daily scream: flesh and blood... so much blood
2017’s *Raw* is on Apple TV and YouTube on both sides of the Atlantic (and other services, too)
The Daily Stream becomes the Daily Scream for spooky season!
Horror finds new cinematic expression in French filmmaker Julia Ducournau’s shocking and visceral Raw, from 2017. A shy, virginal student’s first confrontations with the grownup world of sex and self-determination comes just after a college hazing ritual that forces her to eat meat for the first time in her life: she was raised strictly vegetarian. Well, no more. Ducournau turns the the awful, violent things girls do to their own bodies — waxing, purging — outward on others, and casts female desire as ravenously predatory in a way that few films have ever had the audacity to do. This film is not for the squeamish. Really. (Read my 2017 review.)
