Director: David Cholewa.
Writer: Jule Vincent.
Cast: Fabian Wolfrom, Blandine Marmigère, John Fallon and Rurik Sallé.
The internet is abuzz with news about Dead Shadows, a French produced B-styled movie about Chris (Wolfrom Fabian), a lad whose parents were killed the last time Halley’s Comet passed through the solar system. That was 11 years ago. But on the night a new comet appears, this young man may have to relive uncomfortable memories when the people around him start to mutate and the military arrives to try and contain the situation.
Quiet Earth is suggesting that this film may contain some Lovecraftian tones. The idea of cosmic horror and the way the humans are mutating, tentacles and all, is not necessarily a characteristic of this seminal author’s style. It may be Japanese; this culture’s cinematic obsession with tentacles and sex is well known but that is not the direction this movie is going.
