I just had a flashback, but in it I was wearing a white denim jacket and tapered jeans. The 80s was a wonderful decade with pop stars battling with big hair and friendly smiles all hoping to stand at the top of the charts. And two teen queens were racing to the top. Debbie Gibson and Tiffany.
Now, decades later the pair find themselves facing off again. Deborah Gibson’s Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus is making viral waves on the net, and will be shown as part of the Cannes Film Festival. While another film is gaining some attention as a byproduct of one of its stars. Tiffany has clawed her way out of obscurity and is staring in Blood Snow (marketed as Necrosis in the US), also screening at Cannes.
Much different than the Sci-Fi “Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus”, the Psychological Horror “Blood Snow” takes on a much more classic “Shining” type of feel. Blood Snow is a film about six friends who arrive at an isolated cabin to enjoy a long weekend in the snow. An epic snowstorm interrupts their vacation, trapping them on the mountain and resurrecting the haunting ghosts of the Donner Party.
Blood Snow was already accepted as a Cannes selection before this viral buzz started on Deborah’s Mega Shark film, and will very conveniently get attention because of the connection between the two stars.
The film also stars James Kyson Lee (Ando on Heroes) and some other minor stars (including some guy who looks like Sloth from the Goonies).
