Indie horror film with Atlanta roots finds its scare power in South American folklore
On a weekend camping trip, two struggling couples encounter a vampiric monster from Amazonian folklore, testing their relationships, their courage, and their will to survive.
Release date: January 14, 2022 (USA)
Director: AJ Jones
Costume design: Alison Fields
Editor: Walker Whited
Production design: Rachel Lee Payne Darrow
Set decoration: Eliza Chance


AJ: Two struggling couples go on a weekend camping trip to try and reconnect with each other. Around the campfire on the first night, Naomi tells the group of her family’s legend of a creature called La Patasola, a one-legged woman who haunts the forest, looking for men who have been unfaithful to their wives. The group soon finds themselves fighting for their lives against the ancient, Amazonian beast.

ArtsATL: Please tell us about the Latin, folkloric origins of La Patasola.

AJ: La Patasola, which means one-legged woman, is a South American legend. There are many variations of the legend of La Patasola. Some believe she is a beautiful woman who cheated on her husband, so he murdered their children and chopped off her leg, causing her tortured soul to roam the jungle hunting for prey. Some believe she is a beautiful seductress in a white dress who sucks your blood like a vampire. Others believe she is more of a goblin-type creature, with bulging eyes, a big nose, and one breast, while others believe she is a monstrous, one-hoofed creature that you may expect from an H.P. Lovecraft story.

The Curse of La Patasola was trash.

No one on this thread is watching this except for me??
What Is The Kaelego Demon in ‘Archive 81’?

As the first season of Archive 81 rolls into its eighth and final episode on Netflix, tape archivist Dan Turner (Mamoudou Athie) has uncovered a host of secrets about just what went down in the Visser Apartments back in the 1990’s, before the building burned to a crisp in a mysterious fire. The investigations of graduate student Melody Pendras (Dina Shihabi) into the Visser have become Dan’s obsession, and have led him to a confrontation with the demon Kaelego.

I started watching it the other day but I'm only on episode 3. Will probably run through it this weekend.

I started watching it the other day but I'm only on episode 3. Will probably run through it this weekend.

It’s suppper slooooow, and the lead actor is wild monotone and dry, but the story and subplots are keeping it interesting- I want to see how they conclude with the little girl, if she’s possessed or does she actually have a medical condition and what the deal is with the priest - is he really concerned trying to help or does he have sinister intentions.

The visuals are also hypnotic with the flashbacks, ghosts/spirits, the colors - I’m on episode 4. I know a few times I fell asleep not bc it was boring but bc they keep whispering with the low voices and doing that slow cam zoom in thing combined with the setting (upstate New York) - it’s ironically serene. I think also bc this is based on a podcast, so they filmed it like they’re telling a story and that’s what I listen to at night sometimes before I go to bed- scary story audio books or a court transcript crime audio - so my brain is programmed to a more calm state bc I became used to that by being inside so much. Weird but it is what it is.

Never could get into Argento as much as most people in this genre - his movies are so arthousey

Apple TV+ Lands Godzilla & Titans Series Based On Legendary’s Monsterverse

 

[Nicole0416_718_929_646212]

Though Legendary’s Godzilla vs. Kong made waves last summer by debuting on HBO Max and quickly becoming one of the platform’s top performing features, the next time we see the titanic monster and his fellow kaiju, they’ll be calling new streamer home: Apple Plus.

Set after the events of Godzilla vs. Kong, the new untitled series is said to feature Godzilla, a number of the Titans, and yet another human family whose interpersonal dramas audiences are meant to care about even though the literal monsters are what everyone’s really interested in. According to Apple, the new human family at the center of this show will have deep, mysterious connections to Monarch, the villainous organization responsible for driving Godzilla and Kong to brawl with one another when last we saw them.

Considering how humans have pretty consistently dragged the Monsterverse’s features down in the past, the series is going to have to find a way to legitimately make their plots here feel like more than distractions from the good stuff (read: monster fights). But depending on which monsters show up and how they fight, it might be worth slogging through a little bit of ground level human humdrum when the show debuts.
Godzilla and the Titans will reunite in new Apple TV Plus Monsterverse series

Hope this actually happens. The first two Happy Death Day movies were cool and this franchise deserves to have a complete trilogy.
