  • AGFA/Bleeding Skull Releasing Pathogen

    Coming later this month.

    https://vinegarsyndrome.com/collecti...bleeding-skull

    Conceived when filmmaker Emily Hagins was 12 and released when she was 15, PATHOGEN is one of the most accomplished horror movies ever made by a person before they could legally drive a car. A mysterious technology has transformed the residents of Austin, TX into flesh-craving zombies. Armed with a knife, an axe, and many pairs of flip-flops, middleschooler Dannie and her pee-wee zombie squad take to the streets to battle undead parents, teens, and even a toddler. With an impressive devotion to editing and storytelling, PATHOGEN delivers eyeball gouging, decapitations, and knife fights, along with an endearing perspective that could only originate from a teenager. AGFA + Bleeding Skull! are overjoyed to give PATHOGEN its first-ever wide release, complete with ZOMBIE GIRL: THE MOVIE—a feature-length documentary about the making of the movie.

    directed by: Emily Hagins
    starring: Rose Kent-McGlew, Tiger Darrow

      Watched this with a friend last year and we both found it equal parts fascinating and frustrating. Fascinating in its wild ambition - ensemble cast, plot twists, zombie attack sequences - and frustrating in that so much effort has been put into staging this ambitious project and so little into the actual filmmaking. Lots of potentially great moments let down by very simplistic point-and-shoot framing and wildly inconsistent acting. But hey, it's a movie made by a 13 year-old and it's impressive that it even exists so you can only criticise so much. I think the reason we got so obsessed with the technical criticisms is we couldn't help comparing it to the (bad) short films we were making around that age, and we were the kind of tech obsessed weirdos who were matting off the viewfinders on our camcorders to shoot in 2.55:1 so we clearly had very different priorities as teenagers. Really interested to hear the commentary, I'm sure she has plenty of interesting things to say about it.
