Incluvie Classics - 'Ganja & Hess'
'Ganja & Hess' is a 1973 experimental horror film, written and directed by the visionary auteur Bill Gunn. It was meant to be a straightforward blaxploitation film – but director Gunn had grander ambitions.

In a small town in southern Italy lives the Di Gennaro family. Gennaro, the householder, is a noted dentist, married to Anna, a housewife, a few years away from converting to Buddhism. They have two sons: Roberto, last year medical student and guitarist in a small band, and Mattia who attended the first year of high school. The Di Gennaros appear to be a perfect family, but each character hides flaws and excesses.

The repeated actions, the blood on the petals, the rustling under the floor…An ambient short horror film takes us into another realm.
Overall, “Dark Fate” is a run-of-the-mill flick. Together, Reyes and Davis have excellent chemistry, but their characters’ story is nothing new, lacking surprise and deep emotion. During the middle points, the film drags considerably, and when the action hits, it feels consistently tight, eliminating the rhythm and fluidity of conflicts.
John Fawcett’s "Ginger Snaps" intertwines the lore of the werewolf to the hellish experience of a young girl going through puberty.
Disney has long since had a reputation for creating underwhelming sequels. Is Zootopia 2 any different?
I think these messages and the way they are presented in this small-town in Texas are increasingly more important as the internet/ social media becomes more and more critical and judgemental every day. Love yourself today and every day because as Ru Paul always says: “If you can’t love yourself, how in the hell are you gonna love someone else?”
