Detroit teen Jay (Maika Monroe) does the deed with a fella who ungallantly announces that he’s just infected her with a curse. From now on, she’ll be pursued by a sinister shape-shifter that disguises itself as friends and strangers alike and won’t stop until she’s dead. The only way of avoiding its attentions, at least temporarily, is – you guessed it! – to pass the hex on by shagging somebody else. US indie filmmaker David Robert Mitchell‘s suspenseful, atmospheric film takes the popular ‘sex=death’ horror trope and welds it to the old onwardly transmitted curse theme that goes all the way to MR James’s Casting the Runes, via all those Ring-style Japanese horror films. But his main reference point is clearly John Carpenter’s original Halloween. Go here for our full review.
It’s back on screen in spooky ol’ Redcliffe Caves as part of this year’s Horror in the Caves Halloween warm-up weekend, courtesy of Bristol Film Festival. Go here for ticket details.
