Cinema: Antichrist, Adoration and a Snake Woman

Just a few of upcoming films that I’m totally excited about getting to (eventually) see. If you’ve seen them already let us know what you though and leave a comment below.


Antichrist [iMDB]
This one is going to be harsh. Lars von Trier continues his weird journey through the various Hollywood genres by flitting from comedy (The Boss of It All [iMDB]) to horror with Antichrist [antichristthemovie.com]. Curiously there are only 2 cast members listed for the whole film. I’m guessing the ‘Final Girl’ rule no longer applies then…


Adoration [iMDB]
Atom Egoyan can’t help himself. The king of the multi-layered plot, he imbues each film with a depth and texture that either gathers you in or creates heavy layers of bittersweet cinematic goo. Either way so can never assume anything is going to be as simply told as it seems which is just the way we like ‘em. The trailer looks way promising…


Hissss [iMDB]
I don’t know whether to be excited about this one or not. It’s hard to know what to make of Jennifer Chambers Lynch’s follow up to the not un-commendable ‘Surveillance’ [iMDB]. Hissss [hisssthemovie.com] is the story of a ’snake woman’ and looks pretty darn gruesome. The twist being that is this film is made in India and is considered by many to be a Bollywood production. Jennifer Lynch does a Bollywood horror film. Now that is weird.
