AFM ’09: Review and Details for the Must-See ‘Slice’!
Hiding from the IMDB is Kongkiat Komesiri’s Slice, a new horror thriller from the Philippines that has picked up some major, major buzz at the AFM. Bloody Disgusting was one of the lucky few to catch a screening and was more than ecstatic with the results. “Just trust in Komesiri’s vision because those who stick with him will be rewarded by the time the credits hit….The film carries a finale that literally will have any viewer exclaiming “holy f*cking sh*t.” Click the title for the review or check below for the trailer and sales art.
“After the police are baffled for clues as to male victims turning up sliced and dead, they are hard pressed for results as the latest victim happens to be a son of a politician. Their last resort is to confront an ex hitman named Tai, for his expertise in the field of hunting down a killer. The chase is on before a new victim turns up SLICED.”
Chris Columbus (Gremlins – writer, Home Alone – director) is headed back into the director’s chair for Thursday Murder Club, Amblin’s upcoming feature film adaptation of the same-titled novel written by Richard Osman. Variety first reported the news this morning.
It’s not a horror movie, mind you, but rather a star-studded murder-mystery. Think Rian Johnson’s Knives Out… only this particular murder-mystery is set in a retirement community!
Variety details, “The book, released in 2020, tells the story of four septuagenarian friends who live in a retirement community and solve cold cases for fun. When a shady property developer is found dead, the four find themselves in the middle of their first live crime.”
Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan and Ben Kingsley are “being eyed” to lead the cast!
Richard Osman’s 2020 novel was such a hit that it launched a franchise. Follow-up The Man Who Died Twice followed in 2021, with The Bullet That Missed coming along in 2022. And then there was The Last Devil to Die in 2023, with a fifth book in the series expected in 2025.
