Ten GIFs to Mark The Toronto Premiere of “Mon Mon Mon Monsters”!
One of my favorite festival movies of 2017 was the fear-stutter sounding Mon Mon Mon Monsters!, which screened at Abertoir Film Festival as well as Fantasia. The Taiwanese creature feature that plays like Let The Right One In meets The Bowers Gang from It, has one last big screenplay this weekend in Toronto as part of Colin Geddes’ KINOVORTEX. After the Premiere screening, the movie makes the jump to VOD as an exclusive to Shudder in the US, Canada & UK on March 29. Take a look below at some of the creepy moments and if you are in Ontario be sure to make your way to the TIFF Bell Lightbox at 10PM this Saturday.
“Looking for acceptance, a wimpy high-schooler is drawn into a group of handsome but borderline-sociopathic boys who constantly berate and abuse him. While “helping” seniors in a rundown tenement building, the troublemaking teens and their reluctant tagalong encounter a ravenous she-monster that has been preying on vagrants. Combining moral complexity with show-stopping scenes of bloodshed, the sophomore feature by Taiwanese director Giddens Ko will have you rooting for the sharp-toothed beasts over any of the human characters.”
Jennifer Holland (“Peacemaker”) and Dave Annable (“Lioness”) will lead the cast of upcoming supernatural Civil War thriller Brine, Deadline reports this afternoon.
B.J. Golnick (“Hunting Hitler”) will be directing Brine.
Brine follows a family of Confederate deserters who escape the Union bombardment of Fort Pulaski with a cache of stolen gold and disappear into the Georgia marshlands.
When they take refuge in a remote plantation house, what first appears to be salvation slowly reveals itself as part of something ancient, predatory and impossible to escape.
Jonah Wharton (Lioness), Sissy Sheridan (Chicken Girls), and Grayson Lay (Outer Banks) also star. The screenplay was written by B.J. Golnick and Jeremy Miller.
“Brine is a story about survival, but it is also a story about inheritance…The violence we pass down, the myths we create to justify it, and the cost of trying to break free,” Golnick previews.
“We intend for the film to feel intimate, historically grounded and deeply unnerving, as if the supernatural elements weren’t invented, but unearthed from the marsh itself.”
