The Overlook Theatre Reviews: Child Eater

of 5 viewers "Liked" "Child Eater" (2017, USA)
Here's what the creatures had to say:

The Berkeley Blazer - "While I missed some parts of the very beginning of Child Eater I liked what I saw of the rest of it enough to confidently give it a score of four stars. Starting out with low expectations upon entry, the trajectory of Child Eater really surprised and won me over. Our protagonist was quite likable for the most part; she had a realness, and down to earth quality that made her journey into the nightmare world of Child Eater that much more resonant. Child Eater himself was truly creepy and​ terrifying in a way that was fresh, but also kind of nostalgic like he could have been one of the hall of fame monsters from the nineties. Besides the stellar protagonist and antagonist, this movie does surprising things​ with the way it reveals it's surprising both on a moment to moment level as well as on a narrative level. To put it bluntly, this movie kept surprising me with jump scares that are brilliant story decisions. The filmmaker put some real craftsmanship and love into this movie, but occasionally its micro budget funding showed which normally wouldn't be a issue for me, but the acting of certain characters and the police uniforms that didn't fit were a distraction because so much of the film was really exciting and left me with quite memorable imagery.  If you're looking for a dark little surprise of a film to keep your dreams haunted, Child Eater might be the treat you've been hunting for." - 4 Stars

Lord Battle - "I don't want to say too​ much about this film because Math Mage's review is already spoiler ridden, so I'll give my Berkeley Blazer "basic bitch review". Child Eater is a micro budget Jeepers Creepers removed from the highways of America and planted in the ruins of the East Coast. Combine that with an interesting mythology, rad special effects, and locations that are permeated in history and you end up with the type of film that would be a perfect random watch on a streaming library. Erlingur Thoroddsen's Child Eater is an unmasked slasher film that will both make you laugh and say "oh shit". A must for indie horror fans." - 4 Stars

Trash - "Child Eater has a great opening, great music, is well shot and produced, and has a pretty good looking monster. In fact, the quality of this film belies what it actually is: a no-budget, very straight-forward monster flick. Certain moments stand out as excellent, and the kid gets some fantastically weird dialogue which is delivered so straight that I found myself laughing more to relieve the shock than because it was funny. A solid horror flick." - 3 Stars

Math Mage - "Not a good name, no children were eaten. Only adults eyes are eaten by Nosferatu (who is an anti-stork that takes children instead of bringing them?), according to the ahab who escapes as a child with one eye." - 3.5 Stars

Huntress - "All it took was a name like Child Eater and an awesome looking poster to grab my attention and I'm happy to say that even with high hopes, stemming from all the movie stills I've been seeing, I walked away from Child Eater feeling fulfilled on multiple levels. I loved the urban legend aspect, all the sets both indoor looked great, and the film makers didn't seem too concerned with censoring themselves to be more mainstream. I wanted to preorder my copy as soon as the movie was over." - 4.5 Stars



The Overlook Theatre Final Rating*
(Below is for after you've seen the film)

After rereading the reviews I realized that I referred to Child Eater as an "Unmasked Slasher". This is of course some terminology that helps me categorize the many films I see and own into their own respective little sub-genres. The idea behind differentiating unmasked verse mask slashers (besides the obvious) comes from the way their stories are told and the type of fear they are trying to inspire in the audience. Masked slashers​ like Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees are essentially strangers. Their mythology is mainly built from a number of sequels and a simple idea. A criminally insane man escapes a mental institution on Halloween and a boy left for dead has grown up in and now haunts the woods, killing those who trespass. Even a modern masked slasher like Fender Bender features a type of urban legend who although has more personality still lacks even a name, as Bill Sage is credited as "The Driver".
Unmasked slasher need a mythology unique to the character. Freddy has a deep backstory involving his birth, life, and death all in the first film! And it's no different for even the campiest of unmasked slashers. Take the Leprechaun for example. Before Warwick Davis helmed what may be the best horror-comedy franchise to date, Trimark released an 8-page prequel comic that had some continuity issues but contained things like the Leprechaun's true name. Talk about a horror trivia question.


At the end of Child Eater we learn that our slasher has been referred to previously as "The Black Stork" which seemed a little out of place and over the top to a couple of the creatures present at our screening. Naturally I had to see if this was referenced to an urban legend or something and found something a little more interesting.


A film was released in 1917 under the title The Black Stork. The film is about Dr. Dickey who is called into work to save a "defective" child's life. Dr. Dickey refuses to do anything as is illustrated by his refusal to take his apron from his nurse. Other doctors step in and save the child who grows up to be a shunned monster. The child later returns to kill Dr. Dicky who "condemned him to life". The interesting thing about this film is that Dr. Dickey is both played by and based on Harry J. Haiselden who is best known for his part in the Bollinger Case.

----------------------------------------
--------------------------
------------

Bollinger case

On November 17, 1915 Harry J. Haiselden, despite public protest, allowed the syphilitic child John Bollinger to die. Haiselden convinced the child's parents that John would have grown up to be a miserable outcast and that death was this child's best option as well as in the best interests of society.

As the child was dying, an unknown kidnapper attempted to save John and the Catholic community protested the action; however activist Helen Keller and attorney Clarence Darrow each wrote separate articles in support of Dr. Haiselden's choice. Dr. Haiselden was an outspoken supporter of the eugenics movement prior to the case and, after the publicity made him famous, he took eugenics onto the national stage.

Haiselden was ultimately acquitted by a jury for allowing John Bollinger to die. The Illinois Board of Health attempted to revoke Haiselden's medical license but that action was dropped. A coroner's jury determined that the child was not syphilitic, but brain damaged and therefore defective. The Chicago Medical Society expelled Haiselden from their membership for The Black Stork and the publicity that he sought out after the infanticide.
- Wikipedia

What does all this mean? Nothing really but all this Black Stork lore would make for an awesome backstory. If you are more interested in Harry J. Haiselden's film you'll be sad to know that the originals of the film are all but gone as less than four partials are known to exist today. But The Black Stork is up in it's entirety on YouTube!

*Based on the star ratings turned in by character reviewers, others viewed and got to "Dislike" or "Like" but that does not affect the rating.

The Overlook Hour Guest Profile: The Hosts


This week the Overlook Hour hosts run a guest free episode, as they regularly try to do, in order to catch up with each other and you, the audience. And with engineer Randy the Reverberator (bottom right) having just returned from a weekend long road trip to Boise, Idaho and back, this felt like an appropriate week for an intimate episode. It also means that there was really no limit to the things they could cover...





Not wanting to spoil anything about this incredibly under watched art house horror from last year, they only briefly talked about The Eyes Of My Mother and spent a lot more time discussing post apocalyptic film worlds with two specific, very different examples.


One because someone was defending it, and the other...


Well, it had Bill Paxton in it. 

And what kind of weekend round up would it be without at least one new movie? 




For this episode, that movie was Life.


And in a strange turn of events, one of your hosts defends Your Highness, and it might surprise you who...

But that's all I'll say! Listen to episode 32 for the rest, and there's plenty more.

Bluray Tuesday: Featuring Wishmaster Collection, A Monster Calls & Fantastic Beasts

March 28th 2017


Our favorite day of the week returns! There are a lot of releases to close out March. My favorite one this week is definitely from Vesteron Video, The Wishmaster 4 film Collection. I liked the first two films and actually never saw parts 3 and 4. I'm excited to marathon these real soon. J.K. Rowling's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them hits shelves today. From the world of Harry Potter, Fantastic Beasts is surprisingly really good. A bit slow in some moments but overall a solid film I'd recommend. A sequel is in the works as well. Best Buy will carry steelbook packaging for this film and Target will have an exclusive suitcase packaging. Fantasy/Drama film A Monster Calls is also out today.
 This film has gotten many good reviews. I don't know much about this one but do want to check it out soon. Arrow Video releases two Italian horror films Death Walks on High Heels and Death Walks at Midnight, both for the first time on bluray. Scream Factorybrings us What's The Matter With Helen? a horror musical that seems pretty interesting. Closing out the week is Patriot's Day, Silence, a comedy titled Why Him? starring Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston and The Handmaiden. So what will you be buying, renting or skipping this week? Let us know in the comments. Until next week!

When Diana, a beautiful coed, discovers an ancient gem inside a mystical Persian case, she unwittingly releases the mercilessly evil "Djinn." The gut-slinging demon uses fiendish trickery to take the form of a professor in order to slice, dice and burn his way through the university staff and its students. If he can overpower Diana, his "waker," and grant her three sick and twisted wishes, the very gates of Hell will open up and engulf the world in eternal damnation. With help from the man she loves she must impale the bloodthirsty demon with a sword from Heaven to save herself and the entire world.

Screenings in the Bay (Monday to Friday): Peelers, Child Eater, Black Sabbath


Happy tail end of our last March Monday! We’re one day in to a very busy cinematic week; there are at least three highly anticipated VOD releases coming out this week, and several of them have actually have limited theatrical screenings too. Check their links to see if there’s one near you. Child Eater, which I’ve personally been really excited for, will be out on DVD and VOD this Tuesday, and I’m ordering it for sure!

Wednesday can be a potential double feature for any other theatre hoppers in the bay area. The Super Shangri-La show will be screening Mario Bava’s Black Sabbath at the Balboa Theatre at 7:30, which will leave you just enough time to get the Alamo Drafthouse for Son of Blob at 10:30. And if you want to spend some quality time in a beautiful theatre this weekend, the Stanford Theatre will be showing a double feature of I Walked with a Zombie and Cat People Friday through Sunday, with multiple showtimes on Saturday and Sunday. And their popcorn is some of the best!

Terror Tuesday

Tuesday 28th @ 10:15pm (1hr 35min)
Horror (Rotten Tomatoes)
After the phenomenal box-office and critical success of David Cronenberg's 1986 remake of The Fly, a series of big-budget remakes of '50s horror favorites rode in on its coattails in the late 1980s -- though none managed to rise above mere camp clones of their elders, albeit garnished with modern makeup effects in an attempt to draw modern teen horror-junkies. One remake that managed to live up to its cheesy inspiration was Chuck Russell's version of The Blob, in which the title goo crashes to earth and promptly begins digesting the residents of a small California town while growing to gargantuan proportions. The clean-cut teen hero originally portrayed by Steve McQueen (his first starring role) is replaced here with a rebellious outsider (Kevin Dillon) whose preppie rival (Donovan Leitch) for the affections of the cute heroine (Shawnee Smith) is quickly eliminated by the all-consuming space-gelatin. No sooner has the plasma menace set up house in the town sewers when a shadowy government Blob Squad shows up under the direction of the grandfatherly Dr. Meddows (Joe Seneca), to clean up the mess... or not.


Weird Wednesday

When a four-man terrorist group known as Team Phantom begins raising havoc in downtown Tokyo, the city is in desperate need of a hero. An unexpected champion appears in the form of Lady Battle Cop, a former female tennis champion who has been transformed into a seemingly unstoppable cyborg. But when Team Phantom obtain a secret weapon from an underground military facility -- Amadeus, a psychotic murderer with the ability to kill using psychic powers -- it's anyone's guess who will emerge triumphant. Produced in Japan in 1991, Lady Battle Cop didn't reach American screens until 2001.



Super Shangri-La Show Presents

Wednesday 29th @ 7:30pm (1hr 33min)
Horror (IMDB)
This anthology features three chilling horror stories. "Il Telefono" is credited to Guy de Maupassant, although he never wrote such a story, and concerns a woman (Michele Mercier) receiving telephone calls from beyond the grave. "Wurdulak", by Alexei Tolstoi, stars Boris Karloff as an aging vampire who can only feed on those he loves. Co-starring Mark Damon and Susy Andersen, it is clearly the best story of the three. The final tale, "La Goccia d'Acqua," is falsely credited to Anton Chekhov. It features Jacqueline Pierreux stealing a ring from a corpse she is preparing for burial, only to be murdered by the old woman's ghost. The American version differs in four major areas: the print is shorter, the stories appear in a different order, there is a linking device with Karloff speaking directly to the audience from a foggy void, and Roberto Nicolosi's musical score is replaced with one by lounge-icon Les Baxter. The American release of the film is also missing a comic coda featuring Karloff riding on horseback (or is he?); this appears in most Eurpoean prints of the film, including Mario Bava's original cut. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi
