Anguish

Lerner as a slasher was notwhat I was expecting. Zelda is so good here. Really clever. Some great gore effects. Seek this out, itโ€™s well worth it.

Anguish

A Bay of Blood: A Ranking of Slashers (1974 - 1990) (http://boxd.it/IoH8) Birds, snails, spirals and aching eyes. A seashell and a mother's childlike voice far more sinister than she sounds. A part slasher and part thriller kind of horror creation that is somehow so invigorating to see play out the way it does. To my surprise, Anguish is one wholly original horror that starts off like a well-made slasher with hints of Psycho from its deranged mother and son antics, and then the next morphs into something so unlike the genre it presented in the first place. A roar of a horror film, a crime film and a slasher film, rolled into one unique punch of fun, tension and scares! I am truly frustrated I hadn't seen this movie earlier.

Does this thing where it completely hypnotizes you but makes you realize youโ€™re watching a movie. A breakage of walls. Meta. What is film, especially a horror film, but the psychological outburst of the psyche? If our lived experiences are the ball and chain to logic, then cinema is the tsar of our emotions. Dictates what we should feel. Itโ€™s a medium, a direct transaction, of what to feel when we leave the dark and into the light. Best not to know anything when entering this film. Part of the thrill is its potential to shock, surprise, and ultimately guide you, let you wonder what can emerge out of the screen, literally.
