https://youtu.be/CQ9jXVqidcsOur finished cosplay inspired by Turbo Kid (2015) by RKSS films - Anouk Whissell, François Simard and Yoann-Karl Whissell. We love this movie so much and making these costumes was SO much fun! I especially love my Gnome Stick and our helmets! We made Brian’s Turbo Kid Armor, Power Glove and props from #EVAfoam, red stretch vinyl and lots of hot glue and spray paint! My jumpsuit was custom dyed and detailed by me, and the helmet was completely custom painted. My gnome stick was made from a plastic costume bat and plastic gnome watering can that I custom painted and attached. Apple's replica harness was gorgeously recreated to perfection by @knut_i_pryanik_ We’re so proud of how our costumes and photos turned out! If you haven’t seen this fun, retro, hilariously gory and heartfelt film check it out now on Amazon Prime! And fingers crossed for #TurboKid2 someday!  #TurboKid #TurboKidCosplay #TurboKidApple #TurboKidMovie. Video at: https://youtu.be/CQ9jXVqidcs

In the Summer of 84 (2018), four boys spy on the police officer across the street whom they suspect of being a serial killer. 

As you might have guessed from the title, this film falls heavily into the 80s nostalgia aesthetic. It actually does a great job of mimicking that kind of plot structure, in addition to the synth score, clothes, and pop culture references. I don’t want to say anything that might spoil the mystery, which is definitely the main pull, but I think it’s fair to say that for most of this film, nothing unexpected happens. Every scene plays out the way you expect it to, the way it might in a familiar kidventure film. 

What I like most about this film is that it takes seriously the fears of children. Whether or not there’s actually a monster, the fear is real, and that doesn’t go away when you grow up.

Let’s talk about representation. This film has one person of color in one scene. There are three female characters, two moms and a love interest. None of them talk to each other.

Way Smarter than you think

A lot of people will make their minds up in the first 10 minutes saying its just a Stranger Things and IT rip off and think it brings nothing new to the game .. but they are wrong. Its less effects , less horror and more a cold sick thriller about youth being unrespected and non trusted by adults. IF you don't know the basic premis of the movie is what if the cliche gang from an 80s teen movie didn't find the girl, didn't find the monster or the pirate ship but a legit serial killer and it got to damn real. Maybe this effects me more cause I was 15 when Paul Bernardo was arrested after taking a girl from the same town I was going to school in. My Aunt was on the news as she was a 911 operator that took the tip describing Bernardos car that led to his man hunt. So maybe I see myself in these kids a little more than just the cliche characters they are. The movie looks like it should be silly fun to watch but it is slow and uncomfortable when the 80s teen sex issues are just a misdirection and purposefully not funny so they can lead into a rather dark truth about not being safe in a time when everyone thought they were safe. However ones 80s sight gag you might catch is that there is a arcade console of Polybius in the back ground.. again showing that the film makers know this is the 80s that DID NOT actually happen. If you are not familiar with Polybius enjoy googling it. Annyways.. the final quarter of the film (with out spoilers) turns straight twisted, evening knowing it’s coming its upsetting  , partially in a betrayal form and in a horror movie form. Then a final ending which is an exploitation fuck you that will upset hollywood “fun” movie fans but will make others want to talk about it. The film makers known as RKSS are guys that I personally love and this is purposely holding back from their usual more outlandish style, so not to seem just like their other projects but this does open the doors more and I am curious what is next for them. If there is anything I didn't like it’s maybe too much synth as it’s passe fake retro HOWEVER the cheapie b slashers had those in them  sometimes, just only Carpenter films had that music in the larger horror movies. But for now I am still a fan of the music. The movie made me angry but in a way I wanted as the characters you get frustrated with I feel you are supposed to feel that way , so I felt justified ... so thats as harsh as I can be on this film. I hope more people give it an open minded chance and find the deeper movie in here than just another 80s hash horror geeks fan film.

National Canadian Film Day : TURBO KID de RKSS

En ce National Canadian Film Day, pourquoi pas voir ou revoir Turbo Kid?

Après tout, on pourra prochainement découvrir le nouveau film de RKSS, Summer of 84 (notamment à Fantasia cet été), puis on est pas mal d’accord avec la citation sur le Blu-ray du dude qui dit que Turbo Kid est “le meilleur film de genre québécois de tous les temps”.

Extrait de ma critique originale de 2015 : Turbo Kid, c’est comme si, vers la fin des années 1980, trois gamins hyperactifs et un brin sadiques, influencés par George Miller, Sam Raimi et John Carpenter, avaient tourné un film post-apocalyptique avec les moyens du bord, compensant pour leur budget limité avec une imagination sans borne.

If you love TURBO KID as much as I do, then you’ll love this piece. Giving us some backstory on the amazing Apple played by the talented Laurence Leboeuf. This music video/short film tells us what our favorite pink haired robot was up to before meeting Turbo Kid. Hopefully we’ll get more Turbo Kid story in some way, shape or form.
