BLOGTOBER 10/13/2022: NOCEBO (2022)

First things first: Right now, IMDB and Wikipedia are listing only director Lorcan Finnegan's creative partner Garret Shanley as the writer of NOCEBO. In reality, the Irish co-production is also written by Ara Chawdury, a Filipino woman who largely referenced her lifetime of research into her own family for this folk horror story involving her ancestors' religious practices. The movie is brand new, of course, so hopefully all the usual online resources will catch up soon enough.

The film itself is a curiosity, not because of its ethnographic content, but because the story is deadly serious, but the execution skews pretty campy. This review is really spoilery, but I think many viewers will cotton to what's going on right away: Eva Green plays a children's fashion designer who becomes abjectly, undiagnosably ill after an unspecified personal catastrophe. She blames her frequent memory lapses when Chai Fonacier surprises her on her doorstep, insisting that she has been hired to help out around the house. The young Filipino woman soon reveals that she is a kind of witch with the power to cure or destroy a person, and her desperate employer blithely assumes that she'll stick to the former option. Though Fonacier's true motivations are revealed slowly throughout the movie, it becomes obvious quickly that Eva Green's clothing is produced in a sweatshop where a devastating tragedy took place, and the young witch is here to enact her revenge.

The ending credits include a line that says "JUSTICE FOR KENTEX WORKERS," referring to a notorious 2015 factory fire that killed 74 people in Manila. NOCEBO is laced through with genuine angst about the perilous state of affairs for invisible brown labor, as Ara Chawdury noted in her introduction to the film at the opening night of the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival. Chawdury also acknowledged the risk she felt as a writer in vilifying poor Filipino workers, but all things considered, it's hard not to see Chai Fonacier's character as the hero, at least by the end of the film. She is a magnetic performer whose emotional performance does a lot of heavy lifting for what is a fairly simple tale of revenge.

But, at the same time that Fonacier is delivering an appropriate sense of real-world horror, NOCEBO has sort of a campy sensibility that I thought they might have pushed a little further still. The key image of the film is a zombie-like hound who deploys a whirlwind of large, pulsing ticks that trigger Eva Green's illness, and she has increasingly elaborate hallucinations about these insects that are frankly delightful, especially when they turn up at a fashion shoot and cover the dancing child models (who are "urban, ethnic, Southeast Asian!"), leaving behind infectious lesions. It's possible that this wasn't meant to be as much fun as I actually found it, but I'd like to think the filmmakers wouldn't begrudge me my good time. I also enjoyed the fact that they cast english rose Eva Green, and they just have her look completely wrung out for almost the entire movie—clammy, balding, and generally beat to shit. I appreciate the feeling of righteous vengeance that drives the plot about labor exploitation, but I also like it when movies take a little revenge on attractive people. NOCEBO just might have a little something for everyone.

Vivarium (2019)

I’m frankly shocked that the film boards of multiple European nations awarded funds to this absolute turkey of a cuckoo film. It’s a rare one, spoiling the entire rest of the movie in its first image. Not only does Vivarium show its hand with images of a newly hatched cuckoo shoving its nestmates to their deaths and stealing food from its unwitting parent, but it refuses to add anything new to that basic arc. What starts as an abortive attempt to maybe comment on the futility of home-ownership for Millennials paired with more blasé commentary on the drab cookie-cutter hell of suburbia swiftly becomes an interminable slog. Tom and Gemma are trapped at No. 9 in the purgatorial Yonder community along with their changeling of a “child,” but so is the audience, and this proves to be a real watch-checker of a runtime. This is essentially the most boringerest Twilight Zone episode dragged kicking and screaming to feature length. Sure, there are some creepy beats: the “child” watches strange patterns on the television and is revealed to be of some sort of parasitic alien species with glowing nodules in its throat when agitated. But there’s simply nothing else to latch onto. It wants to be surreal and trippy in its Escherean hellscape and vague lore surrounding the aliens and their secretive ways. But mostly it’s just ploddingly paced domestic angst with little more to offer the viewer than boredom and woe.

THE RULES

SIP

Someone says ‘number 9′.

The Prospect Properties logo appears somewhere.

Someone starts woofing.

The “child” starts screaming.

BIG DRINK

Someone says ‘Yonder’.

Aerial shot of the community.

The “child” gets flipped off, sworn at, or injured.

Message on the rooftop.
