¡QUÉ HORROR! 2015
Candidate #14
SOME KIND OF HATE
(May 2015)
"Why are we f*cking waiting in the greenhouse?
"Why are we f*cking waiting in the greenhouse?
"This is f*ckin’ bullshit.”
Bullied
loner Lincoln (Ronen Rubinstein) is sent to the Mind’s Eye Academy, a place to “reset,”
where troubled youth can work through their issues, so as to “destroy the
impulses” that brought them there in the first place.
But
since this is a horror film and not some After School Special, it’s safe to say
things do not go to plan.
The
feature debut of director (and co-writer) Adam Egypt Mortimer, Some Kind of Hate is a brutal depiction
of how petty and cruel the youth can be. While I’ll avoid getting into exactly
what the film is about, I will say it plays like a wicked, vicious inversion of
fellow ¡Qué horror! 2015 candidate Jamie Marks Is Dead (in which Rubinstein also, incidentally enough,
appears).
As
an aside, familiar genre face Noah Segan shows up here in a supporting role,
and doubles as an Executive Producer.
This
one isn’t inclined to pull punches, so be warned…
Parting
Shot: I also highly recommend Mortimer’s comic book, the whacked-out science
fiction opus, Ballistic, with art by
Darick Robertson.
