Echo Chamber - 127
@EchoChamberFP is coming at you today with three films, ones streaming on Netflix, one's on Shudder today and the other is hitting the Festival Scene today! We've got action, fear, and erotic rebirth!
We start off with Lluís Quílez's new film 'Bajocero' which is streaming on Netflix. It tells the story of a policeman who transfers to a new precinct and his first duty is to transport prisoners in the dead of night on a lonely back road, what could possibly go wrong!
Nora Unkel wrote & directed 'A Nightmare Wakes' which hits Shudder today. The film explores the fateful trip to Lake Geneva with her lover Percy Shelley and stepsister Claire Clairmont. During this time she suffers a miscarriage, and also the birth of her famous novel 'Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus', while trapped in an opium-fuelled fever dream where reality and the novel clash!
Josie Hess and Isabel Peppard's documentary 'Morgana' is playing at the 'San Francisco Indie Fest' and documents Morgana Muse's sexual reawakening. From a dutiful housewife stuck in a loveless, sexless marriage, ready to end her life. After an encounter with a male escort, she rises up to become a celebrated sex-positive feminist porn star!
