October Challenge Day 14
There is just something about generational trauma films that scares the piss out of me.
Let's talk about:
Here we have three brothers who regroup under the decaying family home, after the youngest brother starts developing symptoms of their dead father.
This film is absolutely disgusting. I mean, The Thing levels of practical effects. There's something lurking in the family home and it's gross AF.
I found myself reacting to the morbid '80s style of the house, the sibling connection (as I have several brothers) and the courage it takes for children to face their generational demons - bestowed to them against their will.
This is a complex film and I wouldn't recommend it unless you've healed from a traumatizing religious background and/or from taking care of an aging parent.
It's also oddly funny at times. Funny in the way you'll have a case of the giggles at the most inappropriate time, odd.
Again, profoundly graphic, gruesome, and shudder inducing. This is a film for HORROR fans and not light horror fans.
Best watched with siblings or friends with parents in a nursing home, suffering from dementia. Pairs with a bad looking cake and some soup.
I watched this film on Shudder or use Horror Habit's side bar to see where else you can find this heart-wrenching, gut punching feature.
