Faceless After Dark opens with a warning about the film’s use of strobing lights, and immediately we see Bowie sitting staring at the camera as neon purple lights flash on her face as the image grows progressively smaller and unintelligible voices babble louder and louder. That and several long, eye-straining montages scattered through the film make the warning more than justified

Next we see her armed with a machete making her way through a human butcher shop, only to be confronted by the killer clown responsible for the carnage. And then mid-fight, she stops and complains about having to deliver the line, “Haven’t you heard, the circus left town bitch!”

Bowie is an actress, and that role has...

Human trafficking has been an ailment of society since forever it seems some times, with the stories we occasionally hear on the news reminding us that the incidents can easily happen as close to us as possible. Angelo Reyes presents a movie based on the real life story of Tanya, a girl how felt victim to trafficking, that highlights the aforementioned concept, through a Filipino prism that adds another level to the short.

The film begins with a concerned mother fighting with her daughter, teenager Maria, over the messages she has been sending through her phone to Ricardo, a man in his 30s. The distance between the two is evident as the mother is speaking mostly in Filipino, while the daughter is replying in English, but is when cursing and a slap become a factor, than the gap becomes unbridgeable,...

Celebrity-fan encounters have become the internet’s bread-and-butter in 2023; every user-driven rabbit hole from Reddit to the gossip pages of Instagram (shoutout to deuxmoi) is full of supposed insider info on who’s a sweetheart, and who’s an Irl monster. There’s almost a currency to having met a famous person, and everyone online, anonymous or not, is keen to sell their story – mostly just for clout over any actual cash. So whether you’re an actor or a musician, or even just a familiar-face from a meme, the message is the same: play nice, or be prepared to face the social media backlash.

It’s a dangerous world to navigate, especially for working actors like Faceless After Dark star Jenna Kanell, who co-writes this sharp, scathing home invasion thriller about just that, an often deadly relationship with the spotlight.
