[Review] ‘An Hour To Kill’ – A Gruesome & Disgusting Joyride!

Published

on

When I first sat down to watch An Hour To Kill, I really had no idea what to expect. Judging by the film’s elaborate poster I felt I may get a “grindhouse” type film, but much to my surprise I got a lot more. Hitman Gio (Aaron Guerrero) and the rookie, Frankie (Frankie Pozos) are sent after Arash (Arash Dibazar) for a hit. Unfortunately, the duo is saturated with some bad luck when their boss, Mr. Kiniski (Mel Novak) suspects Frankie for a snitch, and he wants Gio to execute him – in an hour, not a minute less. Frankie, unaware of this, and Gio intends on not making him suspicious of anything. To pass the time along conversations ensue in which they tell one another some very disturbing and horrifying stories, not all related to the work they carry out daily.

Directed by Aaron K. Carter, the devious film turns into an anthology, if you know me, I am a sucker for a good anthology, immediately I was hooked once I realized exactly what was going on. Three stories were told during the film as the main plot wrapped itself around.

1 – “Valkyrie’s Bunker” – This tale has five teenagers (Jola Cora, Amanda Rau, Sarah Gordy, Alexya Garcia, & Stephanie Strehlow)hanging out and they decide to go out chasing ghosts in an old bunker that is rumored to be the hideout for escaped Nazi’s. Will they make it out alive? Valkyrie’s Bunker was my favorite of the three, it was close enough to a slasher story and the history, and cinematic style made for a spooky watch. This is one tale that has the ability to comprise an entire film.

2 – “Assacre” – 2nd up is a story of competitive eating at its finest (Brendan Mitchell, Gabriel Mercado) that will lead to a practical joke gone wrong when someone is coaxed into eating a pepper that is so legendary, not many can handle the heat. I have to admit, I turned my head a few times during this segment, it was completely gross, but a lot of fun! I have to hand it to the filmmaker, it takes a lot to make me squeamish.

3 – “Hog Hunters” – Three bowlers (Kevin C. Beardsley, Michael Camp, & Chris Morris) welcome their new member to the club (Joe McQueen). This motley crew heads off to the backwoods for initiation to “get it on” with some very large women. The plan pretty much backfires and this segment will leave you asking yourself, “what the hell did I just watch?” (But in a good way, of course)!

An Hour To Kill falls into several genres including action, comedy, and horror and a lot of effort went into this film building a story and forming that story around these tales, Gio and Frankie act as kind of a host into these segments and to tell you the truth, I wouldn’t mind seeing more of them. At times throughout the film, we do see the low budget bleed through, but these filmmakers knew what they were doing and where to spend their money.

All in all An Hour To Kill is quite entertaining, the concept is unique and the scenes from the film will linger on the viewer’s mind for the days to come. An Hour To Kill is a film that viewers will converse about with their friends, reciting the wackiest, bloodiest and comedic scenes.

Trailer for ‘The Exorcism’ Has Russell Crowe Possessed

Published

on

The latest exorcism movie is about to drop this summer. It’s aptly titled The Exorcism and it stars Academy Award winner turned B-movie savant Russell Crowe. The trailer dropped today and by the looks of it, we are getting a possession movie that takes place on a movie set.

Just like this year’s recent demon-in-media-space film Late Night With the Devil, The Exorcism happens during a production. Although the former takes place on a live network talk show, the latter is on an active sound stage. Hopefully, it won’t be entirely serious and we’ll get some meta chuckles out of it.

The film will open in theaters on June 7, but since Shudder also acquired it, it probably won’t be long after that until it finds a home on the streaming service.

Crowe plays, “Anthony Miller, a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter, Lee (Ryan Simpkins), wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play. The film also stars Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg and David Hyde Pierce.”

Crowe did see some success in last year’s The Pope’s Exorcist mostly because his character was so over-the-top and infused with such comical hubris it bordered on parody. We will see if that is the route actor-turned-director Joshua John Miller takes with The Exorcism.

Published

28 years later

Danny Boyle is revisiting his 28 Days Later universe with three new films. He will direct the first, 28 Years Later, with two more to follow. Deadline is reporting that sources say Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes have been cast for the first entry, a sequel to the original. Details are being kept under wraps so we don’t know how or if the first original sequel 28 Weeks Later fits into the project.

Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes

Boyle will direct the first movie but it’s unclear which role he will take on in the subsequent films. What is known is Candyman (2021) director Nia DaCosta is scheduled to direct the second film in this trilogy and that the third will be filmed immediately afterward. Whether DaCosta will direct both is still unclear.

Alex Garland is writing the scripts. Garland is having a successful time at the box office right now. He wrote and directed the current action/thriller Civil War which was just knocked out of the theatrical top spot by Radio Silence’s Abigail.

There is no word yet on when, or where, 28 Years Later will start production.

28 Days Later

The original film followed Jim (Cillian Murphy) who wakes from a coma to find that London is currently dealing with a zombie outbreak.
