After Dark Originals ’11 Review: ‘Prowl’ and ‘Husk’
5 of the After Dark Originals have just hit limited theaters across the country and David Harley has reviews of two of them for you. He found both the quasi-vampire flick Prowl and the killer scarecrow movie Husk disappointing.
“‘Prowl’ definitely succeeds in the gore department, offering up buckets of the gooey red stuff during almost every minute of the final hour, but little else is there for viewers to sink their teeth into.”
“‘Husk’ does nothing to break the streak of bad scarecrow flicks we’ve had for the past thirty years, and insists that you be completely brain dead to not notice the gaping plot holes that drive the story forward.”
You can read both reviews in their entirety by clicking the titles above. Don’t forget to check back this weekend to write your own.
Abigail Cowen (“Stranger Things,” “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,” The Ritual) will lead the cast of psychedelic horror movie The Guide, Deadline reports this week.
James Badge Dale (13 Hours) and Edouard Philipponnat (Napoleon) will also star. Inon Shampanier directs from a script co-written with Natalie Shampanier.
Deadline details, “Abigail Cowen will play a young woman who enters a psilocybin mushroom retreat in an effort to heal past traumas, surrendering herself to the care of a psychedelic therapy guide (James Badge Dale). As the guide’s motives come under suspicion, the past bleeds into the present and the session unravels into a psychedelic nightmare.”
“This psychedelic therapy thriller is designed to be a visceral inward journey, and I am thrilled to go on this journey with the incredibly talented James Badge Dale, Abigail Cowen and Edouard Philipponnat,” Inon Shampanier said in a statement to Deadline.
Stay tuned for more on The Guide as we learn it.
