“Onslaught” is Insensitive, to Say the Least
Between its problematic nature, its lack of originality, and the senselessness of its violence, Onslaught cannot be recommended in good faith.
The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil
On the perfectly tidy island of “Here”, no one questions the blackness that surrounds them. But when humble map-maker, Dave, makes a shocking discovery, his attempt to raise the alarm is ignored. His curiosity stifled, Dave’s body rebels, and he sprouts a wild beard with a life of its own. With the unstoppable beard threatening to swamp the entire island, the residents mobilise in an effort to tame it. Chaos ensues, standards slip, but a new curiosity starts to take hold. As the blinkered corporation that runs the island desperately battles to regain control, Dave realises the beard is a force for good and works with it to open people’s minds and free Here from the tyranny of conformity.
