O. M. F. G!!! Just saw SISSY at the Darwin Film Fest and jesus! Hannah Barlow is an amazing filmmaker and really captures each character perfectly. The angles and shots are just perfect. A true masterclass of how filmmakers should shoot horror films. Aisha Dee as Cecillia is absolutely outstanding - all the actors just grip you with their performances and it was truly breathtaking. Warning! It gets gruesome and gory. A true-blue slasher film that needs to be on screens globally, not to mention the commentary on the power of influencers on youth culture, what an powerhouse of a film. Its really quite special.
/SPOILER WARNING IN EFFECT NOW/ In Act I we see Cecilia and she is filming a wellness tutorial and she bumps into her childhood friend Emma at the pharmacy, she is then invited to the latter's bachelorette party, as we lead into Act II the audience is frequently shown an old video of Alex and Cecilia (being called Sissy) as she is teased the audience is positioned to feel sympathetic towards her. The action then starts with Alex and Cecilia fight in a waterhole for Cecilia's phone after she was deemed 'cancelled' by the group, and Alex subsequently wanted to expose Cecilia to her fans, however, before the video is posted she hits her with a rock. That is by far one of the TAMEST deaths in this chilling film. Next on the hitlist is Jamie, a gay male with a disability, and his death is also pretty tame in comparison to Death 3-5. While I won't spoil the death order I must warn viewers that the Death 4 is gruesome and very graphic so be prepared.
