New Release Review - "Daddy's Head"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2024-10-16

When I tell you Daddy's Head is a horror movie about a young boy left to live with his stepmother when his father dies as a result of a car accident, you'll probably jump to your own conclusions. Stepmothers have gotten a particularly bad rap in fiction over the centuries, so much so that the noun is more often than not prefaced by "wicked." As such, you probably think this is another story of an evil stepmother trying to get rid of the burden of the kid she's been saddled with, and you might even suspect that she was responsible for her husband's death. But writer/director Benjamin Barfoot subverts all our ingrained expectations of stepmother figures in fiction by presenting us with one who is very much the protagonist rather than the antagonist.

Cinematic Wonder plays at the New Jersey Film Festival Jim Haynes AV Concert

by Irene Fizer
published 2024-10-15

The opening shot of the planet Jupiter’s swirling rings of fire, in Anita LaBelle and Albert Gabriel Nigrin’s 2024 experimental film Ascension from the Disco Inferno, becomes deeply ominous in retrospect, as a vision of an uninhabitable, hellish orb.   As the film tracks the descent of two club girls into an infernal discotheque—seemingly located in the cavernous basement of an abandoned mall, and lit by a glittering disco ball that bathes the space in crimson-colored sparks—the two women are revealed to be modern-day maenads, i.e., female followers of Dionysus, in search of a mindless state of bliss summoned via the copious ingestion of liquor and rituals of ecstatic dance.
