It’s not many movies that begin feeling like some kind of goofy fun romantic comedy and transforms in to a war concerning vampires. Patrick Rea is up for the challenge of delivering on a movie with a firm tongue in cheek that’s mostly viewed through the lens of a modern video camera. I’m not too sure how vampires appear on screen but that’s for the artist to decide on terms when it comes to on screen vampires. “The Night Is Young” is a pretty good mixing of genres and sub-genres, centering itself on a woman who is on the hunt for a new girlfriend.
If you wanted something original in 2024 then by gum “Cuckoo” is one of the most original horror movies of the year. It’s so original that it works to the detriment of what Tilman Singer is trying to accomplish as a statement about bodily autonomy. Much as I wanted to love “Cuckoo,” Tilman’s mix of sub-genres watches like a lazy nonsensical riff on Cronenberg’s early films by a lazy film student with none of Cronenberg’s daring or creativity. It just literally seems to throw things at the wall to see if it sticks, as many have expressed.
And what doesn’t work just lingers like a festering trail of bread crumbles leading in to this hang nail of nonsense.
It should go without saying that I really wanted to love Michael Varrati’s “There’s a Zombie Outside”; somewhere deep down there’s a great film thar doesn’t pitch itself as one thing and is really something else. What I initially assumed was some kind of supernatural descent in to horror transforms in to what is basically “Adaptation” but for the horror sect. It’s an eighty minute horror themed drama about impostor syndrome, and trying to complete a product of love before it begins consuming our lives.
