The Weird is Here in ‘Humanimal’
About a year after shooting it’s teaser-trailer, Humanimal finally wrapped it’s shooting. The chilean movie is a weird take on the horror genre, as it’s main actors are fully dressed on almost ridiculous animal costumes and has no dialogs at all. Beyond the break you can check out the trailer, read more about the film and dig on some stills.
Check out the official website.
The teaser-trailer featured the three main actors Ramón Llao (Turtle), Jenny Cavallo (Cat) and Sebastián Layseca (Fox). It allowed the film to get chilean and international media attention and eventually helped the movie work on a bigger budget. Also new actors joined the cast to play the remaining roles like Cristobal Tapia-Montt, Felipe Avello, Francisco Gormaz, among others. The film features a total of 13 characters and the whole story takes place on one big location.
The movie tells the story of Turtle a character that lives on an abandoned house with the abusive Fox. After he rescues Cat they start competing to seduce her. Yet, she is only interested on the one who incorporates human habits. Turtle realizes he can gain some advantage by feeding flesh-eating creature that lives on the kitchen.
Despict being labeled by chilean press as a fable-horror that is shocking, strange, overloaded and a surreal experience with an atmosphere full of symbolism, the movie is a straight lineal story that follows how an inoccent character (Turtle) becomes corrupt with the temptation of sex and power, and how he eventually grows up.
The film is being directed by spanish director Francesc Morales who is currently living in Chile. He says about the movie: “The story talks through animals about the decline of human nature and it expects to be a tough criticism about what makes us persons”. Being a movie that doesn’t need dialogs it has the advantage that it can be seen in any place of the world without difficulties.
The movie plans to travel through fantasic film festivals during 2010 as it’s currently finishing it’s editing and preparing it’s festival debut. A first trailer of the movie will be available online during the next months.
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.
