Cryptic Rock Magazine — which offers “thoughtful, and intelligent” coverage of developments in the music, film and television industries — recently reviewed Joshua Morgan’s new feature-length horror film, CHILDREN OF THE PINES.
▫️
In it, writer Lauren Hopkins notes how this “young up-and-coming filmmaker” has received numerous accolades on the festival circuit, including several “Best Feature,” “Best Thriller,” and “Audience Award” wins.
▫️
Calling the movie “extremely unique,” Hopkins describes how the protagonist, Riley (played by Kelly Tappan), returns home during a college break to find her parents and ex-boyfriend acting strangely and engaging in unusual behavior.
▫️
Hopkins writes, in part:
✍️
“Setting the stage for Children of the Pines is a strong score by Sune Rose Wagner of The Raveonettes (who also composed the score for the Oscar-nominated movie A War in 2015) that creates music that gives an uneasy feeling. The lighting and atmosphere of the film are pristine too. You can follow along easily with the shots and angles and there is no confusion … the characters are so enthralling.”
▫️
She continues:
✍️
“With so many effective methods utilized in Children of the Pines, the end makes this film stand out and gives you an “oh my god” moment. Moody and unease, it is highly recommended you check out Children of the Pines.”
▫️
