One of the best horror films of 2016


Estranged friends and struggling actresses Anna (Mackenzie Davis) and Beth (Caitlin FitzGerald) head to Big Sur with hopes of getting away from it all and re-connecting in the process. Things do not go according to plan. Director Sophia Takal’s unsettling, anxiety-ridden Always Shine has hints of David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive, but is really its own unique experience. At the center of it all is a fierce, startling performance from Mackenzie Davis balanced by much different, but equally incredible work from Caitlin FitzGerald. A meditation of jealousy, sexism and self-hatred, Always Shine won’t strike many as a “traditional” horror movie, but it’s horror roots are firmly planted. Always Shine is the best type of horror: the subtle kind that creeps its way under your skin when you least suspect it. http://www.cutprintfilm.com/features/best-horror-movies-2016/
