Fool's Views (3/25 - 3/31)

Howdy, folks!

Returning home to Chicago after the adventure that was SXSW, it was but a short week to put all affairs in order and do the laundry before it was time to hit the road once again. This time, our destination was HorrorHound Weekend Cincinnati, where IFC had teamed with our festival programmers to preview several of their upcoming releases. Despite the blizzard that waylaid us on the way home, it was a truly joyous gathering of fellow fiends, many of whom I met for the first time online and with whom I was only now making a flesh and blood acquaintance. My Kryptic Army obligations rounded out the rest of the week, along with a few worthy (and in some cases overdue) civilian viewings.

As always, feel free to leave your two cents worth – we’ll make sure you get some change back.

Enjoy!

ANTIVIRAL (2012) movie review

Antiviral (2012) d. Cronenberg, Brandon (Canada)

Considering that we’re probably not going to see Daddy David return to his horror/sci-fi roots any time soon, it’s somewhat heartening to see his offspring picking up the mantle in such an unabashed fashion. That the subject matter lives and breathes in an identifiably Cronenbergian realm almost goes without saying, but it’s a brave gesture to embrace it so fully – knowing the temptation would exist for comparisons, BC opts to meet said criticisms head on by showing us what his version of body horror looks like.
