[Review] “The Struggle Is Real” In The New Horror Film ‘Tone-Deaf’

Published

on

The story of Tone-Deaf begins with Olive (Amanda Crew) going through an odd break up with her boyfriend and practically at the same time suffering the wrath from her boss and getting fired. A frustrated Olive decides to bale out of town and she books the weekend at a very large home. Harvey (Robert Patrick) the owner of the house, claims to have recently lost his wife and lives not too far from the home, just down the road to be precise. Too many memories keep Harvey close to the home. Harvey is battling through his own demons as his son David, (Ronnie Gene Blevins) has a deep fear that his father is slipping into dementia and this man that he once knew is turning into something quite different. Of course, Harvey denies this. Harvey has his sights set on Olive, and he is out for murder!

After watching the trailer for the film I already started developing an opinion on how this movie was going to play out, and it seemed absolutely bonkers! and Robert Patrick to top it off? Yeah, this movie was on my radar for sure and I knew I must see it!

The film uses some very weird and colorful nightmare scenes that just didn’t appease me at all. The scenes were more of an art performance and consisted of everything Harvey dislikes about Millenials, this baby-boomer cannot stomach these types of people. Stuck in the middle, I personally do not feel a part of either generation so this conflict in the film really has sparked an interest. I also need to note that the dialogue in the film adds a humorous temperament throughout with lines cited by Robert Patrick’s character, Harvey – “Sunglasses are for the outside, and Sundays are for the lord.” Outside of the humorous aspects of the film, there are moments throughout Tone-Deaf’s 87-minute runtime where Harvey starts speaking directly into the camera to the viewer, a very creepy idea and I absolutely could not help but squirm in my seat!

Tone-Deaf is a step by step manual on the divide culturally between our current generation. After the first twenty minutes, I found myself sold on this film and everything about it. The film made me laugh, cover my eyes and I didn’t catch myself checking my cell phone every five minutes. If you need something entertaining, fun and straight out bat shit crazy, Tone-Deaf is your go-to film.

 

 

Tone-Deaf made its world premiere at this year’s SXSW. The film is currently in theaters and On Demand from Saban Films.

“In a Violent Nature” So Gory Audience Member Throws Up During Screening

Published

in a violent nature horror movie

Chis Nash (ABC’s of Death 2) just debuted his new horror film, In a Violent Nature, at the Chicago Critics Film Fest. Based on the audience’s reaction, those with squeamish stomachs may want to bring a barf bag to this one.

Thats right, we have another horror film that is causing audience members to walk out of the screening. According to a report from Film Updates at least one audience member threw up in the middle of the film. You can hear audio of the audience reaction to the film below.

In a Violent Nature

This is far from the first horror film to claim this kind of audience reaction. However, early reports of In a Violent Nature indicates that this film may be just that violent. The film promises to reinvent the slasher genre by telling the story from the killer’s perspective.

Here is the official synopsis for the film. When a group of teens takes a locket from a collapsed fire tower in the woods, they unwittingly resurrect the rotting corpse of Johnny, a vengeful spirit spurred on by a horrific 60-year old crime. The undead killer soon embarks on a bloody rampage to retrieve the stolen locket, methodically slaughtering anyone who gets in his way.

While we will have to wait and see if In a Violent Nature lives up to all of its hype, recent responses on X offer nothing but praise for the film. One user even makes the bold claim that this adaptation is like an arthouse Friday the 13th.

In a Violent Nature will receive a limited theatrical run starting May 31, 2024. The film will then be released on Shudder sometime later in the year. Make sure to check out the promo images and trailer below.

New Windswept Action Trailer for ‘Twisters’ Will Blow You Away

Published

on

The summer movie blockbuster game came in soft with The Fall Guy, but the new trailer for Twisters is bringing back the magic with an intense trailer full of action and suspense. Steven Spielberg’s production company, Amblin, is behind this newest disaster film just like its 1996 predecessor.

This time Daisy Edgar-Jones plays the female lead named Kate Cooper, “a former storm chaser haunted by a devastating encounter with a tornado during her college years who now studies storm patterns on screens safely in New York City. She is lured back to the open plains by her friend, Javi to test a groundbreaking new tracking system. There, she crosses paths with Tyler Owens (Glen Powell), the charming and reckless social-media superstar who thrives on posting his storm-chasing adventures with his raucous crew, the more dangerous the better. As storm season intensifies, terrifying phenomena never seen before are unleashed, and Kate, Tyler and their competing teams find themselves squarely in the paths of multiple storm systems converging over central Oklahoma in the fight of their lives.”

Twisters cast includes Nope’s Brandon Perea, Sasha Lane (American Honey), Daryl McCormack (Peaky Blinders), Kiernan Shipka (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), Nik Dodani (Atypical) and Golden Globe winner Maura Tierney (Beautiful Boy).

Twisters is directed by Lee Isaac Chung and hits theaters on July 19.

Travis Kelce Joins Cast on Ryan Murphy’s ‘Grotesquerie’

Published

Football star Travis Kelce is going Hollywood. At least that is what Dahmer Emmy award-winning star Niecy Nash-Betts announced on her Instagram page yesterday. She posted a video of herself on set of the new Ryan Murphy FX series Grotesquerie.

“This is what happens when WINNERS link up‼️ @killatrav Welcome to Grostequerie[sic]!” she wrote.

Standing just out of frame is Kelce who suddenly steps in to say, “Jumping into new territory with Niecy!” Nash-Betts appears to be in a hospital gown while Kelce is dressed as an orderly.

Not much is known about Grotesquerie, other than in literary terms it means a work filled with both science fiction and extreme horror elements. Think H.P. Lovecraft.

Back in February Murphy released an audio teaser for Grotesquerie on social media. In it, Nash-Betts says in part, “I don’t know when it started, I can’t put my finger on it, but it’s different now. There’s been a shift, like something’s opening up in the world — a kind of hole that descends into a nothingness…”

There hasn’t been an official synopsis released regarding Grotesquerie, but keep checking back to iHorror for further details.
