With all the talk and praise about how Gothic cinema is so back, I really hope to see people keep this energy up if/when Mārama releases internationally. This looks like it's going to be a really gorgeous film and not only is it one of the first Aotearoa/New Zealand Gothic films, but it's specifically a Māori Gothic horror.
And don't even get me started on the poster design!! I gasped when I saw the tag line on the trailer
Whakapapa. Whānau. Utu.
I like what ive seen so far of Ariana, I enjoyed her as Tui in Madam earlier last year, so I'm excited to see her step up into this leading role.
