The Victim (2011)

I’ll tell you who the real victim is: me, for sitting through this weak, unoriginal, predictable, poorly shot, limply acted, terribly written quote-Grindhouse-unquote film. The only good thing about The Victim is that Michael Bienh only wasted $800,000 making it.

After Annie (Jennifer Blanc) learns a police officer (Ryan Honey) murdered her friend Mary (Danielle Harris), she overhears him conspiring with a friend (Denny Kirkwood). They aim to kill her too, and then cover up their crime. Seeking help, she discovers the reclusive Kyle (Bienh).

The Victim features so many day-for-night shots you'll wonder if it’s being bad on purpose. It’s such a cheap, shoddy production only the most bored of viewers could call it as anything but a waste of time. The dialogue is agonizing, which makes this stillborn script perfectly suited to the wooden actors who vomit Bienh’s terrible screenplay. Characters are broad and underdeveloped, all of their actions you can see from a mile away. As a whole, the film never manages to generate any excitement in the audience. This is the kind of movie that depresses you every time you see nudity. Come on, honey. Don’t debase yourself for this garbage!

There’s so little going on in The Victim, you'll probably find yourself digging into your ear or between your toes inevitably to remain entertained. Long, pointless sequences of characters driving are shown in great detail and others are repeated - in case you didn't understand them the first time, I guess? It’s obvious The Victim struggled to make it to full-feature length, even before we get to the end credits, which feature photos or muted videos of at least 75% of the cast and crew. I’ve never seen anything like it and found it far more enjoyable than anything in the actual movie.

There’s the barest, thinnest semblance of a surprise right before the film ends, but even that you can see coming way ahead of time, and it neither amounts to anything or makes much sense when you think about it. I won't award this attempt at intrigue any points even if it is the best this picture has to offer.

I’m not going to remember The Victim a day from now and I doubt I’ll ever think about it again. (On DVD, December 10, 2017)

No word on special features, but you can check out the trailer and synopsis below.

When the government attempts to produce a designer drug aimed at correcting the false perceptions that people develop during trauma and stress, the implications are deadly. Advertised as a cure for socio-political tensions, four couples volunteer, but end up with far more than they bargained for as their past and present are examined while taking variations of the new drug. However, this causes them to doubt their own memory, perceptions -- and even their own sanity in this thriller in the vein of Disturbing Behavior and The Faculty.

Uncovering Curiosities: Michael Biehn's THE VICTIM

Uncovering Curiosities: Michael Biehn’s THE VICTIM

Michael Biehn’s 2011 film, The Victim is a grim and gritty grindhouse-style thriller. The actor-turned-director shows that years spent hanging around film sets with the likes of James Cameron, Michael Bay and Robert Rodriguez have paid off, as he has turned into a proficient director. The set-up for The Victim is simple; Biehn’s Kyle lives alone in a cabin in the words, but he is disturbed by…

SHE RISES (2016)

Starring Angus Macfadyen, Jennifer Blanc, Daisy McCrackin, Michael Biehn, Lorraine Ziff, Larry Wade Carrell, Nick W. Nicholson, Hallie Jordan, Jenise Blanc, Jason Aaron Moran, Danielle Artigo, Randy Chance, Jay Lobit and Christopher Jiminez.

Screenplay by Angus Macfayden.

Directed by Larry Wade Carrell.

Distributed by Blanc/Biehn Productions. 90 minutes. Not Rated.

She Rises is an exceedingly odd mind-fuck of a horror film, but you have to give the filmmakers a certain amount of credit for bravery. At different points in the film, it seems to be a horror film, a series of fantasy dream sequences, a comedy, a musical, an erotic thriller, a Shakespeare performance, a surreal lampoon, a tribute to several classic horror movies, a film-in-a-film puzzle box. By the end of the movie you have no clue what the fuck really happened, but you do have to admit they were not afraid to take chances.

I just wish that these chances added up to more than this pretty muddled, Dali-esque variation on a very standard horror set-up.

Made with gonzo grindhouse economy by the production company of married co-stars Jennifer Blanc (The Victim) and Michael Biehn (The Terminator), for the most part She Rises revolves around four characters.

Kat (Blanc) and Conor (Angus Macfadyen of Braveheart) are a couple of Hollywood small-timers who are driving through a hazy wooded area in search of a horror film set they are to work on; he is a never-been star who overestimates his talents, she is a cynical makeup artist with aspirations to direct. One night they get lost deep in the heart of the woods (you’d think GPS would have killed off this particular sub-genre, but it seems to be going strong) and end up stopping to get directions at a remote farmhouse.

They are met by the woman of the house, Rosebud (Daisy McCrackin), a beautiful and apparently naïve homeowner who seems to become more unhinged as time goes on. She lives there with her near-autistic father “Daddy Longlegs” (Biehn), who rarely speaks but keeps a wary, threatening eye on all that is going on. Rosebud convinces them to stay overnight, but as Conor tries to use his Hollywood pizazz to seduce Rosebud, they all get stuck in a series of sexually violent dream sequences.

Macfadyen can be a very capable actor when a director reins in his natural inclination to be a ham. Since the film also has a screenplay by Macfadyen (though honestly, much of this feels improvised) and he’s pretty much as big a name as there is in the cast and crew (only Michael Biehn is arguably bigger), Macfadyen pretty much is allowed to go hog wild. His actor character of Conor preens, leers, slurs, purrs, gasps, cries, wears a woman’s nightgown, constantly quotes films and gives wild-eyed performances of a few Shakespearian soliloquies.

McCrackin also goes way over the top in the role of Rosebud, eventually literally howling at the moon.

Biehn, on the other hand, is extremely effective in a nearly-pantomime performance as the mentally defective head of the household named Daddy Longlegs. He doesn’t say much (I think he had two passages of dialogue in the entire film, and one of them is in the character of “actor Michael Biehn,” who is playing the character of “Daddy Longlegs.”)

She Rises has a few “dream sequences” which are essentially word-by-word replays of scenes in Psycho, The Shining, Rosemary’s Baby and even Hamlet. (Quotes from many other classic films, including Casablanca, Spartacus and The Exorcist are sprinkled throughout the film.) Reminders of these much better horror films do She Rises no favors, despite being a bit of a post-modern kick for the viewer.

The violence and sex mostly seems – seems – to be going on in the heads of the principal characters, so in the long run the audience is scrambling to figure out what, if anything, has really happened. For example, there is one scene where the movie-makers pay tribute to the Psycho shower scene. A matter of seconds after a character is sliced up in the bathtub, that same character is still alive, now doing one of Jack Nicholson’s rants from The Shining.

She Rises has apparently been in the can for a few years now – the end credits read copyright 2016, but online there are stories about the release of the film going back to early 2014.

Honestly, while She Rises has some good moments, I can see why it has been such a hard sell to get it out there. Sadly, She Rises has become a little too self-consciously arty and twisty for its own good. In the end, the audience gets exhausted trying to figure out what (if anything) is supposed to be real. If we don’t know what’s happening, how can we build up any kind of rooting interest for any of the characters?

Vrána - Dlouho jsem tenhle snímek chtěl vidět a dlouho jsem se mu neúmyslně vyhýbal.

Až nyní jsem se konečně dostal k tomu, abych zhlédl již při svém vzniku legendární Vránu. Komiksové snímky jsou v dnešní době na denním pořádku, ale v roce 1993 se dobrá komiksová adaptace hledala hodně těžko. A tak přišli James O’Barr, Alex Proyas a Brandon Lee, aby to změnili. Tak hned na začátku je myslím potřeba zmínit, stejně to každý fanoušek tohohle filmu ví, že Brandon Lee, představitel titulního „hrdiny“, při natáčení zemřel. Tam, kde není Vráně vidět do obličeje, je to většinou kaskadér, který později Brandona nahradil. Brandon bohužel doplatil na prokletí svého otce, Bruce Leeho, který také zemřel při natáčení filmu ve věku 33 let. Brandonovi bylo pouhých 28 let.- Více na https://www.kritiky.cz/filmove-recenze/retro-filmove-recenze/2019/vrana-dlouho-jsem-tenhle-snimek-chtel-videt-a-dlouho-jsem-se-mu-neumyslne-vyhybal/

She Rises (2016)

Directed by Larry Wade Carrell

Written by Angus Macfayden

From a story by Angus Macfayden and Lony Ruhmann

Music by Randy Chance

Country: United States

Language: English

Running Time: 87 minutes

CAST

Angus Macfayden as Conor

Jennifer Blanc-Biehn as Kat

Daisy McCrackin as Rosebud

Michael Biehn as Daddy Longlegs

She Rises is simultaneously a heroically low budgeted horror movie and an audio visual Angus Macfayden ego fellator. I hazard that this makes She Rises unique, it certainly makes it entertaining, but, caveat emptor, not the kind of entertaining everyone enjoys.

While driving to the next day’s shooting location Conor (Angus Macfayden), a self-obsessed actor, and Kat (Jennifer Blanc-Biehn), a cynical director, become lost and stop at the remote cabin of frail ginger waif Rosebud for directions. Tired, and sensing the opportunity for some corruptive fun with the apparent innocent, the narcissistic moviemakers decided to stay the night and get (dun-dun-DUN!) more than they bargained for. And so does any viewer unprepared for the enormous amount of smart arse buggering about She Rises indulges in. But, fret not, gentle viewer, She Rises does want you to be in on the fun. There’s an extended opening sequence in the car where Conor bloviates mercilessly as Kat drives distractedly on. This scene goes on for ages, but it goes on for ages so that you’ll pick up for yourself on the fact that Conor is quoting; that he is, in fact, acting. Yes, She Rises opens with an actor acting as an actor acting as yet another actor. And that’s the start; the concept of Uroboros is more deeply ingrained in She Rises than crap in corduroy.

She Rises is light on certainties but one of those certainties is surely that its Angus MacFayden’s show. Only a churl would begrudge him, as he is a sensationally entertaining screen presence throughout this wonky nonsense. His Conor is such an empty character that he is mostly acting, and acting as someone else acting at that. A lot of the fun for the audience, and one imagines for Angus Macfayden also, is having Angus Macfayden redo scenes from great cinema and literature. These keep the somewhat spindly script pootling along, lending weight to the surface horror trappings and throwing up some nice surprises along the disjointed way. The nature of surprises being what they are I shan’t spoil them. Except to say (he said, spoiling one of them) that the gender swapped The Shining (1980) riff was pretty outstandingly funny, with Macfayden uncharacteristically tremulous and quailing as Shelley Duvall and a butchly aggro Jennifer Blanc-Biehn giving it The Nicholson.

Obviously, all proper actors aspire to Shakespeare and so She Rises is playfully splattered with his iambic pentameter. No surprises then that Macfayden’s Shakespeare is all kinds of great, but seeing Michael Biehn get to grips with the bard is pretty surprising. True, Biehn can’t match Macfayden’s stagetastic delivery, but then Biehn is somewhat at a disadvantage; declaiming Shakespeare while sporting a faceful of latex wrinkles, with his bare arse in the air as he shakes his spear inside his off-screen wife. You don’t get that at Stratford on Avon, pal. Biehn is definitely a surprise in She Rises, scarcely there but still pivotal. More present and even more pivotal is Daisy McCrackin, who is enthusiastically shrill, never stinting on her commitment, and if her lurch from shallow naïf to malefic demonic manipulator doesn’t convince that might be down to the script, which gets as lost amongst the chunks of other people’s words as Conor and Kat do in the movie itself.

Larry Wade Carrell’s direction is underwhelming but probably deserves extra kudos for avoiding Macfayden actually physically ingesting the camera. As befits the Bad Things Happening in a Small Place premise Carrell does definitely bring a sense of claustrophobia, going mostly very close up and rarely wider in scope than the size of a room. Which pays off with the second ending which is like parting a curtain so sunshine can flood a darkened room. That second ending is the Artistic Ending. The first Ending is the Traditional Horror Movie Ending. Two endings are okay for the minnows but She Rises dares to chuck in a third ending, The Uroboros Rising Ending. Each ending overwrites the previous one. Like most post-modern, meta textual, goofing about (and flakey singletons everywhere) She Rises can’t commit at the end, trying to overcome that mundane and oh, so tiresomely bourgeois need for a conclusion.  She Rises wants to have its cake and eat it. Which is impossible. Largely because Angus Macfayden has smeared it all over his face like an edible leatherface and is making chainsaw noises with his lips. But then, he is an actor, darling. So let the damned man act! And…ACTION!
