That's not to say it's without some gratifyingly cheap jolts. As in the original, the encroachment of authorities ratchets up tension further toward the climax, but Mickle and Damici find a denouement all their own; it'll certainly be a talking point among audiences.” VARIETY “Outdoing the original by a long shot, Mickle's slow-burn take on the story is poetic, creepy and, finally, satisfyingly gross.” INDIEWIRE “A refreshingly mature genre entry that plants queasy dread and unleashes a good dose of scares, the film is that rare modern horror movie that doesn’t simply fabri- cate its scares with the standard bag of post-production tricks and grips from start to finish. Both actresses are terrific!” THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER “Stylishly directed and unnerving to its core, Mickle's We Are What We Are is a prime example of horror done right.” THE FILMSTAGE ‘We Are What We Are’ firmly cements Mickle as one of horror’s most interesting directors. The visual storytelling skill on display here is some of the strongest the genre has seen in years.” FILMTHREAT “Featuring strong performances and taking full advantage of the melancholy Catskills setting, this is undeniably one good-looking piece of cinema.” BLOODYDISGUSTING “A grisly, outrageous tale of a small-town family of flesh- eaters that's both chilling and blackly comic.” TOTAL FILM Meet the Parkers: a family with an uncontrollable taste for flesh.

We hope audiences experiment with their film selections to an equal degree as these filmmakers have experimented with their storytelling.” SPOTLIGHT Regardless of where these films have played throughout the world, the Spotlight program is a tribute to the cinema we love.

  • Supernatural Folklore in the Blair Witch Films: New Project, New Proof
    129 Supernatural Folklore in the Blair Witch Films: New Project, New Proof Peter Turner (Oxford Brookes University) Found footage horror films can be significant examples of folk horror, juxtaposing modern technology with its capture of ancient monsters of folklore. These films frequently combine contemporary anxieties over digital technology (Blake and Aldana Reyes 2016) with more archaic fears such as witches, trolls and demons. Both The Blair Witch Project (Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez, 1999) and its second sequel Blair Witch (Adam Wingard, 2016) dramatise the search for proof of supernatural occurrences. Adam Scovell notes that the narrative of The Blair Witch Project ‘is quintessential Folk Horror through its use of rurality’. The film ‘basks in its rural/urban divide, where the naive students have completely underestimated both the landscape and the power of its folklore’ (2017: 117). The characters in these films are at once sceptical of the existence of a historical witch haunting the area and yet also open-minded enough to take their modern camera technology and try to capture evidence of a supernatural phenomenon—one rooted in the local folklore of Maryland’s woods. Developments in camera technology in the years between the production of The Blair Witch Project and Blair Witch complicate the capturing of proof, and I argue that this leads to different responses from viewers of the two films. While The Blair Witch Project and Blair Witch share many similarities in their representation of proof, there are notable differences regarding the diegetic technology that the characters have at their disposal. After exploring how an impression of authenticity is created in both films through a modern digital camera aesthetics that has substantively changed in the seventeen years between the release of these two films, I then examine how the folklore established in The Blair Witch Project is developed in the distinctive aesthetics of the 2016 sequel.

  • An Investigation of Priming, Self-Consciousness, and Allegiance in the Diegetic Camera Horror Film
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Oxford Brookes University: RADAR An investigation of priming, self-consciousness, and allegiance in the diegetic camera horror film by Peter Turner A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the award of Doctor of Philosophy by Oxford Brookes University Submitted June 2017 Statement of originality Some of the discussion of The Blair Witch Project throughout this thesis has formed the basis for a book, Devil’s Advocates: The Blair Witch Project (Auteur, 2014). Some of the discussion of priming in chapter four was also used in a conference paper, Behind the Camera: Priming the Spectator of Found Footage Horror, delivered at The Society for Cognitive Studies of the Moving Image in 2015. Sections on personal imagining also formed the basis of a conference paper, Personal Imagining and the Point-of-View Shot in Diegetic Camera Horror Films, delivered at The Society for Cognitive Studies of the Moving Image in 2017. Finally, significant amounts of Chapter 3 and Chapter 5 will be featured in two chapters of an upcoming edited collection on found footage horror films with the working title [Rec] Terror: Essays on Found Footage Horror Films. i Abstract The main research question underpinning this study asks why and how the diegetic camera technique has become so popular to both contemporary horror filmmakers and audiences. In order to answer this question, this thesis adopts a mainly cognitive theoretical framework in order to address the mental schemata and processes that are elicited and triggered by these films.

Associate Professor Geoffrey Green, Ph.D. Associate Professor METAFICTIONAL MONSTERS AND FOUND-FICTION NIGHTMARES: REALITY AND NARRATOLOGICAL STRATEGY IN HORROR FICTION Zoe Elizabeth Dumas San Francisco, California 2019 As technology becomes ever-prevalent in modem society and our lives are documented for all to see on a daily basis, it is more important than ever that we understand the role of narrative in our media. This project explores works of horror fiction that work upon the conceit of being a found text that is in some way representative of the real world. I argue that these texts, rather than just being an adrenaline rush, are able to teach us how to be better readers of the world around us. I study a breadth of horror texts, focusing specifically on the film The Blair Witch Project, the novel House o f Leaves, and the Twitter story “Dear David.” Each text ushers in a new mode of horror, in which we never know who—or what—we can trust.

  • Lens-Sense: on Seeing a World As Sensed by a Camera
    Lens-sense: on seeing a world as sensed by a camera Can a camera sense what a human eye cannot? This question was of great concern to early film theorists. It has since been rejuvenated by recent trends in contemporary cinema that present the photographic lens as transcending the limitations of human vision. In this article, I propose that camera-centric vision offers us particular ways of seeing the world. More particularly, I suggest that camera-centric images raise speculative ideas about what the world may look and feel like to technologies of (digital) reproduction and visualisation. In what follows, I will investigate how found footage horror and the films of American director, Tony Scott, enact a camera-centric vision, concentrating my analysis on scenes from V/H/S/2 (Simon Barrett, Jason Eisener, Gareth Evans, Gregg Hale, Eduardo Sánchez, Timo Tjahjanto and Adam Wingard, 2013) and Déjà Vu (Tony Scott, 2006). Stylistically and thematically, these films seem far apart. Found footage horror deals with how non-human terrors appear to the human as well as how their appearances are effectuated by audio-visual recording technologies. The themes explored by Tony Scott do not concern monsters or invisible terrors but a making visible of tensions and atmospheres that do not necessarily reside within or originate from any particular human character. His films make visible the tensions evoked in a given narrative situation, as well as the performative affective potentials of these atmospheres. What found footage horror and Scott’s films have in common is their creative use of cinema as a medium of speculation.

  • [.Watch.] Godzilla Vs Kong (2021) Movie Online Full 13 March 2021
    [.Watch.] Godzilla vs Kong (2021) Movie Online Full 13 March 2021 The runtime for the upcoming Adam Wingard-directed Godzilla vs. Kong has reportedly had its runtime revealed. The film serves as the latest installment for Legendary Entertainment's MonsterVerse, a shared cinematic universe for Godzilla, King Kong, and other iconic movie monsters. Godzilla vs. Kong is preceded by three films: Godzilla (2014), Kong: Skull Island (2017), and Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019). The reception for the films has been mixed, but all three have been relative box office successes. Despite only containing a few movies, Legendary's MonsterVerse has been one of the more successful cinematic universes in modern cinema. One of Legendary's previous Godzilla films' more common criticisms has been the overstuffed story and bloated runtime. Gareth Edwards' Godzilla came in at 2 hours and 3 minutes. Michael Dougherty's Godzilla: King of the Monsters ran for 2 hours and 12 minutes - making the films the fourth and second-longest Godzilla movies in history, respectively. The vast majority of the Japanese Toho Godzilla films have runtimes under two hours. Both of Legendary's Godzilla movies have been criticized for lingering too much on the human stories - and the films ended up dragging because of it. Now, according to a French website called AlloCine, Godzilla vs. Kong's runtime has been revealed - the film will come in at 1 hour and 53 minutes. Assuming the runtime is correct, this not only makes it the shortest Legendary Godzilla film - but the shortest MonsterVerse film in general (Kong: Skull Island came in at 1 hour and 58 minutes).
