Horse Girl (2020) - Movie Review

After briefly talking about Alison Brie in my last review, I figured it’d be worth checking out her latest starring role today as well. And man, was I thrown for a loop; she is straight-up unrecognisable in this thing. I mean, I literally just watched her on the big screen just a few hours earlier, and yet seeing her in this, I had to keep reminding myself that this is the same actress who first caught my attention in Sleeping With Other People. And the content itself is reflective of that, both in that it’s a marked departure from her more comedic work, and that it’s largely about surreal disconnects from reality. Namely, her own.

Daniel Isn't Real (2019) - Movie Review

Elijah Wood may have a pretty solid career as an actor, but his pedigree as a producer is on a whole other level. With his production company SpectreVision, the man has shown a real taste and willingness to back some pretty bizarre shit over the last few years. From the school-set zom-com Cooties, to the acclaimed vampiric western A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night, to the trash masterpiece The Greasy Strangler, to the Boomer-scorching acid trip of Mandy from last year; SpectreVision is getting dangerously close to Point Grey Pictures for studios close to my heart of hearts. And their latest to reach cinemas over here certainly fits in that wheelhouse of cracked-out brilliance, although in a different way that what has come before.
