WORLD OF DEATH Ep. 43 – Tinnitus / Mercy

Published

Sup, WOD Watchers?
We welcome you back on this macabre Monday to another double dose of terror.  For many, this is the start of the first full week back to work after the holidays, and it could be rough.  Hopefully, we can help wake you up for the week like a cup of coffee on Elm Street!  This next duo of releases really embodies that Monday feeling with its drab lack of color.  We go back to classic black and white with two tales of futility.
Our first short comes to us from director Gav Chuckie Steel in the UK.  This one is called Tinnitus and rightfully so.  Our main character can’t stop the noises inside his head and will do anything to silence them.  This is a character driven short that uses black and white to its advantage with high contrast and just a touch of color in places of the artist’s choosing.  A somewhat crowded sound design will help support the title of this piece.
The second featurette, entitled Mercy, comes from director Sean Blau.  This is an odd little creature feature about a group of friends who stumble across an unknown organism washed up on the beach.  After encountering the strange creature, they begin to undergo… changes.  What this lacks in performance, it makes up for with some pretty creative and cringe-worthy practical effects.  It may take a couple watches to fully appreciate this one, but you won’t be disappointed.
Anyway, talk is cheap… just watch the damn movies.
Enjoy!

Anna Faris & Regina Hall Promise ‘Scary Movie’ Will “Offend Everyone;” New Images Revealed

The Wayans are out to cancel the Cancel Culture with Scary Movie, and the cast assures it will do just that.

“They sort of have an across-the-board style,” Anna Faris tells EW. “It’s always been a part of the Wayans Brothers, their electricity. ‘Can we offend you? Will you still love us? Come on, you still love us, don’t you?'”

Regina Hall concurs, promising the “boundary-pushing” sixth installment in the horror parody franchise will “offend everyone.”

EW has shared a batch of behind-the-scenes images from Scary Movie, which hits theaters June 5 via Paramount.

Faris and Hall are joined by fellow franchise favorites Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, and Jon Abrahams in the legacy sequel.

The ensemble includes Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Benny Zielke, Cameron Scott Roberts, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Ruby Snowber, Savannah Lee Nassif, Sydney Park, Kenan Thompson, and Felissa Rose.

Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directs from a script by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, original Scary Movie director Keenen Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans (Scary Movie 2), and Rick Alvarez (A Haunted House).

The film will slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final.

Scary Movie launched in 2000, followed by Scary Movie 2 in 2001. The Wayans’ involvement ended there, but the series continued with 2003’s Scary Movie 3, 2006’s Scary Movie 4, and 2013’s Scary Movie 5.
