slash 2020 | day 10 final official day at slash filmfestival. over so soon... π’ a little bit left tomorrow but still... today the 'matinee der 1000 messer' made its debut. 4 films in a row, starting at 10:00. super quick notes. 1οΈβ£ nobody does action splatter movies like the japanese, with their carefree everything goes attitude and imagination. RISE OF THE MACHINE GIRLS is a shining example. 2οΈβ£ mega-horror-comedy-genre-mash-up-anthology SCARE PACKAGE had tons of super fun practical fx. but a lot of the jokes were not equally as fun. 3οΈβ£ uncle lloyd, as offensive and juvenile as ever with #SHAKESPEARESSHITSTORM but the troma recipe is getting a bit worn down. needs some refurbishing maybe? still good ol' troma-style raised-middlefinger fun. 4οΈβ£ SLAXX. already seen. thus skipped. went for food instead. π
liked the concept of doing this during the day. glad to have a repeat at future slash filmfestivals. π moving on to the evening with teenage mystery DAS SCHAURIGE HAUS - definitely not the core audience for this one, but it was cute enough. also: more snails. π»π»ππ modern version of found footage is live-streamed footage, i guess. SPREE skillfully represents this genre, plus manages to add some relevant commentary as well. π±π±π±π±πΆπ΄ and finally HUNTED started off strongly and brought a song quote to my mind: 'men are scared women will laugh in their face / whereas women are scared it's their lives men will take' [idles - 'mother']... but then there was a tonal shift into silliness... and then another one into something else i can't describe... not sure what to make of this one... and there's this whole red riding hood trope inversion going on but wasn't fully committed to or felt unresolved or... i don't know... π€π€π€ #slashfilmfestival #riseofthemachinegirls #scarepackage #shakespearesshitstorm #dasschaurigehaus #spree #hunted https://www.instagram.com/p/CFnmlSyl_qbCxiiDxShD3E0zb9ysIBU21hkW200/?igshid=1elqfu3xsu98k
