Werewolf Cabal (2022)
Full Moon Fun for Everyone!
Werewolf Cabal delighted our family of horror-lovers and is another quirky triumph for Black Coppice Films! From the deadpan humour underlying even the most serious scenes to the intrigue of the shady family histories, this is such a fun, irreverent film full of classic terror tropes and a fabulous analog feel. One of the things the Black Coppice crew does better than anybody in this film and all of their others is: lighting! Lighting is almost a lost art form in cinema today as so much is computerized. Here, the lighting is symbolic! As it should be. Immerse yourself in this lycanthropic joy!
Demons at Dawn (2022)
Took Me All the Best Ghoulish Places I Wanted to Go
Let me first proclaim my bias: I love any film that feels like it comes from a bygone time. Demons at Dawn lends itself to my visual fetish there like an expert! I miss movies that are not self-aware, and this one is a glorious example of that. It is full of badass, frightening, unapologetically violent women (another thing I adore), incredibly-shot cityscapes, and an indefinable 90s mood. There is also a wonderfully old-school slowburn quality to the story's arc. When the movie started, I had no idea whatsoever that it would go where it went--and that is precisely what I expect of a well-written script! Whether you enjoy indie horror in general or just need a few bloodthirsty demons and Satanic cults set against idyllic English backdrops in your day, check this one out.
