This month, the Dutch post-apocalyptic science fiction film Molly (seen above) got its home-release in the United States, courtesy of distributor Artsploitation. I had seen that film at its world premiere, as part of 2017's Imagine festival Amsterdam, and I bought the Blu-ray to see if the film really is as much fun as I remembered. Rest assured: it is. In my review I said "...the film wears its low budget on its sleeves, but then proceeds to see what level of awesomeness it can achieve with this. Like with Turbo Kid two years ago, ingenuity is the name of the game here." And at the moment, the big news from Japan is of course the phenomenal success of the ultra-low budget Indie comedy One...

"We need that girl." Artsploitation Films has released an official Us trailer for an action thriller indie film titled Molly, which is getting a direct-to-dvd/VOD release this week. I'm surprised we haven't heard about this before? Molly is described as "Mad Max meets Turbo Kid in this electrifying and imaginative tale of one young woman's determined struggle to survive in an inhospitable world." It's a post-apocalyptic survival film, starring Julia Batelaan as the badass heroine Molly. Marauders in this gritty future try to hunt her down and make her to fight in their fighting pit for their entertainment. Also starring Emma de Paauw, Annelies Appelhof, Andre Dongelmans, and Joost Bolt. As cheesy as this all sounds, it actually looks pretty cool. The super low budget look and feel honestly works well with this, and the action looks awesome. Here's the official Us trailer (+ posters) for Colinda Bongers & Thijs Meuwese's Molly,...

Back in April, the Imagine Film Festival in Amsterdam hosted the world premiere of Molly, a post-apocalyptic action thriller by Colinda Bongers and Thijs Meuwese. Cast and crew were present, and a lot of fun was had by all, as it truly is a fun film. In my review I praised the ingenuity of the team making the film, who managed to work wonders with the smallest of budgets. I quote:When the film finally enters its "attack the fortress" phase (no spoiler if you've seen the trailer), there is a shot so ambitious, so accomplished in its execution, that you can't help but wonder: how the hell did they do this?! Remember how impressed we all were when we saw Tony Jaa ascending those spiral...

A few weeks ago I saw the Dutch apocalyptic science fiction film Molly, and noticed a striking resemblance between actress Annelies Appelhof (who plays Molly's exoskeleton-enhanced nemesis Kimmy) and American actress Julianne Moore. I mean... check that image. And that's just something I culled from the trailer; once I get my hands on a copy of the entire film I can probably find even better examples. You could easily mistake them for sisters. Maybe not twins, but siblings for sure. Thing is, they aren't related. Well, as far as I know at least... You'll often see this though, especially when browsing through international cinema: actors who Really look like their (often more famous) American colleagues. Hell, sometimes the effect is so strong that I look...

Thanks to ScreenAnarchy, who unearthed the film from its premier at Imagine 2017, we now know about a scrappy new Dutch post-apocalyptic film from directors Colinda Bongers and Thijs Meuwese called Molly.
The film is decidedly low budget, but Sa's reviewer goes on to say that the film revels levels of ingenuity similar to Turbo Kid, so I am intrigued to the say the least.

Dutch science fiction films are few and far between, so when the Imagine Film Festival announced the world premiere of Molly, I was intrigued to say the least. And indeed, Colinda Bongers and Thijs Meuwese have managed to create a fun post-apocalyptic caper, and even more impressively: they manage to surprise. In Molly, we follow a super-powered woman (the titular Molly), traveling through a wasteland of beaches and dunes, some years after a terrible cataclysm. Humans are sparse in this landscape, and some diseased survivors have regressed to a feral zombie-like state. These are called "supplicants", and gangs of humans capture these for sport. "Dogfights" are even staged, where people can bet on their favorite supplicant. When a gang-leader hears stories about a super-powered girl...
