Hi, art historian here! The mask of the red-haired woman actually looks like it's modeled off of actual masks that the Ancient Greeks wore during theatrical performances. The gaping mouth was actually used as a natural microphone to annunciate the words of the actors while they performed in large arenas. Pretty interesting choice from the costuming department, great detail!

Awesome to see Josh Ruben from College Humor making a break into the big screen. I hope this movie gets received well along with his performance. It does feel a little weird watching someone your used to making comedy sketches playing a serial killer but I hope he’s able to transcend his type cast!

My understanding was that Orestes was bound by duty to avenge the murder of his father at the hands of his mother, but was likewise bound by duty to not engage in kinslaying meaning he was trapped in a no win situation. While he did end up killing his mother in revenge and violating the taboo on kinslaying, it was ultimately determined by the gods to not be his fault. All of this is to say that it is not exactly a fair comparison to superimpose a serial killer onto Orestes and the Orestia.

Fun fact for Orestes; his father was killed by Clytemnestra, his mother. His sister was tricked into being a sacrifice by her father to start the Illiad and, in her grief and fury, promised her husband she'd kill him for it. Sure enough, 10 years later when the torjan war ends, she and her bf kill him. Orestes was bound to avenge his dad, but youre not suppose to kill family.
This is also where Cassandra comes in because Menelaus (I think it was him) brought her home as a sex slave. So dude had it coming. Honestly, Clytemnesta was in the right.

Fun little fact, metal artist Methwitch (Cameron mcbride) contributed to the music during the stove creature fight scene, aswell as providing subtle screams to the credits music. Highly advise checking out Cameron's solo stuff, he is an incredibly talented and unknown artist. Projects include: methwitch, bleach wave, your ghost in glass, cam.tbh, brid3, and voidgasm

You missed that he was prepping a pomegranate!
In Greek mythology, when Persephone is kidnapped down to Hades, Hades unknowingly tempts her to stay in the land of the dead. She ends up eating a few seeds from a POMEGRANATE.
Bruce is inviting Meredith to the land of the dead because he wants to kill her.

Honestly the weird fucking thing under the owl mask is where it got me- I laughed so loud, I love that "fuckhead going mad from repeated head trauma" has visions that are spooky and strange and- and also sometimes real fucking silly. Fucking comedy gold. Also, the revenge-porn of the erinyes torturing a serial killer in the night with surreal art shit, leading to him being outed as a sad, pathetic, jealous fucking sadsack, just like every serial killer in real life? FUCKING YES.

Never thought I’d see Josh Ruben, the guy with the funny sounds, play a deranged serial killer. It’s incredibly impressive.
