This Mexican found footage horror is done in an old school retro style with grainy camera, retro sound settings and great atmosphere. It all starts with mockumentary black and white collage of people talking about Manuel and Altair, young couple who disappeared and how they saw them scared to death of something running through the woods and their house burned. Well, then the movie takes us back to newly wed couple who move into a lovely house near woods but at night strange things start to happen. First their dog disappears, then returns grown up from being a puppy in a day, Altair starts to act strangely and Manuel seeks help of her sister and their mutual friend. Well, all the settings for good found footage are here. Running, night scare jumps, some expected scenes and this would not take this movie away from being a decent but not great found footage horror. But, the story led me to totally another way thinking how it would end, but the ending surprised me, being one of the already used endings in some movies, but still done greatly. That makes this one a great found footage. Directed and written by Victor Dryere.
UK Ska-Punk stalwarts Faintest Idea have released a brand new single ‘Nose Dive’ taken from their forthcoming album, which will be release early 2023. Nose Dive is stream everywhere now – https://linktr.ee/faintestidea
Lyrically the song addresses trying to balance being politically active while having to hold down a full time job to keep your head above the water. Questioning whether you’re doing enough politically but also having no time to do any more.
Dani, Faintest Idea’s vocalist and bassist, says “it’s taken us a fair amount of time to finish this album in part due to us wanting to make sure we threw everything we had into it and making sure we made it all sound as big as possible. This was massively helped by the whole thing being mastered by the legendary Alan Douches (Against Me!, Bad Brains, Slackers)”.
Nose Dive features guest vocals from the one and only Riskee from ‘Riskee & the Ridicule’ and incredible keys provided by Rikk Richardson from ‘The JB Conspiracy’.
With Faintest Idea’s album just around the corner they will be loads more announcements soon. But in the mean time catch them on tour with The Slackers next week;
26/9 – Hare & Hounds – Birmingham 27/9 – Retro – Manchester 28/9 – Parish – Huddersfield 29/9 – Kanteena – Lancaster 30/9 – Underworld – London 1/10 – Brudennel Social Club – Leeds 2/10 – Think Tank – Newcastle 3/10 – The Exchange – Bristol Faintest Idea take the bouncing beat of 2 Tone Ska and smash it over the head with fast, angry UK Punk. Hailing from the East Anglian region of Britain the rabble rousing political lyrics are shouted over layers of catchy brass lines and heavy boot stomping beats. Playing anywhere and everywhere from squats to bars to festival main stages and drawing inspiration from bands such as The Specials, The Filaments & Operation Ivy this is angry political commentary that you can shout along to while stomping your feet.
Between Bodies are from Germany and this is their new full length album containing 11 songs. After listening to as a whole and when writing this, I must admit that I enjoyed this one through and through. This is a nice record filled with melodic, emotional punk rock with lots of melody, heart and superb songwriting and lyrics. The vocals are beautiful, fitting just perfectly to the songs. Guitar work delivers punk rock melodies, energy and strength but there are also some indie and post punk influences here and there, as well as pop punk. But, rather this band being snotty clone or boring pop punk, Between Bodies have that something what it takes to write great songs and play great music. This is mid tempo, not fast, but strong material nonetheless. My personal favorites are Stronger Than Me, Gallows and Crosses In The Distance.
