It's not where they died. It's not even where they lived. It's much simpler than that. They simply stay near what they loved. That's what keeps them here.

Horror haterating hollerating:
EATING MISS CAMPBELL (2022): Scattershot, self-consciously edgy Troma pastiche/parody of HEATHERS, JAWBREAKER, and GINGER SNAPS, about a sardonic, fourth-wall-breaking Goth British vegan lesbian teen (Lyndsey Craine), whose attraction to her new American English teacher (Lala Barlow) coincides with her discovery of a powerful appetite for human flesh, and with a deranged new high school contest whose winner will receive a handgun and the opportunity to turn it on either their classmates or themselves. One of those comedies that's so determined to offend that the best response is to just roll your eyes, it would probably work better if it were at least a little bit coherent and less cluttered with unfunny private jokes. Nonetheless, Craine's bitchy snark is kind of fun, and the script takes potshots at so many satiric targets that it does occasionally hit one or two. CONTAINS LESBIANS? The protagonist and the titular Miss Campbell are both gay, but note that the double entendre title is meant very literally in both senses. VERDICT: Depending on your tolerance for sophomoric edgelord bullshit and jokes about school shootings, CSA, and teen suicide (not to mention the cannibalism!), you might find this either mildly amusing or the worst thing you've ever seen; fans of the CHUCKY show may appreciate its brand of glib, self-aware ghoulishness.
VENUS (2022): Occasionally creepy but ultimately rather routine horror movie about a nightclub dancer named Lucía (Ester Expósito), who seeks refuge with her estranged sister Rocío (Ángela Cremonte) after stealing a bag of drugs from her employers and ends up acting in loco parentis for her young niece Alba (Inés Fernández) after Rocío unexpectedly flees in terror of an old woman downstairs (Magüi Mira), who Alba says has the power to enter other people's dreams. Allegedly based on the H.P. Lovecraft story "The Dreams in the Witch House" (WEIRD TALES, July 1933), although the resemblance is very slight, the story's gradual segue from gritty drama to horror is interesting, but the disparate pieces never quite gel and the eventual explanation of what's going on is ho-hum. Expósito is very good at this sort of thing, and she has a nice rapport with Fernández — excellent as a little girl who doesn't yet understand when she should be afraid — but the supernatural elements never attain a really Lovecraftian sense of dread, and pale next to grislier but more mundane moments like a memorably gruesome scene where Lucía tries to patch herself up after being stabbed. CONTAINS LESBIANS? No. VERDICT: Not bad of its type, but it could have used more Lovecraft and less ROSEMARY'S BABY.

[•REC]
English title: [REC]
Cada noche, Ángela (Manuela Velasco), una joven reportera de una televisión local, sigue con su cámara a un grupo profesional distinto. Esta noche le toca entrevistar a los bomberos y tiene la secreta esperanza de poder asistir en directo a un impactante incendio. Pero la noche transcurre tranquilamente. Y cuando, por fin, reciben la llamada de una anciana que se ha quedado encerrada en su casa, no le queda otro remedio que seguirlos durante la misión de rescate. En el edificio donde vive la anciana, los vecinos están muy asustados. La mujer, encerrada en su piso, lanza unos gritos desgarradores... Es sólo el comienzo de una larga pesadilla y de un dramático reportaje único en el mundo.

the [REC] movies go out on a bombastic note, and this one basically does the second movie but bigger and more visually interesting because of the setting change. unfortunately it's also like 20 minutes too long and it feels like the third act goes on for an hour by itself. really stupid, but kinda fun, in a dumb action-thriller way. this doesn't really have any ambitions beyond being a fun time and trying to tie up the loose ends in a satisfying way, and i think it does a decent enough job for the series as a whole to still feel kinda fun, like the highs were really high, and the lows were pretty low but never really low enough to make it feel like a waste of time. this one really feels like Resident Evil tbh.

REC vs. Quarantine: A Tale of Two Terrifying Tapes
When it comes to horror, there’s often a fascination with how cultural context can shape the same story differently. The Spanish film [REC] (2007) and its American remake Quarantine (2008) present an intriguing case study in this regard. Both films, at their core, are about a late-night television crew who find themselves trapped in an apartment building where a deadly infection spreads. However,…
