Join us for a discussion about HIM - a psychological horror film, with a background of American Football and sacrifice!
Watch HIM beforehand and come ready to discuss the film, themes, imagery, and performances - whether you’re a horror fan, a sports junkie, or just love bold, conversation-starting cinema.
HIM takes us inside the world of elite football, where rising quarterback Cameron Cade (Tyriq Withers) enters the orbit of veteran star Isaiah White (Marlon Wayans) at a secluded training compound, where mentorship slides into ritual, sacrifice, and supernatural dread.
If you like Jordan Peele (Get Out, Us, Nope) style social-horror, this film trailer feels the same & talks about power, fandom, and toxicity.
Director Justin Tipping has described the film's tone as a mash-up of classic horror and clinical uncanny - "Nosferatu meets Ex Machina, but with two quarterbacks."
What are you willing to sacrifice to be a star? The movie teaser shows the blood, sweat, tears, and religious imagery apparently required to give one's body and soul as a professional athlete.
The trailer seems to imply the film is about an athlete who sells his soul for fame, success, and greatness in the cut-throat world of professional sports, mirroring themes often associated with the "selling your soul" trope in music and film industries. There's only one way to find out where the journey takes us... so watch the film and then come share your views.
Meet at The Coffee Press at 11am.
