A Thousand Cuts
It focuses on a horror movie director who is confronted by the father of a girl who was murdered by a copycat carrying out the kind of murders depicted in the director’s films.
[BD Review] ‘A Thousand Cuts’ is Thoroughly Absorbing
Reviewed by Patrick Cooper
The cover of A Thousand Cuts tricked me into hating it before watching it. It features two hands bound and bloody and has that cheap Saw color filter going on. There’s even an “Unrated Director’s Cut” stamp – even though I’m pretty sure this wasn’t submitted to the ratings board. Instead of played-out torture porn, however, the film is an examination of the genre’s violence and who should take responsibility for its impact. It’s certainly a relevant discussion as lazy politicians and parents still feel that blaming violent movies and video games is a tangible argument for all of the horrible shit in the world. A Thousand Cuts offers no conclusion, but focuses on a torture porn director and a vengeful parent affected by his films. READ MORE
5 Horror Movies With Amazing Endings!!!
A few months back I wrote a piece that highlighted 5 horror films and the horrible endings that the filmmakers chose for them. But now it’s October and I’m in the mood for love, especially when it comes to my favorite genre, so it’s time to turn the tables and talk about the films that really hit it out of the park with their endings.
When it comes to endings, sometimes you’ve got to take the advice of Jesus (as played by Jerry Cantrell in Jerry Maguire) and hang your balls out there to be great. So while all of these endings are awesome, most of them aren’t exactly happy. It’s not that I’m against happy endings, but often they clash so harshly with the film’s overall tone and theme that you just know they’re tacked on compromises.
