4 d. ago Alpha review – Julia Ducournau’s disjointed body horror is an absolute gamma

Cannes film festivalThe winner of the Palme d’Or for Titane delivers Cannes’ first true turkey: the tonally inept tale of a girl with a dodgy tattoo and a disease that turns people to marbleStrident, oppressive, incoherent and weirdly pointless from first to last Julia Ducournau’s new film Alpha has to be the most bewildering disappointment of this year’s Cannes competition; even an honest lead performance from Mélissa Boros can’t retrieve it.I admit I was agnostic about her much-acclaimed Palme d’Or winner Titane from 2021 but that had an energised purpose lacking in Alpha and Ducournau’s excellent 2016 debut Raw is still easily her best work.

9 d. ago Sound of Falling review – intergenerational angst haunts a German farmhouse

Cannes film festival Told in four different timeframes in the same rural family home, this story of national guilt and yearning is powerfully unsettlingHere is a mysterious and uncanny prose-poem of guilt, shame and yearning in 20th-century Germany, and the 21st; a drama of intergenerational trauma and genetic memories, visions and experiences suppressed and handed on to descendants and grandchildren in whom they can return as neurotic symptoms of the repressed.There are visual rhymes and unexplained cosmic echoes, and the film speaks of militarism and resentment, guilt and horror, with dark hints of abuse and sterilisation, the female slavery of domestic servitude and the pastoral world of rural Germany in which the city’s political currents are only dimly perceived. And it gestures at the terrible pathos of the old GDR, which laboured and sacrificed for 40 years after the war in Soviet vassalage finally to discover it was for nothing. The film’s original German title is In Die Son...

1 week ago Final Destination: Bloodlines review – death is back and more fun than ever

The jubilantly gory horror franchise returns with a hugely entertaining sixth installment which sets up an entire family tree for the slaughterFinal Destination, the giddy and splatterific franchise where the grim reaper finds increasingly cartoonish and comical ways to get back at those who think they’ve cheated death, has been sitting things out for more than a decade. Maybe that’s telling.In the time since, we saw the rise of so-called “elevated horror”, a trend that arguably began with 2014’s The Babadook and enjoyed its biggest success with last fall’s Longlegs. Those earnestly artful films tend to shrug off the horror genre’s baser pleasures to instead mine drama, trauma and influences such as Stanley Kubrick, Roman Polanski and Nicolas Roeg. For those feeling a bit trauma-fatigued, I’m happy to say Final Destination is not only back but better than ever. Continue reading...

2 w. ago It Feeds review – spooky supernatural chiller that loads up on tasty jump

A psychic psychiatrist perceives a wraith latching on to people in this neatly-realised, if somewhat familiar, beastie-horrorThere are two species of beastie horror: your robust, reality-tethered monster movie starring a hungry shark, rogue crocodile or big snake, and the more supernatural kind in which the malevolent entity is not human, but perhaps more human-ish – your Babadooks, Bughuuls and Nosferati. It Feeds is in the latter category, about a shadowy thing whose MO is attaching to people and, per the title, feeding on them. He’ll seem familiar if you’re au fait with the likes of The Conjuring and Insidious, but he is at least neatly realised by the FX team.Heading the human cast is Ashley Greene, known to Twilight fans as peppy clairvoyant vampire Alice Cullen. She is once more tapping into the supernatural here as psychic psychiatrist Cynthia Winstone, who is able to perceive the entity and is terrified of getting involved – although given the demands of the genre, we know t...
