Forget the Flowers this Mother’s Day: Movies for Moms and Daughters
Skip the brunch. These movies — horror, animation, dark comedy, and one suburban serial killer
Hannah Black and Megan Petersen’s DROUGHT: NAPLES INTERNATIONAL Film Fest REVIEW: celebrates the eccentricities that make a family
Indeed, Drought is a film about family dysfunction. It’s also a film about celebrating the oddities and eccentricities and foibles that make tight knit family members so integral to one another. It’s no wonder then that the Duplass brothers were drawn to fund such a story.
SHORTS and to the Point: Matt Mercer’s FEEDING TIME serves up a tasty scares + laughs cinematic snack
Even if people aren’t chortling their heads off, I think the lightness and quirkiness plays. And the main reason I say my concern was mostly with the laughs is because I think first introducing some buoyancy into the proceedings opens the audience up for the scares later. I think it makes the scares more impactful as the film plays out.
