Rue Morgue Update: January & February 2023

2023 is off to a killer start for the horror film community. Already we've had a blockbuster (M3GAN dir. Gerard Johnstone), a sleeper hit (Skinamarink dir. Kyle Edward Ball), and a third feature from a certain legacy filmmaker (Infinity Pool dir. Brandon Cronenberg). In addition, I have had the unique pleasure of reviewing three new releases from indie filmmakers: The Outwaters, Attachment, and Consecration

Attachment, in particular, was quite a stand-out - a queer love story and supernatural horror film sourced from Jewish folklore. Written and directed by first-time feature film director Gabriel Bier Gislason, and inspired by the life of lead actress Josephine Park, Attachment is a unique tale of possession and exorcism that departs from the Catholic script that has dominated the sub-genre for decades. Check out my recent work for Rue Morgue, here!
