Okkervil River – The Stage Names
I couldn’t love a song more if a heavenly angel wrote it with a perfected instrument from God himself. Which, honestly, I’m not entirely certain HASN’T happened here. As with Frog Eyes, Will Sheff’s voice will crush your heart until you’re a puddle of emotions just utterly devoured by this song. Sheff has completely ripped out his soul on this album and he’s handing it over to us with a poignant misery. But in “Love to a Monster” he gets a bit cheeky and a lot vindictive, taking back a little of his power. There are moments of clarity–break-throughs–during which you think, “Okay, yea! Let’s do this.” And then there are other moments, more reflective moments (something Okkervil River has perfected) during which you want to weep and call up the band asking how they knew exactly what you were feeling right that moment. Here’s the thing, you guys: it’s a damn near perfect song. From the lyrics to the raw emotion, to the deeply saddening horns section, and lower than low ending…it’s daring and very, very real. And though there is a certain arrogance to the song, if you listen closely, all you hear is a need for survival.
Pregnancy nightmare Son of Sara aims to be the next generation’s take on the horror classic Rosemary’s Baby, and Bloody Disgusting is exclusively debuting the trailer this afternoon.
Son of Sara will be available in the U.S. and Canada on Digital & VOD July 31.
Watch the official trailer from Saban Films below.
In Son of Sara, “A pregnant woman’s cravings turn sinister as her estranged boyfriend’s return coincides with a terrifying secret about the life growing inside her.”
The film stars Chloe Van Landschoot, Tymika Tafari, Garret Hnatiuk and Jane Moffat.
Canadian filmmaker Houston Bone directed Son of Sara.
Houston Bone said in a statement, “After gagging Toronto at Blood in the Snow this past winter, we are excited to be working with Saban to bring our grisly horror movie, and our new little monster, to audiences across the United States. This film has been a passion project for all of us since we shot it back in October 2023. Real blood, sweat, and tears went into bringing Son of Sara to the screen. We are humbled and thrilled by the response from film festival audiences so far. It is a dream come true to be sharing this film at this scale internationally.”
