Cinema, unless it is bound by the often intransigent ties of a studio, is usually a means of artistic expression synonymous with creative freedom. Of course, there are no written rules that must be followed to the letter, but if there is a genre that makes it easier for authors to let their hair down and indulge in the most absurd experiments at a formal and plot level, that is terror.
However, even with the facilities inherent in this type of production, surprising the most seasoned audience in the field is usually a tremendously complicated task. More than a century after the birth of cinematographic horror, it seems that there is no longer room to innovate the codes, explored and twisted ad nauseam , that cement these stories.
But this, when the stars and talent align, does not have to be an impediment to stimulating a respectable cured of horror as it deserves, and the latest example of this is 'The Covid Killer' ; a hilarious and enervating proposal that replicates and reconstructs extremely familiar resources with enough intelligence to give shape to one of the great horror films that will go through our long-suffering retinas this 2021.
