I need Wes Anderson to make a horror movie already

After watching Wes Anderson’s newest feature movie offer, The Phoenician plan (My review), I was energized by seeing him trying to inject some specific genre energy into his usual film formula. While there will be plenty of drooling dops unscrewing Anderson because of his obvious aesthetic choices, he has always vibed watching him tying his craft with a variety of different stories. The Phoenician plan It’s not a typical heist movie, but it channels that genre in a unique way thanks to Anderson’s artistic voice.

So it’s time to beat heavily I’ve been beating on what seems like decades now: Wes Anderson needs to make a horror film.

“Wes Anderson can’t make a horror movie!”

Many are likely to say that Anderson is not a suitable choice for the horror genre because his specific aspect of filmmaking is anti -critical to the expectations of the genre. “How are you going to make a movie terrible with all this silly fiction?”

We will point them in the direction of Anderson’s collection of short films that made as adaptations of Roald Dahl stories. In particular, the film versions of “The Rat Catcher” and “Poison” show that Anderson can redirect his dollhouse trends to legitimate inhibition and even terrorism. His worlds may be bright and cozy, but Anderson is not packed with naive fluff or cutesiness cutsiness. Just that he prefers the kingdom of comedy in terms of his stories.

So, why shouldn’t Wes Anderson make horror comedy?

Raimi land

Sam Raimi is one of my favorite filmmakers and one reason why it is because of its attitude to genre intensity. Namely, if Sam Raimi makes west, he is going to be the westernest west he has ever weighed The fast and the dead. If he makes a time of excitement, he’ll get you chewing your nails down to nubs with A simple plan. And if he wants to make horror comedy, he’s going to release Dying evil Flick that is a kookier than the last one.

This is all to say that Wes Anderson should embrace his inner Sam Raimi and leave freely with bonkers horror comedy unlike anything before. I am not saying that it should emulate the style of Raimi. Instead, Anderson should improve the parts of his filmmaking that would benefit from being used in a horror story. Who doesn’t want to see a Diorama from a huge ancient castle in a Vampire Wes Anderson film?

Go for broke

If the emerging horror pieces are The rat holder and Poison In any sign, Wes Anderson could easily craft a horror film with his specific funny vein pumping blood to his heart. As Anderson became an even more specialized filmmaker, it would be exciting to see him go for cutting with a horror film. It may even be a way for it to attract another generation of devotions as the horror genre is full of inquisitive and devotional followers.

I’m always interested in what Wes Anderson does as a filmmaker, and a horror film of his mind would be something I can’t imagine, as much as a lazy, lazy, unimaginative dreck would try. Here’s hoping that Anderson will get the itching and give us a horror flick unlike anyone else out there.
