Yo, y'all gotta check out "Lowlifes" (2024). This flick is a wild ride that totally caught me off guard. Directed by Tesh Guttikonda and Mitch Oliver, it's like they took the classic horror road trip vibe and cranked it up to eleven.
The story kicks off with a family road-tripping through some sketchy backroads. They end up crashing at this super remote homestead, and let's just say, things get hella intense real quick. The way the plot unfolds is mad unpredictable, keeping you on your toes the whole time.
Amanda Fix, who plays Amy, absolutely nails it. You might've seen her in "North of Normal," but here, she brings a whole new energy that's both raw and real. Matthew MacCaull, taking on the role of Keith, delivers a performance that's both chilling and captivating. Dude's been in "Tomorrowland" and "iZombie," but this role? Next level. And Brenna Llewellyn as Savannah? She was solid in "The Sinners," but she seriously steps up her game in this one.
What sets "Lowlifes" apart is its blend of horror and dark humor. It's like they took the suspense of "The Hills Have Eyes" and mixed it with the twisted family dynamics of "We're the Millers." The result? A bloody good time that's as funny as it is freaky.
The cinematography is on point, capturing the eerie isolation of the homestead and the creeping dread that builds throughout. And the gore? Let's just say, horror fans won't be disappointed. It's graphic, it's gnarly, and it's executed with a finesse that shows the filmmakers know their stuff.
Now, I gotta shout out the screenplay by Al Kaplan. The dialogue feels real, the characters are fleshed out, and the twists? Man, I didn't see 'em coming. It's refreshing to watch a horror movie that doesn't rely on the same old clichés.
All in all, "Lowlifes" is a standout in the 2024 horror scene. It's got suspense, it's got laughs, and it's got moments that'll make you squirm. If you're into horror that's both smart and brutal, this one's for you. Don't sleep on it.

I have four brothers. I am in my sixties. My younger brothers are all still alive. Non of us are world champions, at wrestling or sadly anything else but, this is a great film about family and familial love. I cannot recommend this film highly enough. I cried, but that is OK, men are allowed to cry.
The Iron Claw. I have four brothers. I am in my sixties, we have lived charmed lives, really I do not understand how we have been so very blessed and so very lucky to have survived alive till now. My younger brothers are all still alive and prospering. But non of us are world champions, at wrestling or then sadly anything else but, life is war, and this film beautifully portrays in a great film about family and familial love, and committing one hundred per cent to your passion to becoming a world champion, the worlds number one, the world champion but each child is like an egg, luck strength and training protects the human egg but bad luck exposés the fragility of life. I cannot recommend this film highly enough. I cried, but that is OK, men are allowed to cry. Kudos to all the cast and crew. An inspiring yet daunting realisation of the mindset and a window into the world of competitive sport and the possiblity of a sad reality of the toll on life and family. Cursed no, life at this level has consequences.
