Freddy reviews BLACK MASS by Scott Lyus

Ken with a review of Scott Lyus’ latest, a short horror film about depression titled BLACK MASS.
If you’re looking for Johnny Depp here, look no further.
BLACK MASS is a simple idea with many intricacies held within. On the surface we get a father losing his way after the sudden loss of his wife Carrie (Voiced by Helen Stirling). The father Charlie (Johnny Vivash) says it best.
“Darkness, it’s all I see and I’m drowning in it.”
His two adult daughters Meagan (Sophia Eleni) and Jessica (Charlie Bond) not only recently lost their mom, they’re now watching the disappearance of their father before their very eyes. He’s withdrawn and unable to connect.
That’s what makes this short so impressive. It takes a concept we have all felt internally. A gaping chasm in your heart, bet it losing a loved one, a professional setback, or simply living in a mind clouded by depression. One loss, begets another and so on and so on. Until you’re sliding down your own slide of shame. Depression is no joke. It tears a person apart from within, while making them feel shameful for the way they are behaving. It’s a greasy well, where you just can’t find a grip or even fingerhold to catch your breath. Every time you try you merely fall deeper into your self-made abyss.
BLACK MASS runs a crisp 11 min and 45 seconds. Not a second is wasted in this one. What starts as a simple tale of loss, ends up becoming something much deeper.

‘Fear Street’ Spoiler Review: Netflix’s Horror Trilogy Mines Nostalgia While Looking to the Future

Netflix’s Fear Street trilogy, a three-week spree of crimes against innocent Shadysiders, ended on Friday. It’s possibly the biggest slasher-movie event since the 2018 Halloween broke box-office records for its franchise and production company. There have been other slasher flicks since then; the bloody body-swap Freaky comes to mind as one genre torch-bearer, seen mostly on VOD late last year. However, with its staggered release pattern — instant summer sequels, now available to stream! — Fear Street has built up a sustained momentum this month that goes unmatched by other recent entries in the genre. We took a non-spoiler look at all three Fear Street films as they launched: Part One: 1994 on July 2, Part Two: 1978 on July 9, and Part Three: 1666 on July 16. Now, as the dust settles in the town of Shadyside, we’re ready to dive into the deep end with a spoiler-filled look at the plot twists, character dea...

Yes, ‘Eternals’ Will Explain Why These Superheroes Didn’t Help Out During ‘Avengers: Endgame’

Eternals may become the latest example of the many balancing acts that any shared universe will inevitably be asked to navigate. After all, constructing a timeline with a lived-in sense of history must stand up to scrutiny. While fans should generally approach movies with the benefit of the doubt (these are, after all, fictional works made up by human beings rather than an actual historical retelling), creators tend to obsess over these sorts of details. That’s why Marvel producers Nate Moore and Kevin Feige offer reassurances that there’s a very good canonical reason the Eternals didn’t bother showing up to help Captain America fight Thanos. Entertainment Weekly has the lowdown on all aspects of Eternals , from director Chloe Zhao’s influences to introductions for each of the main heroes. There’s also an interesting nugget included in the cover story about the movie’s place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Described as “…largely a standalone story, focusing...
