Kind of reminiscent of "River's Edge", except that was a really good movie.
But this is a breakout film for one of Britain’s most gifted and under-utilized actors, and if it’s to be remembered for anything, it will be as the Romper Stomper to a next generation’s Russell Crowe.
With its woozy widescreen Steadicam aesthetic and prowlingly squishy score (composer Rich Vreeland giving Cold in July’s Jeff Grace a retro run for his money), It Follows seems at times to be stalking the ghost of Halloween’s killer, Michael Myers, albeit with the post- Scream knowingness of Geoffrey Wright’s sardonic Cherry Falls .
Yet while audiences may expect something like the horror stylings of fellow Australian filmmaker the Philippou brothers (Talk to Me, Bring Her Back), Leviticus delivers something closer to the social realism of Romper Stomper or Snowtown.
Like its controversial predecessors, the Australian "Romper Stomper," a film that thrust Russell Crowe into the limelight, and "American History X," which solidified Edward Norton's career, "The Believer" deals with neo-Nazism and anti-Semitic issues.
Lo dicho, una propuesta absolutamente bizarra (dos highlights: una pizza sin piernas, y un chicle en silla de ruedas con una pila que resulta ser un trasunto de Stephen Hawking), que presenta un crescendo de humor gamberro y un desvarío que concluyen en uno de los clímax finales más pasados de vueltas de cine reciente (les doy una pista, piensen en Cherry Falls).
When it comes to racial dramas there are usually two types: mainstream ("Higher Learning") or hard core ("Romper Stomper").
