Creepshow: Skincrawlers/ By the Silver Water of Lake Champlain (2019)

[adamwatchesmovies]

Southbound (2015)

At a few points during Southbound, we see televisions showing 1962's Carnival of Souls - a film that really made an impact on me. Like Carnival of Souls, this anthology film also has a certain unsettling quality about it. We’re used to seeing bad people getting punished in horror movies. Or if the protagonists aren��t bad, they’re drawing evil towards themselves because of some sort of transgression. That isn’t really the case here - our protagonist just wandered into the wrong place by accident. It’s an effective way to make your skin crawl, even when all of the vignettes aren’t of equal quality.

The Way Out

Mitch (Chad Villella) and Jack (Matt Bettinelli-Olpin) are on the run from mysterious, floating creatures that resemble skeletal angels of death. Driving along a seemingly endless highway, they stumble upon a run-down gas station. No matter how hard they try to leave, they always end up back at the same spot.

There are two kinds of terrors in this story, one of which will only be explained (kind of) much later in the program. The Way Out, is full of mysteries. Mitch and Jack are bloodied and injured. What happened to them? Mitch looks at a photograph of his daughter. What happened to her? What are those creatures in the distance? What do they want? We get answers to some (but not all) of these questions in time. The frazzled characters don't have a moment to spare so it’s ok that we don’t sit down to have a bunch of exposition dumped on our heads.

Siren

Bandmates Sadie (Fabianne Therese), Ava (Hanah Marks) and Kim (Nathalie Love) are forced to pull over when their van’s tire goes flat. Stranded in the middle of nowhere, they accept help from a friendly but off-putting couple (Susan Burke and Davey Johnson).

While the stories in Southbound might be a mixed bag, all of them effectively tap into real-life fears. Quickly, Sadie and the audience realize there’s something very wrong with the couple who offered to help them. Going from a situation that’s bad to another that’s even worse is scary. On top of that, this short story is genuinely eerie, with several people offhandedly mentioning the band’s late friend Alex when they should have no knowledge of her. As the story wraps up, it becomes very conventional but before then, you’re invested in the story despite the protagonists leaning a bit too much towards the “unlikeable” side.

The Accident

While driving down a dark highway, Lucas (Mather Zickel) is talking to his wife Claire on the phone when he hits a young woman. Lucas calls 911 but has no idea where they are so he puts the woman in the back of his car and drives until he finds a hospital. The building appears abandonned, which means the woman's life is in his hands.

This story may not sound particularly scary but if you were in Lucas' shoes, it would be pretty stressful. The accident is his fault. He wasn’t paying attention while driving. When he calls 911, he has no idea where they are so the dispatcher gives him instructions, which he follows as best he can. He finds a hospital. Suddenly, there’s hope. The hospital is deserted. Hope is dashed away. Something is very wrong here. Unfortunately for Lucas, he can’t investigate. The woman is dying right now. All he can do is try to follow the instructions he’s hearing over the phone and save her life. Where it goes from there isn’t quite “keep you up at night screaming” but it’s unsettling and smartly, the film doesn’t explain too much. Out of all the segments, this one's the best.

Jailbreak

Danny (David Yow) enters a bar and forces the patrons inside to lead him to his missing sister, Jesse (Tipper Newton). Though the people holding her hostage look human… they aren’t.

Ambiguity can be nice but Jailbreak takes it too far. Eventually, you just stop caring. Escaping from the town with Jesse is not going to be as easy as Danny thought but why? Is it because he’s wandered into some sort of Hell? If yes, how did he manage that without noticing? If this isn’t Hell, why is it so hard for them to leave? The segment has a strong conclusion but I’m not sure if it makes up for the rest.

The Way In

Jem (Hassie Harrison) and her parents, Cait and Daryl (Kate Beahan and Gerald Downey) are enjoying their last weekend together before she leaves for college when three masked men break into their home.

The Way In made me realize how simultaneously effective and tired the “home invasion” genre is. Strangers breaking into your home and attacking you is a primal fear. At the same time, this story is so short it feels pointless. There isn’t time for character development or anything except for the horror of the situation, making The Way In way too familiar. Things become a little different towards the end when there’s a reveal about this story. Unfortunately, the twist comes out of nowhere. It’s too bad we're left with a bad taste in our mouths before the credits roll but there was also nowhere else the story could be placed in this anthology.

Unlike most anthology films, Southbound does not have a proper wraparound story. Instead, we begin a new tale when a character we already know is spotted by someone or appears in the background of the next story. It’s an interesting tactic that doesn’t quite work. Partially because we suddenly have people in whatever Hell they were wandering through now co-existing with people in completely different situations and also because it winds up spoiling the ending of one of its stories. it is an interesting tactic though. It’s interesting enough that I think other movies should try it. In the end, the successful stories in Southbound make it worth watching. (November 12, 2022)

#155. There's Something Wrong with the Children - Roxanne Benjamin

2/5

[spiderbitesandvampirevenom]

Ok so I have been asked by a lot of people over time to give some reading recommendations for various topics. Thank you all for asking! Unfortunately for you, I am a lazy bitch, and don't feel like making a bunch of different reading lists. So rather than do that, I've picked out a dozen works that have in some way shaped my political views or that I otherwise think have some merit. You don't get a "start with this one" or a summary of what they are or anything like that either. I'm not your mom. Pick a title that intrigues you and go find a copy. Read it. Once you're done with that do it again with another book. Repeat til you've read all of them. With that said, without further ado, may I present:

Some Books:

Frantz Fanon - “Wretched of the Earth,” “Black Skin, White Masks,” “A Dying Colonialism,”

Karl Marx - “Capital,” “The German Ideology,” “The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte”

Edward Said - “Orientalism,” “Culture & Imperialism”

Phil Deloria - “Playing Indian”

Eduardo Galeano - “Open Veins of Latin America”

Ruha Benjamin - “Race After Technology”

Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz - "An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States"

If you want me to add meanings, origins, etc., just tell me! ^^

nik and wesley's lists of baby names they would name their future kids🙏

Oh gosh lol Nik would probably go with some names that aren’t used as much anymore: Benjamin, Catherine, Noah, Roxanne, Henry, Arthur, Amelia, Clara etc… but he will usually compromise or fold at your choice.

Wes would choose something culturally relevant to either one of you (for him a Vietnamese or Korean name), ideally a mix of both of you guys’ cultures. Also he’d want it to mean something.

Creepshow: The Companion/Lydia Layne's Better Half (2019)

[adamwatchesmovies]

There's Something Wrong with the Children (2023)

I'm unsure how to feel about movies whose titles clearly give away what the movie will be about. There's no ambiguity in a statement like There's Something Wrong with the Children but the movie keeps its cards close to its chest for a while. Maybe it's titled that way to make sure those who seek it out won't be disappointed?

Margaret and Ben (Alisha Wainwright and Zach Gilford) are vacationing with their friends Ellie, Thomas (Amanda Crew and Carlos Santos) and their children, Lucy and Spencer (Briella Guiza and David Mattle). While hiking through the woods, they come upon a delapidated building. Inside is a deep pit. Lucy and Spencer become fascinated with a light within only they can see and begin acting hostile towards Ben. Or maybe the kids haven’t been replaced by malicious dopplegangers and Ben’s pre-existing conditions is what’s causing him to become paranoid.

This horror film gets a lot of the basics right. The cast is small and you get to know them quite well, so you worry once things start going south. In fact, the adult drama stuff would almost be enough to be a movie on its own. As Ben begins accusing the children of all sorts of things, tensions between the couples escalate until they reach a breaking point. At this point, all hell breaks loose between them. The friends say some deeply hurtful things towards each other, the kind that could make this weekend getaway the last time they ever talk. You wonder what’s coming next but then uh oh, the kids are up to something and everyone forgets all about the drama.

Another thing director Roxanne Benjamin nails is the creepy kids themselves. All “bad seed” stories have an inherent problem: an opponent you could pick up and throw out the window is hard to make scary. The film knows this and begins by focussing on Ben to keep whether or not something legitimately malicious is happening ambiguous. You might say it’s a spoiler to reveal that indeed, there is something wrong with the children… but that’s what the title tells you. Anyway, once the sinister behavior is confirmed, much of the evil stuff is kept off-screen. We see the consequences, not the actions themselves. First, it makes this scenario much more believable. Second, it keeps what’s happening ambiguous. There are many unknowns in this picture. The green glow coming from the cave. Who or what created it? Why were only the children affected? Now that they’ve been “infected”, what do they want? We don’t know for sure. There are hints, such as an eerily effective moment where one of the children’s shadows begins to morph into an insect-like shape. Maybe that’s just panic making the person we’re following at the time imagine something otherworldly. Maybe it’s a hint that they’re now slaves to a glow worm queen living deep underground. It doesn’t matter. What matters is that they’re dangerous and prey upon the adult’s trust.

The score by The Gifted is terrific and the film ends on a strong final note. There’s Something Wrong with the Children takes some interesting turns along the way, and makes some unexpected choices to keep you on your toes. So why, at the end of the day, am I only giving it three stars out of five? It’s because of the running time. 92 minutes shouldn’t be too long, but there isn’t quite enough meat to fill that time. To prolong the action, our protagonist has to make some dumb decisions - hiding when they should be going on the offensive, making obvious mistakes, etc. Yes, the characters in the film don’t know they’re in a film and they’re under much more stress than the audience but for the most part, everyone has a solid head on their shoulders. It becomes frustrating to see them do things only (seemingly) to keep the story going on longer than it needs to.

There’s Something Wrong With the Children is no game changer but it does enough new things and enough things right to make it worthwhile. It’s tense, the drama before things go south is engaging. There are some neat visual tricks, and the protagonist provides us with an interesting point of view. It might feel too long at the 2/3 mark but the conclusion is strong and with that killer soundtrack, you’ll find yourself enjoying the scares much more than not. (August 26, 2023)
