/slash 2014 – Day 3: What We Do in the Shadows

What We Do In The ShadowsWhat We Do in the Shadows
New Zealand 2014
Written by Jemaine Clement & Taika Waititi
Directed by Jemaine Clement & Taika Waititi

“What We Do in the Shadows” was a blast from start to finish. THIS is how you make a great mockumentary. As you might have noticed, I’m not the biggest fan of that style, but here it’s used wisely and enhances the movie considerably. Which again works as a perfect reminder that it’s less the tools per se that are good or bad, but how you use it. The idea that someone would shoot a documentary about vampire-roomies living in a flat in Wellington… genius. But it’s not just the concept; Jemaine Clement & Taika Waititi also squeeze out every bit of humor that you would expect from a movie like that. They pretty much won me over with the glorious first scene alone, with the alarm clock. The introduction of the different vampires who live in the flat was great, too. After we’ve settled in, the movie pretty much offers a laugh a minute, but despite that, it’s not a hollow affair. For such a silly concept and movie, it’s remarkable that they actually managed to squeeze in a couple of touching, emotional scenes. The message of the movie seems to be: Vampires are only human, after all!

The jokes are not only hilarious, but sometimes also quite clever, especially when they deal with the typical rules, abilities, limitations and challenges that come with being a vampire, like that someone actually has to invite you in (especially annoying when you’d like to visit the newest, hippest dance club, but can’t get past the bouncer), their skill to hypnotize people (which they sometimes use to play tricks on their victims), their rivalry with werewolves (which is treated like the feud between fans of rivaling football clubs) or the fact that they don’t see their reflection in the mirror (which makes dressing up quite a challenge). But it’s not just the jokes that make this movie incredibly funny, but also its characters. I especially loved Viago, whom I found hilarious, but the others are great too. Clement and Waititi do a great job to give all the vampires totally different personalities, which makes for an interesting dynamic between the flatmates. The cast and the direction are great, too. However, the main star here is the script/the story. If you’re a fan of horror in general or vampires in particular, and prefer your humor on the dark and/or twisted side, you’ll have a bloody good time!

/slash 2014 – Day 3: Ich seh ich seh (Goodnight Mommy)

Posted on September 23, 2014 by cornholio1980

Ich seh ich sehIch seh ich seh
Austria 2014
Written by Veronika Franz & Severin Fiala
Directed by Veronika Franz & Severin Fiala

So, turns out I was wrong with my guess for the first surprise movie. I actually already learned what it would be last thursday at the premiere. As soon as my /slash-buddy Maynard mentioned “Ich seh ich seh” (translated: I see I see, which is the german version of the popular children’s game “I spy”), it was so obvious that I couldn’t understand why I didn’t see it (no pun intended). The two writers-directors are long-time friends with the crew of the /slash Filmfestival, so it actually would have been quite surprising if they wouldn’t have shown their first feature film. As soon as I heard that this was going to be the first surprise movie, I wasn’t too excited though, since I had already seen it a couple of months before, in unfinished form, at a testscreening. And while I thought that it was ok, it didn’t thrill me in a way that I felt I needed to see it again so soon. On the other hand, since testscreenings are a rather rare affair in Austria, I kinda was excited to see the finished movie and compare it to the one that I saw before. Thus, I went into this screening with a weird mix of anticipation and reluctance.

Well… my reluctance only shows how little I know – despite all those making of-features on DVDs and stuff – about the real, actual making of movies, and the difference between some kind of workprint and the final version. Because in its finished form, I liked “Ich seh ich seh” a lot better than on my first viewing (where I would have given it a 5/10). They tightened the movie, the new music and sound effects made it much more gripping and scary, and the overall flow of the movie was much better than in the version that I saw in april. They also fixed one of my major problems back then, because one of the final scenes seemed to give what until then had been a great psychological thriller a supernatural twist. I still would have prefered if they wouldn’t have shown the person in the background during that particular scene with the house (I’m staying vague enough to not give anything away, but hopefully clear enough that once you’ve seen the movie you’ll be able to guess what I meant), but in the finished version they at least made clear that it was a POV-shot of one of the characters, which made it ok. And for whatever reason, the scene with the fund-raisers from the Red Cross, which kinda fell flat in the testscreening, worked for me this time, and was one of the highlights of the movie. Weird. My only complaint about the finished version: They relocated the “juice”-scene, which I think made the twist ending even more obvious than it was before. Then again, since I already knew the big twist, I’m probably not qualified to testify about that.

However, I do believe that most horror fans will figure out where this is going, some sooner, some later. I do believe that one of the early scenes actually is a dead giveaway, even though they manage to take your mind off it again later, with everything that’s going on in the house, and the dynamic between the mum and her children. Still, I’m pretty sure that most will already have figured it out before it is finally revealed within the movie. Thus, the twist is less of a shock than it is a confirmation, which for me is also the biggest problem of the movie. Other than that, it mostly works great, though. It puts the famous german lullabies “Guten Abend, gut’ Nacht” and “Weißt du, wieviel Sternlein stehen” to great, creepy use. The movie itself is a perfect combination of scary and – later – gory, with some scenes that I found difficult to watch even on second viewing. Both kids as well as Susanne Wuest give great, natural performances, and for a while, they as well as the writer-directors make you guess what’s going on. The family dynamic is pretty much off from the start, but the “what” and “why” are only slowly explained, and even though I found the ultimate destination predictable, it should keep you guessing at least for a while about what exactly is going on here.

The location is great, and they also had some luck with the weather conditions – the scene in the hailstorm looks absolutely incredible. The whole movie is extremely well shot; in that regard, it’s a great continuation of the trend that for me started with Andreas Prochaska and his “In 3 Tagen bist du tot” (international title: “Dead in 3 days”)-films, which did look like they might as well have come straight out of Hollywood. I still think that the second “In 3 Tagen bist du tot”-movie was slighty better (despite the nonsensical final twist) than this, but nevertheless, for an austrian horror movie, and especially one from two first time (feature film) directors, “Ich seh ich seh” is a very impressive outing, and I can’t wait to see what they have in store for us next.

/slash 2014 – Day 3: Die Gstettensaga – The Rise of Echsenfriedl

Posted on September 23, 2014 by cornholio1980

Die GstettensagaDie Gstettensaga: The Rise of Echsenfriedl
Austria 2014
Written by Johannes Grenzfurthner & Roland Gratzer
Directed by Johannes Grenzfurthner

While writing a scathing review of a bad movie can be fun occasionally – and may sometimes feel like well-deserved payback for valuable lifetime stolen – it becomes way less funny when you have to slam a movie where there’s just the slightest chance that the people involved may actually read it. Or at least it is for me. So it is with a heavy heart that I have to tell you that “Die Gstettensaga” mostly didn’t work for me. It’s all ambition, but little talent and even less budget. In a way, the fact that they took as little money as they got and actually tried to make a postapocalyptic movie with it impresses me. Then again, something can be said about knowing your limits, and not overreaching. Of course, an ambitious failure is still better than a bland, unimaginative failure, but for me, “Die Gstettensaga: The Rise of Echsenfriedl” is ample proof that ambition only gets you so far.

First of all: This movie is a highly regional affair, made in Austria by Austrians and above all FOR Austrians. It’s full of local allusions that even most germans won’t get. Some of them I enjoyed (like “Niederpröll”), others felt a little forced. I also liked the concept and some ideas, but overall, the movie was way more miss than hit for me. The musical-scene fell especially flat. It was totally out of place, went on for far too long, and was extremely boring. It also wasn’t just me. There was zero vibe in the audience during that scene, which really seemed to work for almost no one. I really wish they would have taken the money that scene cost and spent it on a better lead actor instead. Because while Sophia Grabner actually gives a more than decent performance, I found Lukas Tagwerker to be absolutely terrible (sorry, guy). I do not consider myself talented acting-wise at all, but I feel that even I would have been able to give a better, more natural performance. Granted, the script doesn’t help him, and overall I’d say my issues with the caracter are “just” 50% with the acting, and the other 50% are the writing, but still.

There are a couple of nice ideas and great moments, though. I loved the idea of the “google wars”, the new world order after the apocalypse, some of the locations where this was shot, as well as the critical approach to the media. Also, there were a few scenes where the humor actually worked for me, with the border control a stand-out in particular. That was just inspired and had me laughing my ass off. I only wish the rest of the movie would have been able to entertain me even half as much as that brilliant individual scene.

/slash 2014 – Day 3: Sakasama no Patema (Patema Inverted)

Posted on September 23, 2014 by cornholio1980

Patema InvertedSakasama no Patema (Patema Inverted)
Japan 2013
Written by Yasuhiro Yoshiura
Directed by Yasuhiro Yoshiura

At first glance, the concept of “Patema Inverted” may be reminiscent of “Upside Down”, the SF-romance with Kirsten Dunst and Jim Sturgess, but apart from the idea of reversed gravity, they couldn’t be more different. While “Upside Down” did a decent job of selling the idea of a world standing on its head, I do believe that the concept actually lends itself to animation, which gives you a lot more freedom to pretty much do whatever you want. Something that Yasuhiro Yoshiura uses to great effect. There are many impressive shots, and the way that the movie played with the different perspective of both lead characters was great. The movie looks absolutely incredible; the animation here is so beautiful that you’ll wish that there would be more classic 2D-animation movies instead of one 3D-CGI-fest after another. I also liked how they gave the impression that there really is a camera “on location” filming those scenes, like with raindrops on the lens etc.

But it’s not just the visuals; the story is beautiful and quite touching too. “Patema Inverted” tells what seems to be an impossible love story, with an adolescent girl and boy from different worlds – in the truest sense of the word – falling for each other. It’s helped by some great voice acting and a beautiful score, even though the music can be a little repetitive here and there. What I didn’t like: The main villain is very generic. Despite the fact that I felt quite entertained, for some reason the movie felt longer than it’s less-than-100 minutes, which isn’t the best sign. Maybe that’s due to all those twists and turns. I expected the movie to end multiple times before it finally did. Also: The twist at the end was a little strange. It may have been poetic, but I’m not sure if/how it’s supposed to make any sense. However, the impressive and beautiful visuals, the neat concept, the touching love story as well as a healthy dose of social critisism make this a must-see for every Anime- and/or SF-fan.

/slash 2014 – Day 2: R100

Posted on September 22, 2014 by cornholio1980

R100R100
Japan 2013
Written by Hitoshi Matsumoto, Mitsuyoshi Takasu, Tomoji Hasegawa, Kôji Ema & Mitsuru Kuramoto
Directed by Hitoshi Matsumoto

Given it’s premise, the fact that it sounded like a mix of “Quitters Inc.”, “Fight Club” and “The Game” as well as the fact that the director came highly recommended (I hadn’t seen one of his movies yet), I had high hopes for this one. Unfortunately, it soooo wasn’t my cup of tea. It started of promising, with that first kick in the restaurant, and then the flashback to when he went to the Bondage-club to sign up (the carousel-scene was particularly great), as well as some tense moments when the dominas also came to his work at later even to his home, and he decides he wants to quit. Unfortunately, it all was far too weird for me. The strange puffy face with that ripple-effect laid over it, the queen of voices, the spit-queen… all of those were already weird enough, but even they couldn’t prepare me for what came afterwards. I think it was the gobbler where the movie finally lost me. After that, I kinda knew that everything was possible. I expected the unexpected, so every new element that came in only made me shrug, but didn’t surprise or shock me. I just couldn’t take it seriously anymore.

I also hated the meta-level. As soon as we saw those guys standing there I already knew what was going on, so again, the humor fell completely flat for me. And it was so totally out of the blue and didn’t fit with the rest of the movie. He tried to be clever and comment about his own movie, but at least for me, it didn’t work. Especially since commenting about a potential plot hole doesn’t make the plot hole go away. It may be intended as ironic, but to me, it felt rather lazy. Like instead of finding a way to explain it, we just let someone comment on how stupid that was. Ha ha, very clever. Not. The showdown then was completely crazy, but not in a good way. The main protagonist (the IMDB doesn’t tell me his name, and I don’t recall, sorry) uses hand granades to bomb one Domina-Ninja-squad away after the other, and it just got dull and uninteresting very quickly. And the final twist again was completely shrug-worthy to me. The finale featured one good scene though: The “Ode to Joy” and the musical scale. That was inspired, and actually made me laugh. Other than that, this movie was no Ode to Joy for me at all.*
3/10

* = In the interest of full disclosure: Many people in the audience laughed their asses off. So maybe it’s just me. If you’re a fan of weird japanese cinema – and, for example, like those japanese segments from “The ABCs of Death” that I couldn’t stand – you might as well give it a try.

/slash 2014 – Day 2: Housebound

Posted on September 22, 2014 by cornholio1980

HouseboundHousebound
New Zealand 2014
Written by Gerard Johnstone
Directed by Gerard Johnstone

THAT’S how you make a great horror comedy! “Housebound” is a highly entertaining flick, that perfectly (and frequently) shifts between very funny and truly scary. It has a very good plot, with lots of nice twists and turns, that keeps you guessing where it all may ultimately lead, and at least I wouldn’t have predicted the final couple of revelations. I especially loved the explanation concerning the “ghost”. It may not be very original or even plausible, but there are so many movies that when offering a possible supernatural and a potential down-to-earth explanation [SPOILER!] go with the former [/SPOILER] that I found it refreshing when “Housebound”, to my complete surprise, went in the other direction.

The movie does a very good job to make us sympathize with its lead character, the titular housebound Kylie Bucknell, who gets an ankle monitor after a cash dispenser-bust goes horribly wrong – which obviously is a great plot device for a “haunted house”-movie, since it offers a neat answer to that often-nagging question “Why don’t they simply go somewhere else?”. Kylie isn’t always nice, and neither Gerard Johnstone nor Morgana O’Reilly shy away from risking that the audience may lose patience with her from time to time, but I do believe that this pays off very nicely afterwards, because all of her flaws make her look like a real character, and not one of those dull clichè-ridden potential victims that we get shoved down our throaths in too many other horror movies.

Morgana O’Reilly is stunning the lead, and gives a varied, multi-layered performance. The script is great too, and not just because of the way the story unfolds. It also offers many great dialoges and some very funny scenes. Despite the humor, when “Housebound” gets scary, it gets really scary. The movie offers some tense scenes that had me on the edge of my seat. And where some other horror movies drop the ball when it comes to the last act, “Housebound” delivers in that regard too, with a gripping showdown and an awesome final kill. There are only two things that prevent me from rating it even higher: Some scenes (like the one with her step dad) and revelations (f.e. when it comes to the neighbour) were a little predictable, and with 110 minutes, it might be a tad too long for its own good. Other than that, I had a great time, and hope that you will too.

/slash 2014 – Day 2: Suburban Gothic

Posted on September 22, 2014 by cornholio1980

Suburban GothicSuburban Gothic
USA 2014
Written by Richard Bates Jr. & Mark Bruner
Directed by Richard Bates Jr.

“Suburban Gothic” is the new movie by Richard Bates Jr., wo made the awesome, distburbing “Excision” a couple of years ago. I’m only mentioning this so that I can tell you to immediately forget it again. Seriously… get “Excision” out of your head before watching “Suburban Gothic”. Not just because his follow-up doesn’t play in the same league quality-wise, it’s also a completely different movie. While “Excision” had some (albeit dark) humor in it, it mostly was a gloomy and unsettling affair. This is much more leight-weighted, and overall, mostly a comedy with some horror elements, instead of the other way around. So if you go into this expecting another “Excision”, you’ll end up disappointed.

Which is not to say that there’s nothing to enjoy in his latest offering. My favorite part of the movie was its lead character. He’s a little bit of a wimp, very sensitive, and soooo not manly/macho at all… in other words: Not your typical movie hero. I loved that, especially since despite this, he doesn’t come across as a dork, and he still manages to save the day in the end. That was very refreshing. I also enjoyed most of the humor. There are some very funny scene, f.e. when he meets a girl that he has only seen online before (to say more would spoil the surprise). The cast is good (with a special mention to the always great Kat Dennings), and despite all the humor, there are a couple of scenes where Bates really amps up the tension.

By far the weakest link of the movie is it’s story, which is a mash-up of your regular ghost movie tropes, and feels very familiar. Also, apart from stand-out Raymond, the rest of the characters are rather bland and clichéd; especially his father. I know that there are many dads like that, but I don’t have to be reminded of that in every second movie. I also wasn’t too fond of the very digital look of the movie. Also, it was very stilized, with heightened colors, which may have been nice for a couple of minutes, but got tired rather quickly. Finally, some of the CGI – f.e. the toenails – was really bad. Overall, it’s a funny and charming movie, but nothing special, and a far cry from his socks off-knocking debut feature.
6/10

/slash 2014 – Day 2: Knights of Badassdom

Posted on September 22, 2014 by cornholio1980

Knights of BadassdomKnights of Badassdom
USA 2013
Written by Kevin Dreyfuss & Matt Wall
Directed by Joe Lynch

“Knights of Badassdom” starts out pretty strong, with two friends carrying off Winston, who just got dumped by his girlfriend, to a huge LARP-event. They do a good job setting it up, introducing different characters, and make LARPing look like a lot of fun. I don’t think that “Knights of Badassdom” needed the supernatural angle; just show us this guys fighting on a LARP-quest. At least for me that would have been more than enough, but I guess they felt that the stakes wouldn’t have been high enough. Thus, they included a demon, and I believe that as soon they introduced it, the movie got worse and worse with every passing minute. First of all: While it’s definitely mostly a comedy, the demon kills one LARPer after the other, and in the end Winston and his friends stumble upon a field of dead bodies. And even after that, we’re supposed to laugh with and about the movie, with a totally weird, over the top showdown. When doing a horror comedy, it’s really difficult to get the tone right, and I strongly believe that “Knights of Badassdom” mostly failed on that regard.

What I liked: The cast is good. Peter Dinklage is great in everything, of course (even though his role here isn’t even half as good as Tyrion Lannister), and it’s always good to see Summer Glau. I also loved that the character who was kind of a dick didn’t become a demon worshipper or anything, but actually worked with the good guys. That (positively) surprised me. There are a couple of funny scenes. I enjoyed this little look into the world of LARPs. And the dragon in the end was hilarious. I also think that as much as I hated the demon-angle, at least his first appearance as Winstons ex-girlfriend was well done. However, he then changed into this monster, and that didn’t work for me at all. Also, the showdown fell completely flat for me. I guess it was supposed to be this funny, kick-ass moment, but it didn’t do anything for me, and given the fact that there were almost no cheers in the audience, my guess is that I wasn’t alone in that. So overall, unfortunately, “Knights of Badassdom” was more miss than hit for me. +4 for Peter Dinklage, Summer Glau, the promising start and the funny (but respectful) LARP-scenes.

/slash 2014 – Day 1: Im Keller (In the Basement)

Posted on September 19, 2014 by cornholio1980

Im KellerIm Keller
Austria 2014
Written by Veronika Franz & Ulrich Seidl
Directed by Ulrich Seidl

“Im Keller” very much felt like a special made-for-the-cinema episode of Elizabeth T. Spira’s “Alltagsgeschichten”, an Austrian show from the ORF that ran a while back, and focused on interviews with people in a certain area, like the Rennbahnsiedlung (a living area with a rather bad reputation) or the Donauinsel, offering a portrait of the area and the people who are living there, finding a nice balance between the mundane and the weird. “Im Keller” is less about a specific area than a specific place in your home, or simply your life: The basement, be it literally or figuratively, where we hide our innermost desires, our secrets, and parts of our self that we usually hide in public. After a couple of high-profile and truly disturbing cases of despicable things going on in Austrian cellars (like the kidnapping and subsequent yearslong captivity of Natasha Kampusch, or the Fritzl-case, who kept his daugther and her children – fathered by him – jailed in his cellar), its probably apt that filmmaker Ulrich Seidl, who continuously tries to shock and startle people with his movies and documentaries, decided to push into these dark corners of (Austrian?) civilisation, in order to bring some of them into the light. The result is a movie that I found sometimes sad, sometimes disturbing, always entertaining, and mostly harmless.

First of all: Kudos to all the people that agreed to let us peak into their “basements” (again, literally and figuratively) and go out in the open like that. I sincerely hope that there weren’t any repercussions; if I were in their place, I don’t think that I would be able to deal with that – the fact that everyone now knows about these things. So a huge thank you to everyone involved, I do believe that you’re all incredibly brave human beings (hell, even the “cellar nazi” – in the truest sense of the word; which does NOT mean that I sympathize with his world view in any way). Ultimately, whenever you make a documentary like that, where you show people that deviate a little bit from what society considers the norm, you tread a fine line between showing them, and showing them up. And while there definitely are certain scenes that had me laughing about them, instead of with them, ultimately I don’t think that the movie is guilty of that. It’s just a very honest portrait, showing a side of those people that they usually hide; showing them for who and what they are – with all their flaws, frailties, desires and peculiarities. And ultimately, most of them seemed like a nice – if unusual – bunch of people. I do not need to understand or even share their peculiarities in order to feel some kind of affection for (most of) them.

As entertaining as the movie was, and even though it offered some moments and/or statements that I’ll remember for quite a while, I didn’t find it particular startling, shocking or revealing. So there are people in Austria that still mourn after Hitler and the National Socialism? That’s nothing new; I just have to look at election results to notice that (even though, disturbingly, the young voters of the FPÖ slowly but surely seem to outnumber the so-called “Altnazis”, thus shattering my hope that this particular kind of stupidity will die out with that generation). There are some gun fanatics and people that practice BDSM? Well, if that’s what they wanna do, let them. As long as they don’t hurt anyone (or said hurt happens consensually), I have no problem with that. So, if “Im Keller” was meant to shock, than I’m sorry to say that at least with me, it didn’t achieve that effect; to be honest, it hardly even made me feel uncomfortable (and if it did, it usually was because of something xenophobic that was said by some of them). I also think that they put a little too much emphasis on the BDSM-stuff (half the time, the movie might as well be called “In the dungeon”). Besides, there were some weird staged shots that didn’t work for me: People sitting or standing in their basements, staring into the camera. It might have been interesting to learn something about them, if they would have been interviewed, but as it stands, I found those scenes to be very pointless. Ultimately – and as weird as that may sound – I had a good time with the movie; however, I’m not quite sure if that was (all) that Ulrich Seidl intended with it.

/slash 2014: And so it begins…

Posted on September 18, 2014 by cornholio1980

First things first: A huge thank you to everyone who liked my posts or started following my blog in the last couple of days! 🙂 Fair warning, though: My taste in movies can be somewhat… special. Still, I hope that even though you will definitely not always agree with me, you will at least always understand why I formed my particular opinion.

After my preludes, a lot of preparation, and a huge buildup of anticipation, the fifth /slash Filmfestival finally starts today. It’s gonna be a wild, crazy ride… and also a ridiculously busy 11 days. You can expect a review of todays opening night screening “Im Keller” tomorrow… but after that, all bets are off. I might manage to squeeze out 1-2 reviews on Saturday and Sunday in the “morning” before I leave again for the cinema, but chances are I’ll sleep in for as long as I can; in that case, further reviews will appear starting next monday. Here’s an alphabetical list of the 36 movies that I’m gonna see and write about within the next couple of days:

Afflicted • Alleluia • Among the Living • Die Gstettnsaga: The Rise of Echsenfriedl • Escape from Tomorrow • Honeymoon • Housebound • Im Keller • Inside • It Follows • Jamie Marks Is Dead • Killers • Knights of Badassdom • La Danza De La Realidad • Late Phases • Live • Oculus • Patema Inverted • Puzzle • R100 • Stage Fright • Starry Eyes • Suburban Gothic • The ABCs of Death 2 • The Babadook • The Canal • The Midnight After • The Tale of Princess Kaguya • The Toxic Avenger • These Final Hours • What We Do in the Shadows • Wolf Creek 2 • Wolfcop • and 3 surprise movies!

Here’s a link to the screening schedule -> 11 Days of Horror.

After I’m finally done working off all those movie reviews, there will also be a 5-part “aftermath to /slash” to go along with my prelude. But that’s still a long way off. Also, be sure to check out my fellow bloggers Kalafudra and Maynard, who will also write movie reviews for this years /slash Filmfestival, for a different take on those films, as well as some movies from this years programming that I’ll skip for quality of life- or simple scheduling conflict-reasons.

Happy /slashing!
