A horror about a genie and a rescuing DC movie comics “Suicide Squad”: what to watch in movies from August 5

The first week of August will be very hot for Russian audiences, as the long-awaited “Suicide Squad: Mission To Hit” by James Gunn will be released in cinemas, which could become a real salvation for the DC Universe. Of course, this is hard to believe after such a phrase has already been pronounced 10 times. But now we are talking about a film that was written and shot by James Gunn himself without pressure from the studio. In addition, a new film with Bruce Willis has been released in the cinema for the second week in a row, as well as a film about a dumb boy who decided to cause an ancient evil with the help of a book of spells.

The Suicide Squad

In 2016, David Eyre’s Suicide Squad made a lot of noise. On the one hand, it was not as bad as other DC projects at the time, on the other hand, it suffered a lot from studio interference and was not as good as it could have been. He gave the world an amazing Harley Quinn performed by Margot Robbie and the terrible (again due to the numerous cut-outs) Joker Jared Leto. And the continuation was out of the question. Until Warner Bros. failed to get at the disposal of James Gunn (“Guardians of the Galaxy”), who offered his special vision. And, which is very important, he was given complete freedom.

As a result, “Suicide Squad: Mission Bash” is, although a continuation in some way (many characters that were in the first part will appear on the screens), but, in fact, a work separate from the original. Belle Reeve prison contains the most notorious criminals who also have superpowers. It is there that Amanda Waller is recruiting herself for the top-secret project “Suicide Squad”. Among them will be both Harley Quinn, Rick Flag, Captain Boomerang, already familiar to the audience, and newcomers – Bloodsport, Shark King, Peacemaker and others. And most importantly, all these heroes were played by the stars of the first magnitude: Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, John Cena, Viola Davis, Nathan Fillion and so on.

Midnight in the Switchgrass

Just last week, I talked about Bruce Willis’ fertility in 2021, as his next film comes out in theaters. The film “Midnight in a Grain Field” is based on real events – the capture of serial killer Robert Benjamin Rhodes (the most dangerous maniac in Texas, known as “The Killer in the Truck Park”) in 1990. The film marks the directorial debut of Randall Emmett, who produced The Irishman, and last week’s Willis film Beyond Life. In addition to Die Hard, Megan Fox and Emil Hirsch played the main roles in the film.

The action of the film was moved in 2004 to Pensacola (a city located on the border of the states of Florida and Alabama, USA). Police officer Byron Crawford (Hirsch) discovers the girl’s corpse. He believes that the murder is related to others committed in the area by a local maniac. However, the authorities forbid Crawford to search for a serial killer. At the same time, FBI agents Karl Helter (Willis) and Rebecca Lombardi (Fox) are trying to shut down a network of traffickers. The woman plays the role of bait and unexpectedly falls into the clutches of criminals herself, discovering the connection between them and the long-term fruitless investigation of the serial murders of young girls. This is how the FBI agents and the police officer cross paths.

The Djinn Spell

And, of course, not a week without a horror movie. This time, an American horror film from David Charbonnier and Justin Powell, who showed a good horror film “Hide” last year, will visit Russian cinemas. Interestingly, the boy Ezra Dewey, who played a minor role in the previous project of the directors (and screenwriters), this time got the main one. You can also note the unusual fact that on the wave of the success of the game Phasmophobia, many films began to appear about unusual spirits, ghosts and demons. For example, the creators of this film remembered the real genies (and not the Disney interpretation). Even in the trailer, you can see a lot of references to the game: the same doors to the closet, the TV turned on, and several others.

After the death of his mother, the mute boy Dylan and his father move to a new home. When the father leaves for work on the night shift, he asks his son not to climb the house. Naturally, Dylan starts wandering the rooms. He finds an ancient spellbook in one of the cupboards. It contains the ritual of summoning a genie, which can fulfill the cherished desire of a person if he survives the deadly game.
