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!

SIGHTSEERS (2012) movie review


Sightseers (2012) d. Wheatley, Ben (UK)

Wheatley, who scored high marks last year with his soul-shattering hitman-meets-Wicker Man masterpiece Kill List, returns to the fray with a hilarious dark comedy that trades off between belly laughs and body counts. A quirky young couple (Alice Lowe, Steve Oram) set off on a “getting to know you” caravanning holiday of the English countryside, one that finds itself punctuated by bonding through bloodletting and shared psychopathy.
