2023 Horror Challenge: [20/?]

↳“I wasn't striving for anything. I just wanted to make something. And I can't sit on my couch and watch t.v. or think that the internet is going to inspire me because I'm fucking thirty years old. And my parents are still giving me money. And I bore the shit out of them. And I work jobs that I hate that I have to beg to get. Do you know what it means to be broke? It means that you are broken. That you don't work.“ Dave Made a Maze (2017) dir. Bill Watterson

Plot: Dave, an artist who has yet to complete anything significant in his career, builds a fort in his living room out of pure frustration, only to wind up trapped by the fantastical pitfalls, booby traps, and critters of his own creation.

Starring: Nick Thune, Meera Rohit Kumbhani & Adam Busch

Okay, finally a movie where I'm gonna stay positive in a review!! lol This watch was such a bizarre one, in the best kinda way. It was so fun and creative as a concept that I couldn't help but to admire the execution of it all. Horror comedies are my go-to so it's no surprise I was gonna be the target audience for it. It's pretty funny throughout imo, just as whacky as you might expect the humor to be for a movie with this kinda idea. I kinda love how it just jumps right in with his girlfriend discovering what Dave did and her really not getting that he's stuck in his maze, having no idea from the outside what's going on in it before exploring it to save him. Enter the rest of the cast who all add a little something as well, in particular Adam Busch, who had me laughing as Gordon. I rather like how they chose to handle the violence because it truly fit the vibe of the whole thing and felt very fresh. Because otherwise it could have been really gory and possibly been a little off-putting with the rest of the movie. But I dug this little strange flick, quite honestly. It committed to its concept, which I really appreciated. I was entertained. That's all I really hoped for when I clicked play because I truly had no idea what I was in beforehand. It's a hidden gem imo.

Dave Made a Maze (Visual Diary-4)

The Brazilian adventure and horror film "Dave Made a Maze" was released in 2017. Looking at the poster in general, typographic arrangements evoke a child's inner world. At first glance, it may be thought that the poster, where typographic arrangements are in the foreground, does not include a human figure. However, when the poster is examined in detail, it is noticed that the figure of the child, which seems to have disappeared in the image that creates the impression of the attic, climbs from the stairs to a compartment. Details such as a chimney, staircase, and room to support the appearance of the attic or house are included. The typeface chosen for "Dave Made a Maze" on the poster reflects a sense of adventure and mystery, while the texture of the typeface refers to the figure of a child.

The directional arrows, directional lettering, sharp wheels, and dark areas used in the poster and the patch, gutter, and ladder visuals in the cardboard used in the texture of the font make it easier to evoke the subject and genre of the film. In this movie poster, it can be concluded that typographic elements are read and perceived comfortably. It can be said that visual elements and typographic arrangement are in harmony.

Dave Made a Maze

Shudder keeps sneaking in films that aren’t really horror, but it doesn’t matter because they’re so darned good. Bill Watterson’s DAVE MADE A MAZE (2017, also on Amazon Prime) is almost manically creative. It’s so filled with ideas, it’s not surprising that not all of them quite fit, but it’s such a giddy delight, you may be tempted to let it pass. Dave (Nick Thune) is a failure at 30. All his bright, creative ideas go nowhere, so he keeps begging for jobs he hates just to keep his head above water. While his girlfriend (Meera Rohit Kumbhani) is away for the weekend, he builds a cardboard fort that turns into a self-sustaining labyrinth complete with booby traps and bloodthirsty minotaur (pro wrestler John Hennigan, best known as John Morrison). When Kumbhani comes home, her efforts to get him out lead to a wild party that spills over into the maze with sometimes deadly effects. Among the interlopers are hangdog best friend Gordon (Adam Busch) and a documentary crew lead by the delightfully deadpan James Ubaniak. The proliferation of objects, or maybe just object, is reminiscent of Ionesco’s plays, but with the spirit of improv comedy. The various spaces are visual wonders. At one point Dave and some of his rescuers go through a series of tubes and come out as cardboard puppets. When a booby trap takes someone out, the wound gushes red paper. There’s a tribute to CITIZEN KANE (1941) that starts funny but wears out its welcome, but for the rest it’s just a garden of cardboard delights. To Watterson and co-writer Sears’ credit, they avoid the pitfall of making Kumbhani the turd in the punchbowl. Though she’s clearly the sensible one in the relationship, you also can see why she stays with Dave. She keeps succumbing to the more charming aspects of the labyrinth, and the actress has a great, goofy smile that lights up the screen whenever she gets sucked into the fun of it all.

Dave builds a fort in his living room out of pure frustration, only to wind up trapped by the fantastical pitfalls, booby traps, and critters of his own creation.

Very original and highly inventive. At times it lost me briefly with its weirdness. But overall a whole lot of fun to watch, and it doesn't overstay its welcome. Michel Gondry comes to mind.
