Three brothers find the hard way that no conspiracy theory could prepare them for the worst night of their lives. There is something dangerous lurking in the skies, but it does not come from outer space.
“Falling Stars” is the new film from Gabriel Bienczycki and Richard Karpala, coming to theaters and VOD on October 11th, and it brings a tale of brooms, corpses and curses.
Set in an alternative reality where witches are not really just a myth or something that grown ups use to scare the young so they learn to behave, we meet a trio of brothers celebrating the first night of the harvest season. In said nights, rumor has it that you can see some falling stars in the sky, but these are not in fact celestial bodies from outer space, but rather witches descending to the ground in search of victims.
This is dismissed to some degree by Adam and Sal, the younger brothers, but Mike, the oldest one, seems to know better.
When you were a child, surely every time you saw a horror movie about a haunted house, you asked yourself “Why don’t they just move out?”, and chances are, now that you are an adult paying the rent you know the answer… “Because we can’t afford to rent anywhere else”. This sad truth is part of the premise of “Evil Sublet” the new horror-comedy film written and directed by Allan Piper, and that will be released on VOD on October 1st.
Here is the Official Synopsis:
“Alex and Ben find their dream apartment in New York’s East Village (AKA the eVil). Who cares if it’s cursed if the rent is cheap and it’s got an eat-in kitchen, right?
But when the bad roommate situation of living with murderous ghosts becomes too much for them, they must enlist the help of friends to escape the evil of their sublet.”
I really liked this film, A LOT. It has a lot of humor and very nice running gags that made me chuckle and even laugh aloud several times. It managed to stay balanced between comedy and horror, although it does stays a little bit more with the humor than the scares. I am not complaining, because when the movie wants to be scary, IT BECOMES SCARY. This is something we can understand from the very opening scene, that got me hooked, by the way.
Now, let me give an idea of what to expect with “Evil Sublet”.
You know that moment in some comedy films, when a joke does not land and the film drags it for too long or the joke is repeated again and again in the movie, but still is not funny? Well, this film has EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE: It has several good jokes and gags that are very subtle and go by very fast, almost a “blink and you miss it” kinda thing.
Cuando eras niño, seguramente al ver una película de terror sobre casas embrujadas te preguntabas “¿y porque no simplemente se mudan?”, y es posible que ahora que eres un adulto responsable que paga su renta sabes la respuesta “Porque no te alcanza para rentar en otro lado!”. Esta triste realidad es parte de la premisa de “Evil Sublet”, el nuevo filme de horror-comedia escrito y dirigido por Allan Piper, y que estará disponible para renta digital en Estados Unidos a partir del 1ero de Octubre.
Esta es la Sinopsis Oficial:
“Alex y Ben encuentran su departamento soñado en la parte llamada East Village de New York (Conocida también como the eVil). ¿Que importa si está maldito si la renta es barata y tiene su propio comedor en la cocina, cierto?
Pero cuando la situación de estar compartiendo la vivienda con unos fantasmas homicidas se vuelve demasiado para ellos, tendrán que pedir la ayuda de sus amigos para poder escapar a la maldad de este departamento”.
Este filme me gustó, MUCHO, la verdad. Tiene mucho humor y varias puntadas que me hicieron sonreír, y hasta solté unas carcajadas varias veces. El filme se las ingenió para mantener un balance entre la comedia y el horror, aunque si se inclina mas por el lado de la risa que los sustos. No me quejo, porque también cuando el filme se quiere poner de miedo, SE PONE DE MIEDO. Esto es algo que nos queda claro desde la primera escena, y me atrapó desde ahí.
Ahora, déjenme darles una idea de esperar con “Evil Sublet”
El plan era simple: Roba una fortuna, escóndete por un par de semanas en una granja abandonada, ten un poco de tiempo de calidad con tu hermana, haz planes para el futuro, y cuando vuelvas a tu propia época, goza tus millones. ¿Que puede salir mal?
Nomas casi todo… Porque estás invadiendo una propiedad que le pertenece a personas con habilidades mas allá de tu comprensión que no les va a gustar que uses su reino como una AirBnb, y no te dejarán ir hasta que no cumplas una misión que podría costarte mas que toda la fortuna que robaste.
Esta es la premisa de “Things Will Be Different”, un filme muy original de ciencia ficción y suspenso escrito y dirigido por Michael Felker, donde la sanidad y los lazos familiares se pondrán a prueba. Este filme se estrenará en cines selectos de Estados Unidos y en VOD el 4 de Octubre.
Vi este filme dos veces, y déjenme decirles, prepárense a que les duelan los sesos… pero en buen plan. Mientras que “Things Will Be Different” tiene (breves) momentos lentos, es un filme muy entretenido, pero si tuve que reflexionar un buen rato sobre ciertas escenas después de que la película había terminado, y eso no me había pasado desde que vi “Primer” allá por el 2004. (otra ocasión fue con “Resolution”).
The plan was simple: Rob a fortune, lay low for two weeks in an abandoned farm, spend some quality time with your estranged sister, make plans for the future, and when you come back to your own time, enjoy your millions. What could go wrong?
Just about everything… Since you are invading a property that belongs to some people with abilities beyond your comprehension that might not like that you are using their realm as an AirBnb, and won’t let you go until you comply with a mission that might cost you more than the fortune you stole.
This is the premise of “Things Will be Different”, a very original tale of suspense and science fiction written and directed by Michael Felker, where sanity and family bonds will be put to the test. This film will be released on select cinemas and VOD on October 4th.
I saw this film twice, and let me tell you, you better prepare to have your brains hurt… but in a good way. Although “Things Will Be Different” is slow at some (brief) moments, it still is an entertaining ride. But I had to reflect for some time about certain parts of the film once it ended, and that had not happened a lot since I saw “Primer” back in 2004. (“Resolution” being another occasion).
I think most of us can agree that the only thing more terrifying than seeing how expensive renting a new apartment has become, is finding yourself stuck with the worst neighbors possible and unable to move out. Monsters I can deal with, crazy neighbors that wake up at 4 A.M. to do aerobics with the TV full volume, not so much!
And being a huge fan of horror anthologies, I was very interested in “Tenants”, the new film just released on VOD this Tuesday 24th, from Cranked Up Films and that was directed by Blake Reigle, Jonathan Louis Lewis, Sean Mesler and Buz Wallick.
Here is the official synopsis:
“After waking up in an unfamiliar apartment complex, a woman desperately searches for her sister while being hunted by a shadowy figure. As she makes her way through the building, unspeakable horrors befall the tenants she interacts with.”
I would highly recommend watching the trailer AFTER seeing the film, as I think it gives away too much, and this is a film you definitely should give a chance.
But why?
Because here you will find body horror, monsters that come from everyday items, weird infections, alternate dimensions, roommates that literally try to kill each other, vengeful ghosts, and an interesting tale of a twisted way to keep a family united.
Do you need more reasons?
Some say that revenge is a dish that tastes better when served cold, but humble farmer Sam Coxe prefer his vengeance fresh… and ORGANIC.
Just released on VOD this Tuesday 24th, comes a tale of rural justice via Breaking Glass Pictures called “Hayride To Hell”, where farmer Sam (played by Bill Moseley) squares off a long time grudge with the abusive county Sheriff Jubel (played by Kane Hodder), and tries to defend the farm that has been on his family for 200 years from a wicked corrupt trio that are part of the city council and wants a big piece of his land.
After one really scary accident lands Sam in the ER, he decides that had enough abuse and makes a deal with his enemies: In three days he will put together a very especial version of the haunted hayride attraction he had run for years to make some extra income (much to the dislike of the council and the sheriff), and if he manages to scare the living daylights of them, they will leave him alone for once and for all, As you might imagine, if he fails, he will have to sell the land as the counsel demands.
