The ‘In Fabric’ Trailer Promises A Spooky Descent Into Retail Horror

A24 ‘s newest addition to its distinguished repertoire is  In Fabric , a stylish horror-comedy directed by Peter Strickland , helmer of 2014’s  The Duke of Burgundy . The trendy production house released the film’s first trailer on May 29th, and it appears as though we’re in for a spooky delight, with some critics pinning it in Lynch/Argento territory. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the trailer and give it the breakdown treatment. Right off the bat, we can see that In Fabric  will make heavy use of motifs. The opening shot of the trailer is a hypnotic red spiral, revealed to be part of the display for an unassuming-looking dress shop. This kind of imagery recurs throughout the rest of the trailer, attracting the viewer’s eye and hinting at mesmerizing descent into the unknown. The film promises the sort of gauzy-looking visuals that other recent pastiches like  The Love Witch have appropriated from mid-century horror. Sheila ( Marianne Jean-Baptiste ) finds herself in the

Shot by Shot with ‘The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance’ Trailer

The Gelflings are back!  Jim Henson and  Frank Oz ‘s beloved 1982 film, The Dark Crystal , is getting the Netflix treatment with a prequel series slated to hit on August 30. The newly released trailer for  The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance features some upgrades to the original landscapes while still remaining passionately faithful to its predecessor. The cast is also filled with celebrities; Taron Egerton ,  Natalie Dormer , Mark Hamil , and Keegan Michael-Key are just some of the famous voices we can look forward to hearing. The trailer, clocking in at just longer than two minutes, is mostly a quick montage. Jam-packed in the trailer are sprawling landscapes and plenty of familiar faces, too. The trailer opens with a few quick shots of the now-digitally created Thra, the home planet of the Skeksis, Mystics, and Gelflings. Stunning visuals reintroduce us to a fantastic world. We see a bright sun peaking around a foggy mountain peak, lush greenery and flowers, and a group of

‘The Dark Tower’ Movie Was Also Disappointing for Producer Ron Howard

Plenty of Stephen King fans are still waiting to see an epic big screen adaptation of the book series The Dark Tower . That’s because the meager attempt to bring the books to life back in 2017 was a total disaster. Clocking in at only 95 minutes, the adaptation didn’t deliver the kind of epic fantasy they’d been hoping to see, and the movie was totally forgettable. If you’re one of the many disappointed fans out there who wished The Dark Tower turned out to be even better, you’re not alone. Producer Ron Howard also ended up being unhappy with the final product. Speaking with the Happy Sad Confused podcast (via Collider ) while making the publicity rounds for the new documentary Pavarotti , filmmaker Ron Howard admitted that there were several shortcomings when it came to the final cut of The Dark Tower . Howard said: “I think it should’ve been horror. I think that it landed in a place—both in our minds and the studio’s—that it could be PG-13 and sort of a boy’s adventure… I rea

Before ‘Godzilla’ There Was ‘The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms’

Do you remember your first dinosaur? The Jurassic Park T-rex? The titular Brontosaurus from Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend ? The Valley of Gwangi ‘s eponymous Allosaurus? I can’t name mine. They’ve always been with me. I was born, and they were there, haunting every childish thought that wasn’t devoted to Star Wars . The knowledge that there was a lost race of gargantuan reptiles that rampaged across our planet 243 million years ago (give or take a Wikipedia edit) was as stupendous as much as it was traumatizing. You’re telling me that there was this gargantuan Argentinosaurus that stumbled about Earth, snacking on trees, and now it’s absolutely, totally, utterly gone? Does that mean humanity could one day be gone? No way! Their extinction hinted at my extinction and my compulsion to memorize every genus was a hope that one day some unknown entity would return the favor to my family and me. Devoting myself to dinosaur literature, comics, and cinema was a pledge to a forgotten societ

Ferris aims to revolutionize our EDC with a unique magnetic system

Problem solving is a skill set that can, for the most part, be taught. Problem spotting, however, isn’t something you teach. It’s an innate ability to be able to detect an area of intervention upon which you can exercise your design-thinking skills to make life easier. The Ferris system, designed by Distil Union, takes on a persistent problem of constantly misplacing your personal belongings and EDC, and comes up with a streamlined, elegant solution that, simply put, just works to perfection. The thing with forgetting your keys or glasses or smartphone is that it isn’t a product design problem, it’s a psychology/personal-trait problem. However, Distil Union has a product-design-centric solution. Magnets! The Ferris system builds on a product that Distil Union designed in 2017… a magnet-embedded pair of sunglasses that could be secured around your shirt collar firmly, preventing them from falling off by accident. The magnets now find themselves in a wide variety of specially designed
