Indie Movie Review – Derelicts

Read Time:2 Minute, 18 Second

derelicts-movie-posterFilms like Derelicts do make me worry for the friends that I’ve made over in the USA. More so than just the chance of them being shot by someone claiming to be defending his right to walk around bristling with weaponry, or catching something relatively treatable and being bankrupted. I worry that, over in the States, scenarios like we see in Derelicts may have a grain of truth in them.

My understanding of a horror film is that, for it to be scary, there has to be an element of truth and believability about it. For instance, you have to believe in ghosts for a ghost story to scare you, and you have to at least buy into the mythology of vampires, werewolves, mummies, zombies, etc. to worry about them popping in for a bite.

Derelicts is actually a Thanksgiving film

Derelicts starts with a stereotypically dysfunctional family getting ready for Thanksgiving… another thing I don’t understand. Dad is unemployed and now stays at home, Mum has replaced her affection for him with her devotion to her career. The kids are teenagers who no longer respect their parents and patch up the gaps in their souls with cocaine and masturbation. Throw into the mix Granddad and his “special friend,” who insist on having loud, enthusiastic, and frequent intercourse, and the character flaws practically write the script for you.

All that’s missing are a few members of their extended family, but they are driving over for lunch. Or are they? Will Uncle and Nephew make it? Of course they won’t!

Really, Rob, what is Derelicts about?

A quick look at the trailer shows that the meal is interrupted by a group of violent, psychopathic strangers. The Derelicts in question all seem to sport a variety of facial scars and marks; I think some of them are related, but I never picked up on the genealogy. I say that they all have facial scars, but one of them spends the entire time wearing a mask made out of a teddy bear… ah well, plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose!

There then follows your usual amounts of murder, mayhem, carnage, and catastrophe…

All of which are competently performed by the cast. The effects hold their own too. This is not going to be one of your mega budget affairs, seeing how the whole thing cost about $150,000, but it doesn’t look like it was done on the cheap.

RunPee is an excellent app that has all the info you need when going to the movies. Whenever I go to a movie, I open up the app and know when the best time to dip to the bathroom is. They have pee times for movies just a few hours after their release and it shows the dedication the team has for the service. Definitely recommend for any movie-goer.

There is enough gore to satisfy your average slasher fan but it is done with a reasonable light touch, and there is a thread of humour which takes the edge off things as well.

So, all in all, better than I was expecting!

  1. Over here in the States, instead of the fantasy threat you imagine, I think we worry more about being attacked in the streets by Antifa or BLM and having our neighborhood stores looted and burned to the ground by same. Even the Mayor of Los Angeles has an ongoing 24/7 police cordon protecting his home and family because of BLM threats.
