Comments like, “We don’t have any of you in town,” coming from the uncouth new neighbors - a jab at both Malik’s sexuality and perhaps his race - only exasperates Malik’s anxieties. However, almost immediately, a sense of unease about their new homestead begins to creep its way into Malik’s worries. Two young men making out in a car are interrupted by blinding lights followed by flashes of a violent, hate-fueled altercation - a nightmarish memory of Malik’s that continues to be elaborated on throughout the film.įast forward twelve years later to Malik (impeccably portrayed by Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman), along with his partner Aaron (Ari Cohen) and his teenage daughter,Kayla (Jennifer Laporte), setting off for country living bliss away from the city. Spiral opens on a snowy night in December of 1983, in a deserted parking lot. For some of us horror fans, it is few and far between where a film caters to our sensibilities… and fears.īecause of this, I was eager to dive into the new Shudder original, Spiral, a film co-written by John Poliquin and Colin Minihan and directed by Kurtis David Harder.
Where to watch spiral movie#
There is something special added to the movie watching experience when you can truly relate to a character or specific emotions played out before you. Fans of horror are found everywhere - in every economic bracket, in every profession - knowing no bounds on age, race or sexual orientation. I firmly believe in the importance of representation in films, especially in the horror genre. And when Malik spies the neighbors next door throwing a very strange party, something shocking has got to give. But nothing is as it seems in their picturesque neighborhood. Aaron and Malik move to a small town so they can enjoy a better quality of life, and raise their 16 year-old daughter with the best social values.
