Curious mix betweenScreamAnd the day of the marmot,This is a Wonderful Knifewas pointed out to Gérardmer. This baroque Canadian film hits the black comedy and slasher squares one by one. It is in the heart of Angel Falls city that a serial killer hits Christmas Eve. While Winniebeardoes not recover from the massacre that affected her loved ones, the young woman (archetype of the naive blonde who can switch at any moment towards theMass waller) wishes never to have come to the world. No luck, a mysterious northern aurora fulfills her wish and propels her into a parallel universe. So he hires a life-size Cluedo to find this damn masked killer...

Do you like scary movies?
Nostalgic of the 2000s? So maybe you should keep reading her lines. If you too have a little blazed ahead of the next oneScream who has already suffered from (many) polemics, no doubt that a double of yourself is active at the bottom of your brains to relive this time when the killers were as violent as they were clumsy. A time whenScreamthe chronicles with all these young Americans who were trading their mask of Mickael Myers at Halloween against that of this new entangled with the expression ofCreeMunch.
A popular phenomenon that Puritan households in the New Jersey pavilions saw with a bad eye for their innocent offspring. We still remember the heated debates that were tearing up the TV sets to see if the film should be censored, as if it were a push-to-crime, the black beast to shoot after a series of various morbid facts that only the US can produce. A moral panic like cinema had rarely had since the very subversiveOrange Mechanicaland will produce replicas much later with the bulldozerGTAand his highly tortured derivativeManhunt. Certainly,Screamwas more than a horror movie, he had his own signature with a murderer « farcer » But bestial, ready to come out of a bush to kill his unfortunate victims, all accompanied by a strident sound that still whistles in my eardrums. Real brand name, the trivialization of the raw violence and the sound of the blade that defends the air then the flesh were intimately linked to the gender identity.
Screamwas the perfect standard ofWhodunnit, contraction of «Who [has] done it? »literally « Who did this? ». Nothing to do with Steve Urkel you will understand... these films are based on a killer whose identity is unknown and a gang of young people who will serve as pretexts for murders with various and varied operating methods with the same common denominator, inventiveness. It is that the murder must be fun and graphic above all. So the same DNA forIs a wonderful KnightWho nevertheless manages to surprise by tilting towards other cult films and titillating our sentimental fiber, the one dear to the children of the last century bent in all these regressive slashers.
Deeply rooted in our reptilian brain, violence and blood sheaves are all celebrations for the greedy viewer of hemoglobin. And on that side, you're not going to lack new blood! Tyler MacIntyre's movie no longer counts the victims. When it starts with an introduction led beating drum, one is immediately in the gore and beta atmosphere that one loves. Each character has its main feature dear to the school of slascher wayUntil Dawn.We let you discover more in our video of the Gérardmer festival where Brice and I exchanged on this delusional Christmas movie!Tyler MacIntyredoes not hide his references and he shows sincere generosity from beginning to end. This is a wonderful Knife is an original slasher that is highly recommended!
