Accused of witchcraft, a beautiful woman (Debbie D) is chased into the forest where she dies in a quicksand bog. But her spirit lives on, seeking revenge, and longing for the touch of another woman. Four people enter her woods for a photo shoot. Barbara Joyce is the makeup person and believes the witch does indeed exist. Veronika Blu and Pamela Sutch are the models and Luke Marlowe is the photographer. Each faces the witch and dies a horrible death! Pam and Barbara sink in the quicksand while Veronika Blu is attacked by living vines, stripped naked, and then raped by the witch! Will the owner of the photography studio (Dean Paul) and his assistant (Elizabeth Raven) learn the truth of what happened to their friends and will they survive the answer? Plus see the featurette Deadly Vines starring Laura Giglio as a young woman who comes face to face with the living vines from Powell Forest! (full nudity, lesbianism, violence, living vines, quicksand)
Its predictability shouldn’t distract from the enjoyment that the pure cinematic imagination behind the camera elicits. It is a movie of crises both moral and mortal, oozing with CGI, and thoroughly enjoyable.
As an extremely avid fan of DC’s animation, I’ve become familiar with the way the studio uses Batman as a bit of a Trojan Horse to introduce some of their lesser known characters.
An aspect of She-Ra that I find refreshing is even though a large portion of the cast is on the LGBTQ+ Spectrum, being gay is never mentioned. While this might initially sound like a negative thing, in the show’s land of Etheria being on the gay spectrum is shown to be so common and normalized that straight isn’t the default. As much as there is to appreciate about narratives revolving around the obstacles that may come from being non-heteronormative, it’s nice to get immersed in a world where no one bats an eye at all to any sort of differing identity.
Films staring black transgender actresses/actors are few and far between, it’s refreshing to see a demographic represented in film that hardly gets any attention. This is especially important as the Black trans community has been shown in studies to face the highest level of discrimination amongst general trans and non-binary groups. That is why it’s so crucial that we amplify their voices through any way we can, storytelling being a great medium to do so.
A teen comedy that nobody wants to see.
Like Stars on Earth is a representative movie that talks about dyslexia to young audiences and why it is important in today's generation.
