ALL GIRLS WEEKEND (2016)
Alone and afraid in the wilderness, a panic stricken woman and a
young girl finds themselves on the run from malevolent forces. The sort
of unseen evil that makes spooky chanting sounds but is always invisible
to keep the budget down. To nobody’s surprise the voices demand a blood
sacrifice. I’ve always thought an autumnal forest setting offers all
kinds of possibilities for a no frills production like this. But I guess
it’s not a big shock when the same old clichés are utilised. There’s
little in terms of creativity even though the makers seem a bit sure of
themselves; after the prologue a poster for the movie itself is
prominently displayed in an apartment. Avant garde forth wall break or
weird vanity? You be the judge.
