Slapface (2022)
Nachdem seine alleinerziehende Mutter bei einem Autounfall ums Leben gekommen ist, zieht Teenager Lucas (August Maturo) bei seinem auf dem Lande lebenden, älteren Bruder Tom (Mike Manning) ein. Tom ist wenig begeistert von der Situation, da er nicht weiß, wie er mit Lucas und seinen pubertären Problemen umgehen soll. Anstatt mit ihm zu reden, praktiziert er allenfalls mal „Slapface“ mit ihm – ein Spiel, bei dem sich die Teilnehmer abwechselnd ohrfeigen, bis einer von ihnen aufgibt. Auch in der Schule findet Lucas keine Freunde. Eines Tages erfährt er von einer lokalen Legende, der Hexe Virago. Lucas beschließt, das Monster in sein Leben einzuladen. Und obwohl Virago zu ungeheurer Gewalt fähig ist, erweist sie sich tatsächlich als zuverlässige Begleiterin für den einsamen und verwirrten Jungen. Auf ihre ganz eigene Art und Weise hilft sie ihm, seine Probleme zu bewältigen …
