The Banality
BandSAboutMovies22 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Directed by Michael Stevantoni and Strack Azar, The Banality is about a feral child who is adopted by a young couple. Known as "Feral Boy," Father Moss (Sherman Augustus) introduces the child to the couple and for eleven years, all is well, before the once feral child is killed in a hit and run accident.

Can the religious man with faith issues find his way back to God after the senseless death? Why would God even bring "Feral Boy" into their lives if He was going to cruelly take him away? Are the dreams both asleep and waking that the priest is having direct him to the mystery of how the child was in the woods alone all these years and who killed him?

A full-length version of the 2019 short film, The Banality is also known as Death Letter Blues. This isn't a horror film in the traditional sense but instead a more slice of Southern life told well. I'm looking forward to this getting a wider release because I think it's going to knock people out.
