*full disclosure: a screener of this film was provided by Osiris Entertainment.
Director: Elias Matar.
Writers: Edward E. Romero, and Elias Matar.
Cast: Enrique Almeida, Joel Bryant and Chris Trouble Delfosse.
When the subtitle of the movie poster of Ashes simply says, “We All Fall Down,” the connection this film is making with the classic nursery rhyme, “Ring a Ring o’ Roses,” is almost appropriate. Ashes is just a variation of “atishoo,” an onomatopoeia for a sneezing sound.
Had this film actually made more of a fuller emphasis with the verse, more people would be making the same leap of faith that director/writer Elias Matar has made—he believes the poem is about the bubonic plague.
But with this movie, the necrosis that develops is far worse. It numbs the nerves and dulls the brain. Eventually, all these patients are going to become zombies. But that is not what this film is about.
