On This Day in 2017: Ana Asensio’s MOST BEAUTIFUL ISLAND released

“Most Beautiful Island” is a psychological thriller examining the plight of undocumented female immigrants hoping to make a life in New York. Shot on Super 16 with an intimate, voyeuristic sensibility, “Most Beautiful Island” chronicles one harrowing day in the life of Luciana, a young immigrant woman struggling to make ends meet while striving to escape her past. As Luciana’s day unfolds, she is whisked, physically and emotionally, through a series of troublesome, unforeseeable extremes. Before her day is done, she inadvertently finds herself a central participant in a cruel game. Lives are placed at risk, while psyches are twisted and broken for the perverse entertainment of a privileged few.
“Anchored by Asensio’s fearless and gripping performance,
Most Beautiful Island directs an unflinching point of view toward an often invisible population.”
-Los Angeles Times
“a character study of survival in a capitalistic,
hierarchical world that is not completely bereft of humanity…
an intriguing and slow-burn reinvention of survival horror.”
-Austin Chronicle
“Uses restless tracking shots, hectic cityscapes, ambient noise
and sequences of prolonged stillness to conjure unease and dread”.
-The New York Times
Available on Prime Video, Tubi, PlutoTV

On This Day in 2014: Adrián García Bogliano’s LATE PHASES released

Blind Vietnam vet Ambrose McKinley (Nick Damici, Stakeland) moves into a retirement community where he hopes to live out his final days. The only problem: he’s living right down the street from a vicious, skin-shredding lycanthrope. Eating Ambrose’s beloved dog, Shadow, is the last mistake it’ll ever make. Now it’s finally pissed off the only human being as tough and as hard-to-kill as itself.
Creative camerawork and some fantastic prosthetic work combine
for a fairly stunning sequence the likes of which
we haven’t seen in years.
Rob Hunter FILM SCHOOL REJECTS
Utterly unusual, totally fresh, and a really heartfelt meditation on aging
that would make a perfect double bill with Bubba Ho-Tep
Richard Whittaker AUSTIN CHRONICLE
Late Phases is truly one of the best werewolf films ever made. Period. End of discussion.
