REVIEW: Parallel (2024 Film) - Starring Danielle Deadwyler, Aldis Hodge and Edwin Hodge

Review by Jon Donnis

"Parallel" is a mind-bending sci-fi thriller that takes audiences on a journey through alternate realities. Directed by Kourosh Ahari and written by the talented team of Aldis and Edwin Hodge along with Jonathan Keasey, the film explores the complexities of grief, identity, and the mysteries of the multiverse.

The story follows Vanessa (Danielle Deadwyler), who seeks solace at her family's lake house following the tragic loss of her child. Accompanied by her husband, Alex (Aldis Hodge), and his brother, Martel (Edwin Hodge), Vanessa's attempt to find peace is shattered when she encounters a parallel version of herself. As she grapples with the existence of multiple universes, Vanessa must confront the possibility that these parallel gates hold the key to either releasing her from her grief or trapping her forever.

One of the film's greatest strengths lies in the stellar performances delivered by Danielle Deadwyler and Aldis and Edwin Hodge. Their portrayal of a family torn apart by tragedy is both compelling and emotionally resonant. Ahari's minimalist direction allows the audience to focus on Vanessa's journey, adding to the film's tense atmosphere.

"Parallel" is a sci-fi thriller that prioritizes storytelling over spectacle, making it a refreshing change for fans of the genre. Despite its relatively small cast, the film delivers a powerful punch, keeping viewers engaged from start to finish. The directing and cinematography are particularly strong, enhancing the film's eerie atmosphere.

While the plot of "Parallel" can be complex at times, its twists and turns keep viewers on the edge of their seats, prompting them to question the nature of reality, life, and death. However, the film's dialogue and writing are its weak points, occasionally detracting from the overall experience.

In summary, "Parallel" is a tense and thought-provoking sci-fi thriller that delves into the intricacies of alternate realities. What begins as a family's struggle with grief quickly escalates into a terrifying journey through the unknown. Despite its flaws, "Parallel" is sure to leave audiences questioning the mysteries of the universe long after the credits roll.

I score Parallel a decent 7.5 out of 10.

REVIEW: Boy Kills World (2024 Film) - Starring Bill Skarsgård and Famke Janssen

Review by Jon Donnis

"Boy Kills World" is a wild rollercoaster ride of action, comedy, and revenge, directed by Moritz Mohr in his feature directorial debut. With a star-studded cast led by Bill Skarsgård, the film delivers a joyfully creative and gleefully violent experience that is sure to entertain fans of hardcore action and dark comedy alike.

The plot follows Boy, portrayed by Skarsgård, a deaf-mute man seeking vengeance against the deranged matriarch, Hilda Van Der Koy, played menacingly by Famke Janssen, who murdered his family, leaving him orphaned and voiceless. Trained in martial arts by a mysterious shaman, Boy teams up with a ragtag resistance group to enact his bloody campaign of revenge. Along the way, he is accompanied by his inner voice, provided by H. Jon Benjamin, which adds a quirky and humorous layer to the narrative as he bickers with the ghost of his deceased sister.

One of the film's strongest points is its unabashed creativity. Director Mohr infuses the action with a darkly comedic energy and a video game-inspired style that sets it apart from typical studio fare. The result is a frenzied chaos of brutal violence, wacky inner thoughts, and bloody revenge that works well within its specific niche. The combination of great comedy, gore, and action makes for an original and entertaining viewing experience.

However, "Boy Kills World" is not without its flaws. Some of the fight sequences drag on longer than necessary, overstaying their welcome and dampening the pacing of the film. Additionally, while the film excels in delivering visceral thrills, the villains and world-building feel somewhat underdeveloped, lacking the depth and complexity needed to fully engage the audience beyond the surface level.

Overall, "Boy Kills World" earns a solid 7 out of 10. It may not be perfect, but its infectious energy, inventive style, and gleeful mayhem make it a worthwhile watch for fans of action-packed thrillers with a dark comedic twist.
