Films in 100: Black Rock (2012)

Black Rock (Katie Aselton, 2012)

Starring: Katie Aselton, Lake Bell, Kate Bosworth, Will Bouvier, Jay Paulson and Anslem Richardson.



A horror, which sees three friends hunted by some bat shit crazy soldiers on a remote island. Some of the film seemed quite amusing, but only in the sense of how contrived the convention following was. The film reaches its peak when the two lead female character's clothes become drenched, which leads to them taking them all off if they have any hope ofsurvival. They then spend about fifteen minutes (a night in the narrative) wondering around naked and cold, only to put on their clothes in the morning which seem to have magically dried. Really? I am not even going to begin to make a feminist reading of this film. Terrible.

1/5
