Their latest target, played by Ashleigh Cummings, is drugged and abducted as a prelude to gut-churning horrors that range from perverse fetishes to real-world sadism.

The Australian serial killer thriller stars Emma Booth and Stephen Curry as predators who prey on young girls. Hounds Of Loveīen Young’s directorial debut, Hounds of Love, is as vicious and brutal a debut film as you can find. It's a clever exercise that proves how horror starts with sentences and characters before any visual effects are turned gory or grotesque, making the most of lower budgets by telling of terror without the need to show. Werewolves won't appear when Ruben tells a werewolf story, for example - entertainment is in a storyteller's annunciation and presence, which all actors convey splendidly. Imaginations run wild when their descriptions come alive, as Ruben and co-star Aya Cash (and SNL's Chris Redd) entertain using nothing but emphatic campfire tactics to raise chills that are impressive in their simplicity. Two writers in cabins seeking rejuvenated creative juices spend time during a power outage telling each other scary tales to prove who's the better wordsmith. Josh Ruben's debut spotlights the power behind a well-told story. How dare an overseas period piece be spooky and informative! Scare Me It’s a story that oozes fear based on Taiwan’s tragic past without sacrificing these searing glimpses of horror between monsters, hangings, and other ghoulish accents that exploit the genre’s frightening efficiencies. Horrors are a mixture of government oppression and ghastly deities who resemble The Crooked Man, living at the intersection of historical terrors and demonic symbolism. High school students find themselves under martial law in 1962 Taiwan, where reading certain books is enough to earn the death sentence. Detentionĭetention is based on a Taiwanese video game that blends national traumas with hints of Silent Hill and international survival horror games like DreadOut. It’s a futile film to explain as possessions, nude seductresses, and cloven-hoofed devils cycle through scenes at random, yet must be experienced by anyone who loves cheesy midnighters with extra cheese overflowing everywhere.

This movie has everything! Magicians who know karate, Lou Diamond Phillips dressed as a boil-covered demon, animal transformations - except there’s no wind, just fog? Demon Wind doesn’t understand pacing, character development, or most other technical merits of cinema, but sure does make for an endlessly entertaining stream for maybe-not-sober watch parties. Demon Windĭemon Wind is an unintentionally bad-good 90s horror masterpiece that tries to recreate Evil Dead but fails so miserably that it boomerangs back to being amazing. As if the threat of plummeting to your death isn’t enough, weaponry and traps are added into the mix for the ultimate outdoorsy terror that utilizes the bleak isolation of Mother Nature to tremendous effects.
Melissa George stars in this free-falling descent into criminal dangers, as Gilbey finds horror both in hunters shooting innocents and climbers dangling off rock faces while bastards sabotage their trek. Then the action transfers to a local town that at least endangers characters on solid ground. Mountain climbers in the Scottish Highlands discover a kidnapped girl, and her nefarious captors pursue the rescue party through ravines and while rappelling downward. So there you go.Julian Gilbey mixes genre experiences in his survivalist thriller A Lonely Place to Die. Upon doing a little research, it so happens that David Gilmour discovered Kate Bush when she was 16-years-old and was instrumental in her first two records. Of the 5 tracks on Side A, 4 made appearances in the charts ‘Cloudbusting’ and ‘Hounds Of Love’ were top 20 & ‘The Big Sky’ top 40 but the major hit was a song that would become one of her signatures, the #3-charting ‘Running Up That Hill.’ Side 2 reminded me a lot of David Gilmour’s ‘80s incarnation of Pink Floyd.
Traditionally a male-dominated genre, Bush sang about love and passion from a women’s perspective.
‘Hounds Of Love’ is a concept record of sorts, an LP of two suites Side 1 ‘Hounds Of Love,’ Side 2 ‘The Ninth Wave,’ about a woman drifting alone in the sea at night.Ĭonsidered a Prog Rock album, Bush flipped the genre on its head. Following the disappointing performance of her 4th album, ‘The Dreaming,’ Bush built a 24-track studio in barn behind her family home, where she proceeded to record demos for the follow up, ‘Hounds Of Love.’ Deciding that she liked the demos so much, Bush chose not to re-record them, but rather enhanced them by adding performances by live musicians in amongst her synth music.
