Diese Frage versuchen diesmal André, Antje und Schröck zu beantworten, indem sie nicht nur die Kino- und Streamingneustarts dieser Woche, sondern auch die der vergangenen sowie das komplette Programm der FANTASY FILMFEST NIGHTS beleuchten. Dabei wird es ordentlich blutig, denn nicht nur eine Mörder-Maus und ein Killer-Einhorn machen in SCREAMBOAT und DEATH OF A UNICORN Jagd auf mal mehr, mal weniger unschuldige Opfer. So richtig schmerzhaft wird es vor allem im Fall SHADOW FORCE, dem vielleicht schlechtesten Film des Jahres 2025. Außerdem bläst ein Altbekannter zum Angriff auf die Oberschicht, denn der Protagonist aus MUXMÄUSCHENSTILL meldet sich in einem zweiten Teil zurück. SYSTEMSPRENGER-Star Helena Zengel muss derweil ein kleines knuffiges Fantasiewesen vor ihrem blutrünstigen Vater beschützen und begibt sich in dem zauberhaften Abenteuerfilm DIE LEGENDE VON OCHI auf eine Odyssee durch wunderschöne Landschaften und Wälder. Wunderschön wäre gern auch die Hauptfigur aus THE UGLY STEPSISTER, einer radikalen Neuinterpretation des Märchens „Aschenputtel“ - und für André, Antje und Schröck das Highlight auf den diesjährigen Fantasy Filmfest Nights. Da können die drei schon beim Trailer kaum hingucken, der nicht zufällig Erinnerungen an THE SUBSTANCE weckt. Seid daher gewappnet für allerhand Exzesse und Schmierigkeiten, aber auch für viel Herz und ein bisschen (NETFLIX-)Action in dieser prall gefüllten Ausgabe von KINO PLUS.
