
 
On its most basic level, Superhost is little more than a Psycho re-imaging.  (I don’t say that as an insult; if you’re gonna steal, then steal from the best.)  It may not have the depth or the nuance dating back to the work of Anthony Perkins in a role he became known for, but it does cleverly update the story to the modern age by framing it through the eyes of its two narrators: Teddy (played by Osric Chau) and Claire (Sara Canning) star as vloggers racing against time to save both their professional and personal relationships from collapse.  Before you know it, they’re joined in a race for their lives, as well, when host Rebecca (Gracie Gillam) turns out to have a thirst for murder if she doesn’t get the attention she feels she and her isolated home deserve.
 
There’s a bit more of a big reveal surrounding Rebecca and her past (I won’t spoil it) but suffice it to say that she’s clearly disturbed.  At first, she appears to be harmlessly quirky, and audiences might think of her perfectly at home as any of the secondary players in either David Lynch’s Twin Peaks or the Coen Brothers’ Fargo.  She’s a bit slow on the uptake, taking a few extra seconds to consider what she’s heard.  Perhaps she’s even a bit overly dramatic in the manner in which she speaks casually.  Indeed, we’ve all likely known someone like dear Rebecca … let’s just hope they weren’t secretly as homicidal as this ‘Superhost’ turns out to be.
 
As the film’s villain, Gillam cuts from a cloth different than Perkins did in Psycho.  Though both had their respective emotional hang-ups, Perkin’s Norman Bates was never effuse, brusque, or loud in any way; he was tall, prim, and exceedingly proper at every opportunity.  (Exactly how mother would’ve wanted it, dare I say?)  In Gillam’s hands, Rebecca ticks and tocks like a clock on the wall that might be slowly failing.  Though her eyes give the impression of one occasionally lost in thought, you’re never quite sure she even heard the question you asked much less is processing the information needed.  It’s this coolly calculated unpredictability that makes her character a delight to behold.
​
Picture
As you can guess, writer/director Brandon Christensen puts these three players eventually at odds with one another, and it’s a process that takes some reasonable screen time.  Claire sees Rebecca’s eccentricities as something she and Teddy can exploit for their vlog: perhaps this confused young homeowner can generate some increased traffic to their website, thus pushing the couple back into the internet limelight they’ve previously enjoyed.   Begrudgingly, Teddy concedes, but he does so largely because he’s intent on making Claire happy again.  She’s fallen on bad spirits, much of it tied to the results of their internet show, and he’s intent on saving their partnership before that falls apart as well.  In fact, he has big plans for this trip – ones that include a ring and a proposal – and he’s learned well in advance the truth in that old saying, “happy wife, happy life.”
 
All of that said, Superhost is no complicated character study.  I think Teddy, Claire, and Rebecca intersect in exactly the way anyone watching expects, and Christensen utilizes an effective blue-color approach to knowing what to reveal when and how much tension to ratchet as a result.  Essentially, what audiences get here is everything one expects from a visual and vicarious thrill ride: you know it won’t be long before blood is spilled, and the excitement is trying to figure out which ill-timed decision is going to be the one that causes Rebecca’s psyche to finally crack so that she can show her true colors.  Though I left the film with a few small questions, none of these open ends impeded me from enjoying the story whatsoever.  Sure, a bit more may’ve been nice, but you get what you get when you purchase your ticket.
 
Like Psycho, Superhost also makes the best of its storied location.  Rebecca’s house is an idyllic cottage in the forest – the perfect romantic escape for a young couple – one that could’ve easily been ripped from the pages of any travel magazine promoting storied destinations.  Though it isn’t a haunted house, the lodge gradually becomes another character as its various corners slowly reveal state-of-the-art in-home video surveillance, a door with an ever benign ‘do not enter’ sign, and a main bathroom’s toilet with the grimmest clog imaginable.  Its sparsely decorated walls and its perfectly clean floors are veritable canvasses just waiting to be filled by something.  Rarely has emptiness felt so sterile yet oppressive.
 
Also, I’d be remiss if I failed to point out that Superhost brings in one of Horror’s more celebrated players in a small role: scream queen Barbara Crampton shows up as a homeowner with an axe to grind (well, not literally, bad choices of words?) against Teddy and Claire.  It would seem their internet expose into her lodging has left her in dire straits, and she shows up seeking to extract her own form of retribution on the young couple.  It’s a fabulous misdirect on Christensen’s part: casting Crampton (a pretty big name in Horror, mind you) served up a great curveball.  I was honestly watching closely for this story to go in a completely different direction once I saw her onscreen, but can you guess my surprise when she … oh, wait … I won’t spoil that, either.
 
Lastly, I’d also be remiss if I failed to report that the picture has been the recipient of some great praise while appearing on the festival circuit.  In 2021, the flick scored the ‘Best Feature Film’ award from Miami’s Popcorn Frights Film Festival.  Also in 2021, Christensen took home the ‘Best Director’ award and Clayton Moore snagged the ‘Best Cinematography’ trophy from the Sin City Horror Fest.  Hats off to a job well done.
​

Superhost (2021) was produced by Superchill. DVD distribution (for this particular release) is being coordinated by Shudder and RLJE Films.  As for the technical specifications, I watched this one via streaming, and I experienced no loss of image or sound from start-to-finish.  As for the special features?  Again, my access was only for the film, but the promotional materials list that the Bluray will be loaded with a director’s commentary, some behind-the-scenes shorts, bloopers, and a few other niceties.  A nice collection, if you can get your hands on them!
 
Highly recommended.

​I find it refreshing when films deliver on the promises they make, and – in that respect – I suppose one might argue that Superhost played it a bit too safe, a bit too conventional, and maybe even a bit too predictable.  Still, all of this works well because it’s pure showmanship exquisitely crafted from start-to-finish.  It’s concocted with just enough panache from its creative ensemble.  I didn’t sweat such small stuff.  I’m came for the weekend, and I – unlike others – got out with my life.  Sometimes, that’s enough.  Plus, I guess I’m a sucker for good cynicism and am thankfully still young enough to enjoy a classic movie line like, “I’m not a hero.  I’m a vlogger.”  Well delivered, Osric Chau.  Well done.
 
In the interests of fairness, I’m pleased to disclose that the fine folks at RLJE Films provided me with a complimentary streaming link for Superhost (2021) by request for the expressed purposes of completing this review; and their contribution to me in no way, shape, or form influenced my opinion of it.

Stardate 01.26.2022.B: Arrow Subscription Service Continues To Whet The Appetite Of Cinema Fandom This February

Sweet mother of dragons!  Are you telling me that I'm going to have to convince the wifey to allow me to subscribe to another streaming service?!

That just may be the case as Arrow's subscription service continues to -- much like their home video releases -- blow the competition out of the water with incredible films, documentaries, and features the likes of which has them cornering the market on behind-the-scenes content.  Though some of the titles might be a bit obscure, those typically have the makings of some special experiences for those of us who like stories a bit 'different' in our regular entertainment diet.  February -- which is just around the corner, for those of you not paying attention -- looks to have a gangbuster line-up, including some old and new releases that sound dynamic.

Rather than belabor the point, let me go ahead and do the usual cut-and-paste below, so you can get it straight from the horse's mouth just what is waiting for you if you subscribe.  I dare you -- no, I triple dog dare you -- not to read on.

As always, thanks for reading ... and live long and prosper!

“Machine-metal sci-fi horror meets modern angst and anxiety”-- Horror Buzz
“A gonzo, wild adventure” -- The Hollywood News
​

London, UK - Arrow Video is excited to announce the February 2022 lineup of their new subscription-based ARROW platform, available to subscribers in the US, Canada, the UK and Ireland.

The February 2022 lineup leads with the ARROW release of David Buchanan's surrealist mayhem feature Laguna Ave, available to subscribers in the US, Canada, the UK, and Ireland. The film will debut on ARROW February 1 with a host of exclusive extras.
​

February 1 will see the exclusive debut of Laguna Ave (UK/US/CA/IRE), David Buchanan's black and white bizarre comedy and The Sleeper Must Awaken: Making Dune (UK/US/CA/IRE), a feature-length documentary exploring the making of David Lynch's film, featuring dozens of new and archive interviews with the cast and crew of the 1984 cult classic. Also available February 1 are Angel (UK/US/CA/IRE), Avenging Angel (UK/US/CA/IRE), Spookies (US/CA), Pledge Night (US/CA), Blood Harvest (UK/US/CA/IRE), The House of the Dead (UK/US/CA/IRE), Demon Wind (US/CA), and Night Train to Terror (UK/US/CA/IRE).

February 1 begins this month's Seasons with Vinegar Syndrome Collection Volume I (UK/US/CA/IRE).
​

Vinegar Syndrome restore and distribute genre and underground films, mostly those produced between the 60s and 80s, to ensure that these kinds of movies - that would typically be neglected or at the back of the line when it comes to film preservation - aren’t lost to the passage and ravage of time and the “vinegar syndrome”: the chemical reaction that destroys celluloid film.

Titles include: Angel, Avenging Angel, Blood Harvest, The House of the Dead, and Night Train to Terror. 

February 7 assembles a new Season with Man/Machine (UK/US/CA/IRE).
The fusion of flesh and metal; the forcing together of a human being with cold hard steel to create something new, something other, something cybernetic: a Man/Machine. Russell gets a taste of the power and pleasure caused by mechanically augmenting his body in Laguna Ave, and, if after watching David Buchanan's hilarious hangout cyber horror, your interest has also been piqued, then put down those pliers for a sec and beam our season of biomechatronic movies into your visual receptors first - because you might then decide you're better off steering clear of any artificial improvements or VR dalliances.

Titles include: Laguna Ave, Tetsuo: The Iron Man, Jesus Shows You the Way to the Highway, Burst City, and Dead or Alive: Final.

On February 11, ARROW hands the keys to the kingdom to filmmaker Gareth Evans (Apostle, Havoc) with Gareth Evans Selects (UK/US/CA/IRE). Evans is the writer-director of the explosive The Raid and The Raid 2, a fan favorite segment in V/H/S 2, the chilling folk horror Apostle starring Dan Stevens, this year's Havoc starring Tom Hardy, and a creator, writer and director of last year’s acclaimed summer TV sensation "Gangs of London". 

ARROW is extremely proud and pleased to present to you Gareth Evans Selects, Evans' carefully picked favorites from the ARROW vault. Full of classics and deep cuts from the length and width of ARROW’s spectrum, every selection is a firecracker - so you should most definitely choose to put an evening, or ten, in his hands.

Selections include: A Snake of June, Dark Water, Versus, Audition, and The Ballad of Narayama.

​On Valentine's Day, February 14th, Cupid puts ARROW in his bow with two Seasons that will shoot audiences straight in the heart.

Kick-start My Heart (UK/US/CA/IRE)
Action films are a different breed on ARROW. Our blow-em-ups go further than you could ever imagine and contain wilder and crazier carnage, genre crossovers and plot turns than your eyes and mind can manage. So if you’re sick of seeing hearts and flowers everywhere this Valentine’s season, turn up the volume and forget any heartaches or breaks with a selection of wild action movies unlike any you’ve seen before.
​
Titles include: The Zero Boys, Wolf Guy, White Fire, Blood Tide, and Bad Black.

The Curse of True Love (UK/US/CA/IRE)
The bard said that “the course of true love never did run smooth”, but we bet Shakespeare could never have imagined in his wildest midsummer night's dream what that would mean here on ARROW. We can be soppy romantics at this time of year too, and there are some genuinely stirring, sweet and tender love stories in this selection, but our lovey-dovey offerings may also have the odd monster, murder, zombie or ghost too.

Titles include: A Ghost Waits, Zombie for Sale, Manon, Marty Loves Katie, and The Love of a Woman.

February 18th bites into Dan Curtis' Dracula (UK/US/CA/IRE), the 1974 TV movie adaptation from the creator of "Dark Shadows".

February 21st caps this month's lineup with two films for North American subscribers. Next of Kin (US/CA):  When a young woman inherits a creaky retirement home, she'll find herself in a waking nightmare of murder, madness and a legacy of evil that may be inescapable.The atmosphere is deepened by an intense synth score by Klaus Schulze of Tangerine Dream.
​
Turkey Shoot (US/CA): In a totalitarian near future, defiant citizens are labeled "deviants" and sentenced to brutal "behavior modification" camps. But when new prisoners Anders and Walters are chosen as human prey for rich people to hunt, they will be thrust into a nightmare of depravity, dismemberment, the insane hungers of a deformed cannibal circus freak, and more.
​
Laguna Ave.: Russell, a burned-out television editor and middle-aged slacker with a prosthetic hand futilely searches for work in Hollywood's brutal, exploitative underbelly. His former boss owes him money, his partner Rita is always out of town and inaccessible, and his new downstairs neighbor, Gary keeps him awake at night with mysterious, disturbing noises. But everything changes one evening when Gary pays Russell a visit introducing him to a sinister world of an accelerationist conspiracy.
​

Picture
The brand new feature-length documentary The Sleeper Must Awaken: Making Dune chronicles the creation of David Lynch’s 1984 adaptation of Frank Herbert’s beloved sci-fi epic which starred Kyle MacLachlan, Patrick Stewart, Sean Young, Virginia Madsen, Brad Dourif, Jürgen Prochnow, Max von Sydow and Sting.

Containing dozens of new interviews, as well as archival interviews with Frank Herbert, David Lynch and members of the cast and crew, The Sleeper Must Awaken exhaustively explores the making of Dune from the well-known, and not so well-known earlier attempts to bring the story to the screen, to Lynch’s troubled production - examining every single element from script development to the shoot to post-production and the film's release.
​
Gain new insight into Dune, a film dubbed a “failure” by Lynch, but that went on to become a cult classic which we are still captivated by and talking about to this day, through the fascinating full-length making-of, The Sleeper Must Awaken: Making Dune.

Stardate 01.26.2022.A: Boss Fight Studio Bringing Classic Characters To Life In Plastic

1/26/2022

Picture
Yes, yes, and yes: like so many of you, there was a time when I was heavily into collecting action figures from a variety of product lines.  In all honesty, my main interests were (and likely always will be) DC Comics' great one-two punch of Batman and Superman, but I strayed well outside the lines when I found something on the shelves that suitably tickled my fancy.  I never spent all that much money on any one item -- though I may one day tell the story of the one that got away -- and I have as of late parted with a reasonable number of finds from the collection thanks to the consumerism giant that is Ebay.

But I digress ...

Another one of my long-term favorites has always been Flash Gordon, perhaps the original SciFi space hero.  In my mind, Flash has just never got enough love both from Hollywood and beyond, and I've long argued that it's a property -- if done right -- could be as enduringly popular as George Lucas' Star Wars.  I think the original serials from the 1930's are fabulous.  I think the cartoon and movie from the 1980's are spectacular.  While there have been a few other iterations that largely missed the mark for any number of reasons, Flash -- 'savior of the universe' -- deserves another day to win the hearts and minds of viewers.

Thankfully, it looks like he'll be getting a bit of a resurgence as Boss Fight Studio is dipping back into those days of yesteryear to bring Flash, a few of his comrades, and some other King Comics heroes to bold new life (well, in plastic anyway) with what looks to be one of those 'blind box' toy programs in 2022.  I'll be copying and pasting their release materials below, but fans who are interested in checking out the complete set (it's a bit steep for my slim budget) can follow the link right here.

Sure, I get that some of these heroes from your granddad's era might not be of insurmountable interest, but back in the day (and with some of us who still worship genre) these characters were exactly what young skulls were looking for.  They were icons of a kinder, gentler, simpler time, and I challenge readers to go out and discover them once more.  Who knows?  If they prove popular in the consumer marketplace, then you can bet movie and TV producers will be more than willing to dip back into that well for new trips to the silver screen.

Rest assured: I'd likely be first in line on opening night.

As always, thanks for reading ... and live long and prosper!
