The Hillz (2004)

This thrilling film about feminine rage and male hostility is an incredible depiction of the fragility of the male ego.

The plot could’ve really been interesting if the elements of lycanthropy was integrated with perhaps the struggle of identity of being LGBTQ+. It's an experience for so many that as they’re starting to realizing their true selves, they feel like a monster, especially if they come from unsupportive homes or communities. Instead, the horror and transformation elements seem thrown in without contemplation of how this could deepen the narrative.

Diversity is incorporated in a way that only aids in a well-rounded conveying of stories through different lenses. The show’s success is a testament to what audiences are craving: authentic stories that broaden the mind and heart. 

“There’s always something you can do…to make people feel like they’re welcome”

Gay representation is out there, but to portray a character who's gay as a big, happy brute is a rare treat.

The heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom make their way to the big screen in this animated movie.
