Bogieville review – trailer-park vampire thriller is filled with prosthetic fangs

Something has definitely gone awry when the best acting in a film comes from a little kid playing a supporting vampire. In this case, it's Poppie Jae Hughes, having the time of her life hissing and snarling, caked in makeup and rocking some evil looking prosthetic fangs. Perhaps Hughes outclasses the adults so easily because her role doesn't require much in the way of dialogue. The rest of the cast are mostly British actors hamming it up with absurd sounding 'southern' American accents that range widely across the territory below the Mason-Dixon line. Compelled to deliver way more dialogue than they can feasibly handle given their meagre performing skills, it's not pretty. Otherwise this is a cheap as chips but not unamusing farrago that unfolds in a wee vampire community known as Bogieville, a trailer park where visitors either become lunch or never leave. The latter seems to be the fate of unlucky couple Ham (Arifin Putra) and Jody (Eloise Lovell Anderson) who stumble on Bogieville accidentally, and are chosen by the sole non-vampiric resident, caretaker Crawford (Hanathan Hansler), to look after the community after he dies someday. While the young lovers are subjected to vast wodges of verbal exposition and clunky flashbacks from Crawford, the film occasionally cuts away to the police and a doctor (Angela Dixon) who have cottoned on to the bloodsuckers' presence in the vicinity and are out to hunt them down. Director Sean Cronin also plays Bogieville's undead leader; every line of his dialogue is rendered in a subsonic, incomprehensible growl, which sort of goes for his directing style too. At least the makeup and the gore effects are competently executed, making the ensemble look like blood smeared meat-puppets on a rampage. Bogieville is on digital platforms from 9 June.

Super Mario World An NBCUniversal press release about upcoming movies that will stream on Peacock unintentionally revealed that the sequel to the Super Mario Bros. Movie will be named Super Mario World, in reference to 1990 SNES classic, however mentions of the movie title were scrubbed hours after publication, so make of that what you will. She Kills Them Variety reports Kate Mara will star in She Kills Them, 'a vampire romantic comedy' described as 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Fleabag.' Directed by Dan Clark, the story follows 'Chloe Jacobs, a woman in her late 30s living a dangerous double life. By night, she seduces and slays vampires as part of a secret government operation. By day, she's just another jaded New Yorker trying to figure out her personal life. But when she meets Eric–someone she actually connects with–her two worlds collide.' Flesh of the Gods Speaking of vampires, Deadline reports Elizabeth Olsen will star alongside Kristen Stewart and Oscar Isaac in Flesh of the Gods, an 80s-set vampire drama taking place in a 'glamorous, surrealistic world of hedonism, thrills and violence.' Directed by Panos Cosmatos (Mandy), the story concerns Raoul and Alex, 'a married couple in glittering '80s L.A. who descend each evening from their luxury skyscraper condo and head into an electric nighttime realm. When they cross paths with the mysterious and enigmatic Nameless (Elizabeth Olsen) and her hard-partying cabal, Raoul and Alex are seduced into a glamorous, surrealistic world of hedonism, thrills and violence.'

The story is said to follow 'a rudderless hitchhiker and a driven woman avenging her family's death [who] must stop a motorcycle-riding semi-immortal ghoul that feeds off the carnage it causes on desert highways by decapitating it and getting its head far enough away, long enough, from its relentlessly pursuant still-living body.'
