INTERLOPERS (2024)

★½ — INTERLOPERS (2024)

Interlopers is a micro-budget British zombie film shot for a reported $7,000 by director Dan Gould under his Trashmachine Pictures banner, placing it firmly in the tradition of ultra-low-cost genre filmmaking that has sustained British horror since the days of early Hammer and the no-budget video nasties of the 1980s. Gould structured the film in three parts (before, during, and after a biological apocalypse), a formal choice that recalls the anthology-adjacent approach seen in lower-budget American independent horror of the 2010s. The cast, led by Ward J. Harries alongside Ewan Henderson and Ross Thompson, are largely unfamiliar faces, which is typical for productions at this budget level, where the financial constraints leave little room for established names.

Super low budget. And it shows... Don't get me wrong. What they achieved on such a low budget is "fine" considering that but when I'm comparing this fairly to all other zombie movies I just don't think it stack up. The story and the graphic design are by far the best bits. There are barely any zombies in this and the guy who plays the Wesker style baddie is laughably bad. Overall, from the great trailer and the great intro, it loses steam fast.

René Laloux’s Fantastic Planet (1973) is one of those films that doesn’t really fit anywhere: too cerebral for kids, too odd for animation festivals, too steeped in European political theory for the Saturday-morning slot, and too visually fearless to ignore.

Alice in Wonderland (1951)

Disney’s Alice in Wonderland (1951) is the studio’s middle-period work par excellence: technically polished, commercially tested, narratively cautious, and just slightly off.
