#ArrowFrightFest 2021 – Day One
Micro reviews for: DEMONIC / THE KINDRED / CRABS!
1313: HAUNTED FRAT (2011)
In brief: A vengeful spirit takes possession of the fresh meat on campus.
SILVER BULLET (1985)
The werewolf FX have a well-cuddled Care Bear quality that makes you want to rub the creature’s belly for rainbow wishes.
GOOD MANNERS (2017)
In brief: Leaves you with that feeling of being fully satisfied by something you haven’t seen before & can’t wait to see again.
INTO THE GRIZZLY MAZE (2015)
In brief: A casting clusterfuck of a bear hunt that comes completely undone with some appalling CGI in its closing stages.
MANEATER (2015)
In brief: The classic bear bait & switch, a monster slash survival movie suffering a hormone-induced identity crisis.
BACKCOUNTRY (2014)
In brief: In the battle of (wo)man vs bear, chalk this win up to the beast.
1313: ACTOR SLASH MODEL (2011)
In brief: 1313’s “meat puppets” go meta as an overlooked actor avenges the roles he lost to twinkier thesps.
1313: BOY CRAZIES (2011)
In brief: A reluctant model slash vampire discovers the extent of his preternatural powers.
THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT (1972)
In brief: A fascinating low budget exploitation shocker that retains enough raw power to justify its watershed reputation.
ANNOUNCEMENT: Queer Horror Nights!
Coming to London/UK in 2021/2: badly behaved movie nights for impolite queers.
RAW (2016)
In brief: Julia Ducournau’s unsettling debut solo feature that gets under your skin & stays there like a terrible, tunneling disease.
