#31DaysofHorror Day 3: Under the Shadow (2016, dir. Babak Anvari)

holy shit i did not expect it to be this good. i don't have much coherent to say because it's half past midnight and my heart is beating out of my chest. that doesn't happen often with horror films, but here the tension just got higher and higher and higher until i felt just as trapped and panicked as shideh. narges rashidi is fucking magnetic in this role and her performance completely carries the film. the text is so rich with politics, socioeconomics, violence, trauma, gender, family. the way the house turns from a place of safety into the embodiment of the haunting through an act of violence. good stuff.

New Horror 2022 - Day 15

(Art from this incredible anthology by Richard Wells.)

"The Summer People" by Shirley Jackson (1950) "I wonder if we’re supposed to… do anything."

This really got me. I’ve had aging and choosing a place to settle (if ever) on my mind recently and this just hits all the right points for me to feel creeped out about the future.

===

"Don't Go to the Island" by Sfé R. Monster & Kalyna Riis-Phillips (2016) "The skulls at your feet are laughing at you."

It’s been almost all white American men in my horror comics this month, so I’m pivoting to other creators and eras. Fortunately, the Bones of the Coast anthology has that and also focuses on the Pacific Northwest, undoubtedly my favorite region. It’s a good pairing with the Jackson story. A moody coastal vibe, the gray sky threatening something that doesn’t reveal itself immediately, but instead lingers behind trees and corners, watching and waiting.

===

Under the Shadow dir. Babak Anvari (2016) "Dead people can't dream."

This was great, in that it captures an intimate story of two people trapped by the weight of political erosion and violence very well. It’s a slow simmer movie, building up slowly and then explicitly, asking if anyone can ever really escape the horror they’ve experienced.

I Came By.

Inwiefern es gesellschaftlich relevant oder gar Kunst (macht viel Arbeit) ist, bei reichen Leuten einzubrechen und ihre Wohnung mit Graffiti zu verzieren, ist eine Frage, die im momentan vielbeachteten  I Came By zwar, um uns auf eine falsche Fährte zu locken, aufgeworfen, aber zugunsten einer schlicht konstruierten Thrillerhandlung letztlich nicht beantwortet wird. Diese ist durch den konsequenten Verzicht auf genreübliche Entspannungsmomente und die grandiose Hugh-Bonneville-Show zwar ziemlich nervenaufreibend geworden, man kann sich aber des Eindrucks nicht ganz entwehren, daß man daraus, wohin sich die Ausgangssituation auch hätte entwickeln können, wenn sie eben nicht nur ein Ablenkungsmanöver gewesen wäre, im Gegensatz zu dem gediegenen Gruselstückchen, das es geworden ist, auch noch einen wesentlich interessanterer Film hätte machen können.
