Movie Review – Eight for Silver (2021) Starring Boyd Holbrook, Kelly Reilly, Alistair Petrie, Roxane Duran, and Áine Rose Daly. SYNOPSIS: In rural 19th-century France, a mysterious, possibly supernatural menace threatens a small village. John McBride, a pathologist, comes to town to investigate the danger – and exorcise some of his own demons in the process. While the post- Twilight era ushered in an abundance of inventive and left-field vampire films, werewolf cinema hasn’t ever really had the same reactionary, watershed moment. But Sean Ellis’ ( Metro Manilla, Anthropoid) Eight for Silver does just enough tinkering with the prototypical lycanthrope formula to deliver an entertaining time, in spite of its excessive length and oft-plodding pace. ....
Sundance 2021: Genre films that stood out, from A Glitch in the Matrix to Prisoners of the Ghostland Starry studio projects and A-list auteurs aren t the lifeblood of a breakout festival like Sundance. Recent years have proven one of the best ways to break out at the festival is through genre filmmaking. Prahlad Srihari February 04, 2021 08:12:45 IST As it s the first major film festival in the calendar, Sundance functions as a barometer of emerging trends and outliers. 2020 was a genre-busting production. It was a sci-fi movie that got all too real. It was a horror movie about isolation. Mostly, it was a disaster movie that even Roland Emmerich could not have imagined. The way the pandemic irrevocably reshaped our lives was reflected in many of the films in this year s line-up. ....
Amelia Crouch, Alistair Petrie and cast in Eight for Silver Brooding and baleful, even if it loses bite after a strong opening. TWITTER Boyd Holbrook plays a late 19th century pathologist investigating a violent curse laying waste to landowners and villagers in Sean Ellis reanimation of the werewolf legend. Writer-director Sean Ellis revisits the werewolf legend as a fogbound descent into Victorian Gothic in Eight for Silver. Led by Boyd Holbrook as a pathologist in the late 1800s who knows a thing or two about nightmarish curses, stalking lycanthropic beasts and family tragedy, the film is more suspenseful than scary, higher on sustained atmosphere than well-rounded characters. But it moves along at a stately pace and remains involving, driven by eerie ambient music, soupy chiaroscuro visuals and sporadic bursts of blood, gore and body horror. It won’t disturb Lon Chaney Jr. in his grave, but still offers meat for genre fans to chew on. ....
0Shares Beware the wolf, but not like before. There aren’t full moons or sexy werewolves this time around. Instead, Eight For Silver delivers a refreshingly horrifying take on werewolf lore and period piece horror. Sean Ellis’ new film is bloody, visceral, and a hell of a good time. In the late 1800s, John McBride (Boyd Holbrook) is on the hunt for the beast that killed his wife and daughter. His search takes him to a small village, the top of which resides the landowner Seamus Laurant (Alistair Petrie) and his family: his wife Isabelle (Kelly Reilly), daughter Charlotte (Amelia Crouch), and son Edward (Max Mackintosh). Shortly before McBride arrives, a land dispute between Seamus and the Romani the rightful owners of the land ends in tragedy, resulting in the leader of the Romani placing a curse on the colonizers inhabiting their land. Nightmares soon take root in the minds of the children, leading them to the burial ground of the massacre, and right to a set ....
Hidden Gems To Watch If You Love Sci-Fi Hidden Gems To Watch If You Love Sci-Fi By Amanda June Bell/Dec. 17, 2020 3:06 pm EDT/Updated: Jan. 13, 2021 1:08 pm EDT This content was paid for by Netflix and created by Looper. Some people say that truth is stranger than fiction, and while the last few years have certainly bolstered that claim, the world of science-fiction always comes through to remind us just how much weirder things could truly be. The sci-fi genre can be credited with some of the most creative reinventions of reality in all of fiction, from time- and space-bending adventure stories that boggle the mind to imaginative previews of what mankind s first contact with extraterrestrials might ....
