INFESTATION FANTASTIC FEST 2022: BONES AND ALL

Maestro Luca Guadagnino made the Suspiria remake and must have decided he dug on the horror thing because he’s back at it again with Bones And All. The story follows Maren (Taylor Russell) an 18 year old girl suddenly on her own because her father just can’t take care of her anymore. Mainly because of her very specific and horrible needs. She’s a cannibal and not like a “I’m crazy and want to eat people” kind but the “I biologically have to eat people because I’m literally a kind of being that requires it” kind. Hitting the road, she decides to track down her mother, long missing and maybe dead, in order to find out more about herself and why she is the way she is. Along the way she discovers ‘eaters’ are not only out there, but they can smell each other from a good distance. She encounters the creepy but helpful Sully (Mark Rylance) but moves on until she meets Lee (Timothée Chalamet). The two have an ‘eat-cute’ and travel together in the quest. Chris and Wright loved this and think it’s not only one of the best of the festival but one of Guadagnino’s best films to boot.

Christopher Lawrence Cox (Founder, Da Boss)

Born in the wilds of northern Virginia, Chris managed to put all of his survival skills to use and barely escaped with his life to Austin Texas in 1992 where ever since he’s dabbled in everything from plumber’s assistant to sandwich maker, from band to bar management. An opportunity to see theatrical release films for free by becoming a critic on a local public access show called “The Reel Deal” turned into a full-time job when Chris and his friends decided to take it to the internet. They built the site Spill.com, adding multiple podcasts and animated features, to no small amount of success. During this time, a fortuitous friendship sprung up between Chris and young Brian Salisbury, who was also a local film critic, and they merged their forces of will, and their laundry list of ideas for shows, to eventually build this community of critics. While Brian eventually followed his heart to a new family, Chris continues on with a cast of colorful folks from all over the country (and a few others). You can also check out Chris in his videocast, along with Martin Thomas and Danni Danger, that One Of Us does with our friends at Bell of Lost Souls: Crossover Event. He also regularly guests on the video game website Rage Select. Follow Chris on Twitter and Facebook and check out his Amazon Wish List.
