Things I realised from the latest Severin Cellar video: Director Adam Rehmeier has great taste in grindhouse films; I don't own a copy of the classic Aussie horror Patrick (1978); and lastly, Severin did a better job of letting me know about Rehmeier's new film than the marketing team over at Paramount.
Set in the summer of 1991, Snack Shack (2024) is a teen comedy inspired by Rehemeier's upbringing in Nebraska City about two young entrepreneurs and their various escapades. Hardly sounds like the type of film that scratches that itch for Dada Debaser type films, however, judging by its trailer, it's already looking better than the overrated and unfunny shite that was Bottoms from last year.
Rehemeier's previous effort was Dinner in America (2020/2021); a film that can fundamentally be described as a rom-com, which wouldn't be a genre that appeals to me at all. Surprisingly, it turned out to be one of the best movies to come around my way in recent years. It's grown into a cult movie since then, with even YouTuble film bozos RedLetterMedia gushing over it with praise. Therefore, I'm eager to see how potentially great Snack Shack might be, and how it compares to Rehemeir's modern classic.
