Horreur transmissible

Chase 2022-03-20 09:01:32

Sous ses airs de film d'horreur où déambule cette menace sans noms ,sorte de métaphore à l'égard des MST (on n'en doute bien), David Robert Mitchelle ancre sa caméra dans un terrain dont il détient la maîtrise totale.
Si l'oisiveté d'une adolescence spleenétique et la sexualité qui accompagne la perte de l'innocence sont évoquées, le jeune réalisateur, au travers d'une mise en scène formellement astiquée, s'évertue plutôt à confronter la terreur imaginative à la réalité ambiante - une réalité matérialisée par la toile de fond, ville fantôme avec ses rues désertées (Détroit natal du réalisateur) ruinée par le temps et hantée par une nostalgie qui semble ne plus quitter.

    Calling you promiscuous, calling you promiscuous... A loud slap in the face to the one-night stand, YP comrades! The subject matter is novel and the shots are beautiful. It belongs to the horror from the atmosphere, the horror from the inside out, which is a plus! This movie is interesting. When I watch it, I will unconsciously keep staring at the distant picture to see if there are any figures. But the heroine is really annoying, her character and appearance are not cute!

    The picture, theme, and music are all above the standard, but the plot is a bit scattered

  • Hugh: Okay, even though it is following you I can still see it. It is not done with me either. Okay, like I told you, all you can do is pass it on to someone else.

    Kelly Height: What the fuck are you talking about?

    Hugh: She can do the same thing I did. It should be easier for her, she is a girl. Any guy would be with you. Just sleep with someone else and tell him to do the same thing. Maybe it will never come back.

  • Yara: When I was a little girl my parents would not allow me to go south of 8th mile. And I did not even know what that meant until I got a little older. And I started realizing that. That was where the city started and the suburbs ended. And I used to think about how shitty and weird was that. I mean I had to ask permission to go to the state fair with my best friend and her parents only because it was a few blocks past the border.
