Echo Chamber - 237 - Part One
You can hear ‘Part Two’ of this week’s episode HERE!!!
We have our first 'TWO Part' EchoChamberFP of 2023, and we've got a fire selection for you!
Signature Entertainment, XYZ Films start things off with a new indie horror. Focus Features then bring us a period drama / thriller, and we close 'Part One' with Babe Nation Films & Lionsgate's new physiological drama, which is hitting the cinema!
'The Harbinger' is written & directed by Andy Mitton. When her oldest friend (Emily Davis) is plagued by horrific nightmares from the beyond, Monique (Gabby Beans) is forced to travel to NYC. On the first night of the visit, Monique learns the dreams are contagious – and so is the HARBINGER, the plague mask-wearing demon who not only feeds on its victims’ souls, but warps reality itself to remove any trace of their existence.
'The Outfit' is the feature directorial debut from Graham Moore, which he co-wrote with Johnathan McClain. Leonard (Mark Rylance), a master English tailor who's ended up in Chicago, operates a corner tailor shop with his assistant (Zoey Deutch) where he makes beautiful clothes for the only people around who can afford them: a family of vicious gangsters. One night, two killers (Dylan O'Brien, Johnny Flynn) knock on his door in need of a favor - And Leonard is thrust onto the board in a deadly game of deception and murder.
'Alice, Darling' is the feature directorial debut of Mary Nighy, and written by Alanna Francis. Alice (Anna Kendrick) woman pushed to the breaking point by her psychologically abusive boyfriend, Simon (Charlie Carrick). While on vacation with Sophie (Wunmi Mosaku) & Tess (Kaniehtiio Horn) her close friends, Alice rediscovers the essence of herself and gains some much-needed perspective. Slowly, she starts to fray the cords of codependency that bind her. But Simon's vengeance is as inevitable as it is shattering - and, once unleashed, it tests Alice's strength, her courage, and the bonds of her deep-rooted friendships.
In 'Part One' we have:

Final Girls Berlin Film Festival - 2023
The Final Girls Berlin Film Festival - 2023
8th Edition
1st - 5th February 2023
City Kino Wedding - Berlin
'Final Girls Berlin Film Festival' showcases horror cinema that’s directed, written, or produced by women and non-binary filmmakers. We are committed to creating space for female voices and visions, whether monstrous, heroic or some messy combination of the two, in the horror genre. We've seen more than enough representations of women as beautified victims and constructions of male fantasies or anxieties, and are working towards the primacy of women as subjects and storytellers in horror.
There are three ways you can experience this years Festival:
