Hello, anonymous festividder, I am so sorry it's taken me so long to respond! Lately I am mostly sitting down to type while eating, and I hope you can understand why I am not able to rewatch your vid at that time.
So! This is going to be less than you deserve, in the interests of just getting it done already, and also because I love it too much to say. I love the embarassing physical squishyness of it all, meat, menstruation, the connections you draw between injuries and periods and vomiting up bloody chunks of meat, the torn animal parts, the family dinners interspersed with animal corpses because, like murder and hockey, it's the same thing in prettier clothes.
Also, I am amazed and delighted by how deadpan and hilarious the vid is, at the same time as it's horrifying and wrenching -- it's an aspect of the film I never thought about vidding, because I am terrible at comedy, and I am so glad you did it.
Some favorite bits:
0:00 - I love the fences. I can't even say why. I just love them.
0:56: There is just something so incredibly eerie about all the kids clapping to the beat while watching the projected film.
1:08: Hee. Hee. I love how you make werewolf attack = sex EVEN MORE EXPLICIT.
1:20: I love how Ginger is eating Brigitte's little girl heart by having sex with a boy/going through with puberty/going away from her. Oh, Ginger. Oh, Brigitte. (And also simultaneously reversing the gender stereotype, Ginger eating little boy hearts.)
1:22: Bridget's dour cautious look over the tampons is HILARIOUS.
1:30: Circling pen over uterus diagram!
1:35: The school nurse holding up condoms with a helpful smile
1:55: The girls hugging and the wolfsbane in Brigitte's hand just break my heart.
2:06: Brigitte's smile on "carelessly cruel" is chilling
2:38: "Just ROCK" The switch from the ominous predictablity of the door slamming shut on the beat to the shocking werewolf attack is AWESOME
Also, I love Ginger's predatory sway, aggressive and sexual, and the sisters crawling towards each other, interrupted by attacks and escape attempts; the desperate clutching of hands.
3:08: Bridget licking up the blood may be my favorite thing in the entire movie, and I am SO HAPPY you included it.
And oh, Brigitte curling up on Ginger's wolf-corpse and the return of the photographs at the end. It's perfect.
"I thought I wanted sex but what I really wanted was to tear someone to fucking pieces"
