and “Near Dark”
. Instead of bad skin and tremulous voices, these stylish vampires kill with impunity, ooze cool and live at night. In “Bones and All” Maren faces a more grisly choice. Cannibalism is an intractable part of her identity. She can either embrace being an “eater” or repress it. One involves killing people; the other inflicts emotional damage. She meets Sully , an older cannibal who sniffs out the nearly dead and then, like a fastidious fruitarian, waits for the fruit to drop from the tree.
Yet Sully is a musty hippie with a ratty ponytail. Lee, by contrast, is a sexy cannibal. By blurring the binary of good and bad , the film encourages its young misfit protagonist to eat her fill and forget the moral quandary that torments her. This empathetic view is what makes “Bones and All” so beguilingly original. It is a nihilistic romance that embraces the need to be yourself, regardless of prevailing ethics.
Freud believed that nightmares were fantasies in disguise. In coming-of-age horror films these subversive teenage reveries can play out. Sissy Spacek’s “Carrie” uses her telekinetic powers to destroy her school prom, an act of vengeance that appeals to anyone who had run-ins with mean girls in their youth. Supernatural stories about vampirism and lycanthropy offer a reprieve from the feelings of powerlessness and isolation that teenagers can struggle with.
Really? REALLY? Have you people read out loud what you wrote down? Didn’t sth in your head raise any alarms? This would be OK for a psychiatrist’s monthly review! Not a film where we “explore” moral quandary! There’s very little to explore! Do go see a professional! ASAP!
Hate it
Huh. You really don’t see many bisexual cannibals these days.
Isn’t this a remake of a Jimmy Stewart movie?
this is the kind of darkness that inspires those at TheEconomist ... hell with truth and journalistic integrity ... its all about bias and stupidity
Fuck what?!?!?
Good to see a classic coming of age story that we can all relate to.
WHY? Why do we need this? It achieves nothing. It's gross, just like right leaning publications are.
Absolutely disgusted by this!
Is this a film or a nightmare from some directors fantasy.
💩💩💩
Hollywood getting sicker and sicker every day.
This could be from the Onion.
Gross.
Gross. Who is the audience they were going for? How bizarre.
And they wonder why the movie theaters are empty
Essence of free marketing, great if you can get it.
Awkward considering his former costar…
Who watches this garbage, ffs?
Disgusting
Given the totality of this tweet, the challenges of growing up seem minor.
what
Ah, OK.
So a heart warming coming of age movie
Now there’s a story that needed to be told.
It would have been just as much against the wind of prevailing morality if the two teens had been portrayed as anti-abortion activists.
Mantra of the Left. Be yourself regardless of morality. And label anyone who disagrees as haters.
👎👎
Why are you doing teenage movie reviews?
look at my boobs😘
Dont know
Cause not much horror happens in your life when you're near 50 with a stable job and you just stay home reading books instead of going drinking in an isolated cabin in the woods.
Because perverts like StephenKing like to tell stories about young teens having sex. groomers
1. Market target audience 2. Sex and violence go together due to prudery/desire 3. Life is scary 4. That age group is about to leave home/go into the unknown (death is also unknown)
Great question. Horror is an underrated genre.
Because the real horror is growing up?
