Echo Chamber - 126
Today’s @EchoChamberFP comes with thrills and action! Two films both dealing with situations no one would want to find themselves in!
We start things off with 'Songbird' which is from Adam Mason. It's a pandemic thriller, set four years into the virus, which is now COVID-23. Nico, a bike courier, has fallen in love Sara, who is living with her Grandmother. So the two can never be in contact. While they're working out a way to move to a safe zone, Sara's immune bubble is shattered and Nico is in a race against time to save her. Starring in the piece is KJ Apa, Sofia Carson, Craig Robinson, Bradley Whitford, Peter Stormare, Alexandra Daddario, Paul Walter Hauser, and Demi Moore.
We bring things home with Ludovico Di Martino's new film 'The Beast' (aka 'La Belva') Which is about an ex officer in the Special Forces who's ostracised himself from his wife and two kids, because of PTSD and trauma he's been trying to bury. Well, when his daughter is kidnapped, he has to embrace those dark memories, in his fight to try and rescue her. The film stars Fabrizio Gifuni, Lino Musella, Monica Piseddu, Emanuele Linfatti, Giada Gagliardi & Andrea Pennacchi.
