For six days, the São Jorge Cinema and the Cinematheque Junior turn into murky houses: it’s 9th edition of MOTELx. The room service, the main section of the Festival, opens with visit , M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense, Signs), returned to the origins, after a few years diverted from terror. So we have two brothers, alone, on a visit to grandparents – who do not know – in an inland area of Pennsylvania (US state where Shyamalan grew), each with their camera, to document this stay. But something strange is revealed in the behavior of grandparents … An auspicious start to the festival.
Following the corridor proposals, impossible not hit as early as Burying the Ex , the “Terror Master” Joe Dante, five years after Fears, or Green Room, Canadian Jeremy Saulnier, which premiered in the Directors’ Fortnight in Cannes, and brings the meeting to a punk rock band with a gang of skinheads, a crime scene, and Patrick Stewart as the protagonist.
Another highlight was the Japanese Trinity expert of the genre, Takashi Miike, Hideo Nakata and Sion Sono, determined not to disappoint, respectively, with Yakuza Apocalypse, Ghost Theater and tag, the latter an adaptation of the novel Real Onigokko, Yusuke Yamada, which installs a nightmare in a simple “return to school”. Even in the eastern headquarters, it is worth not losing sight of the debut work of two South Korean Han Jun-hee, with Coin Locker Girl, a bloody thriller starring surprisingly, by two women (the tendency is always male) and Hong Won-chan, with Office on an investigation that takes place inside a building where supposedly lurks an employee of serial killer office.
