BD Review: ‘Inside’-Inspired ‘Macabre’
Were you a fan of the French horror bloodfest Inside? If so, head on down to Singapore for the Mo brothers’ Macabre, an Inside rip-off (from the same company) that soaked the Screamfest Horror Film Festival with gore. “It may not win any awards or anything, but it’s entertaining and coherent, and I think we should encourage our Eastern brothers to try different things more often.” Click the title above for BC’s full review.
Maika Monroe (Longlegs) isn’t the only one reuniting with It Follows director David Robert Mitchell on the sequel They Follow. The filmmaker revealed key collaborators are also joining the project.
Speaking with Empire, Mitchell confirmed that multiple crew members are returning for the sequel, and that it’ll feature a new score from Disasterpeace!
“Maika is back for this, and [cinematographer] Mike [Gioulakis], and the editor, Julio [C. Perez IV],” Mitchell told the outlet. “Disasterpeace will be doing a score.“
That’s great news, considering how impactful the artist’s score was on the original 2014 film. Mitchell agrees: “I wouldn’t want to do a sequel without him. That first movie is so much to do with his fantastic music, so I’m excited about seeing what he does with this.”
The filmmaker notes that he’s also proud of his script for They Follow, which will do its own thing while still being connected to the original film. Of course, plot details remain scarce at this time.
“It’s very dark,” Monroe recently teased. “We’re pushing the boundaries on this one for sure.”
In the first movie, Maika Monroe’s Jay Height is a young woman followed by an unknown supernatural force after a sexual encounter. In the sequel, the threat is now EVERYWHERE.
Naomi Ackie (Blink Twice) is reportedly joining the sequel.
NEON and Good Fear Content are producing They Follow.
