Echo Chamber - 124
Today’s @EchoChamberFP takes a gander at three films, two are family friendly and the last is a grown up, twisted 'Brothers Grimm' fable.
Robert Rodriguez new film 'We Can Be Heroes', has been tearing it up on Netflix and see's him revisit some old characters, Sharkboy and Lavagirl. It's about the kids of Earth's top superheroes, who have to learn to work together, when their parents are kidnapped by Alien's. It stars Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Pedro Pascal, YaYa Gosselin, Boyd Holbrook, Adriana Barraza, Sung Kang, Taylor Dooley, and Christian Slater.
'Away' is an animated visual exploration created solely by Gints Zilbalodis. It's a silent story about a boy who finds himself stranded and pursued by an ominous dark monster. His companion along the way is a small chick who he saves. And together they on a search for understanding and home.
Shudder today are releasing to the world, 'Hunted', the new film from Vincent Paronnaud. It's a hybrid survival, revenge feature, story, which follows Eve, a young lady who after a hectic week looks to unwind at a bar. She flirts with a guy, who along with his brother attempts to torture and kill her. But, Eve is a fighter and she's all about survival...along with revenge! It definitely puts a new spin on Little Red Riding Hood!
