I think my favorite thing with anthologies is going in blind, but for those of you who want a sneak peak at what you’re getting into, this featurette is for you.
In theaters, On Demand, Amazon Video and iTunes February 17, 2017, the film tells four deadly tales from four killer women: Roxanne Benjamin, who produced Southbound with us and also directed one of the stories; rock and roll icon Annie Clark (“St. Vincent”); Karyn Kusama, one of TV’s leading female directors and the filmmaker behind The Invitation; and up-and-comer Jovanka Vuckovic, director of the short film “The Captured Bird”.
This featurette is the first to recognize filmmaker Sofia Carrillo (La Casa Triste), who wraps together the four stories of terror featuring a cast including Natalie Brown, Mike Doyle, Christina Kirk, Kyle Allen, Peyton Kennedy, Peter DaCunha, Ron Lea, Jonathan Watton, Lisa Renee Pitts, and Morgan Peter Brown star.
The video gives us footage from the four segments, as well as interview with: Annie Clark (St. Vincent) rocks her directorial debut with “The Birthday Party”; Karyn Kusama exorcises “Her Only Living Son”; Roxanne Benjamin screams “Don’t Fall”; and Jovanka Vuckovic dares to open “The Box”.
XX is another solid entry into the anthology genre, which Ben Lenard reviewed out of the Sundance Film Festival’s world premiere.
