A bright, trashy light in a darkened world
Cinema acts as a reflection of society.
They challenge the audience to dig deeper into their themes and consider the sociopolitical issues covered.
Every day, theres a brand-new worry rising: Wars.
At some point, the constant barrage suffocates.
Thats why when presented with the option of watching Jim IsaacsJason Xor Lasse HallstromsChocolat, the former usually triumphs.
This doesnt mean everyone should turn a blind eye to global travesties.
However, for ones mental health, a short-lived relief is necessary to survive.
Take Brendan SteeresThe VelociPastoras a prime example.
And thats what the 2017 horror comedy film delivers, never straying from the path of Jurassic-themed redemption.
No one walks into a Troma- or Asylum-produced film expecting to witness Oscar Award-winning material quite the contrary.
They underpromise and overdeliver, going against the grain of mainstream movie marketing.
Of course, ironic viewing likely skews the results too.
Regardless, no one can deny that trashy films unite viewers.
