This week’s poster is a real life image based on a movie about a haunted apartment building and the roommates that live there. Two plucky 20-somethings move into an apartment with some pretty noisy neighbors, only to discover that their neighbors have been dead for hundreds of years! It’s a real nail-biter as our lead tries to dispose of the misburied remains before his possessed roommate gets the best of him.
This film stars the Faceswap (fahck-ee-swahp) demon that switches people’s faces using time magic. Beautiful people get their faces swapped with birds, outlets, dog noses, old crones, and even corpses before they are killed by the nasty time demon Faceswap in unnecessarily gruesome ways. This has all the classic clichés of the modern horror genre: shattered mirrors; old people yelling nonsense omens; an abandoned theme park; lots of dumb, pretty teens; and broken cell phones. It also has time travel via selfies, a FaceSwap Dorian Grey, and a triple fake-out ending. We tried to make this a nonsense pile of a movie. Unfortunately, we’re just too good at this whole pitching thing for that happen.
Only chiller font could sell just how chilling this poster is. The spectre of eldritch junk food looms large as our health-minded protagonist tries to keep a cool head. Thomas Middleditch stars in this one because, hell I don’t know, he seems like a cool dude who could party down with a bag of existentially dreadful salty snacks.
GHOST PARTY!
