Samantha Mitchell’s “RSVP” Incluvie Film Fest Review
“There’s always something you can do…to make people feel like they’re welcome”

A steroid abusing kickboxer attempts to kick the drugs and ditch the sleazy guy running his kickboxing matches. Meanwhile criminal gangs fixing the kickboxing fights wipe out each other in a gang war. The son of one gang leader tries to go legit, while the cops try to take down crooked cops working with the gangs.

The height of subversive horror cinema is Jennifer’s Body. No, I will never budge on that. Yes, Cabin in The Woods is funny, Scream is very well made, and the Scary Movie franchise is …. there. But nothing is quite as satisfying as watching the teenage succubus that is Jennifer Check rip apart boys. In the post #metoo era where the industry is far from changed, watching revenge flicks like these is probably one of the most cathartic experiences due to the slow-moving progress being made.
The 'Shaft' remake fails to capture Blaxpoitation's rebellious spirit.
As noted in the headline, I didn’t like this movie. Not to say it’s the worst thing ever, but it’s just…meh. Nothing much to it. Very generic. No surprises. At the very least, the cast is diverse so I’ll give it that.
A decade since it aired, Shameless (U.S.) has always stuck to its guns (and baseball bats) about character diversity.
