Danny and Michael Filippou’s handiwork continues to garner acclaim from all quarters as one of independent production company A24’s greatest achievements. The director brothers are now being hailed by another director who has named the low-budget horror film a must-see, reminding him of the early days of his own career.
As ComingSoon reminds us, Peter Jackson is best known these days for the Lord of the Rings trilogy, King Kong or The Lovely Bones, but before that the director started his career in the horror genre, such as Bad Taste on the movies or. Les Feebles, was shot in his native New Zealand. Even when he got to Hollywood, he didn’t completely abandon the genre, as evidenced by the horror comedy Ghosts Against Ghosts.
In a recent statement (via ComingSoon ), the horror enthusiast talked about the genre’s newest film that’s causing a stir.
The hand isn’t just good – it’s very, very good. The best, most intense horror movie I’ve enjoyed in years.
He also added that the feature film is “Relentlessly scary and disturbing – in the best way“.
High praise indeed for an Australian film whose short prequel has already been made. With the film’s critical and commercial success, it’s entirely possible that A24 has greenlit a long-running prequel, as well as a sequel already discussed.
God A story follows about teenagers using an embalmed hand to summon the spirits that possess them. However, possession, like a drug, ends up invoking terrible powers.
The main one should be discovered, if you dare, at your nearest cinema.
