The first minutes of ‘The Hate Club’ are very disturbing and nothing relevant happens. we are in a school. A woman comes out of the bathroom after confirming that she is not pregnant, but we will find out later that she wants to be pregnant. He walks past the Latin American cleaning lady and looks at her with disdain. Outside, he finds a boy waiting for his mother to come. He sits next to her and asks her to tell the woman to be careful while washing the dishes because she could slip on the wet floor and hurt herself. The camera follows the central teacher to a church in the forest, where she meets him. Other women of Aryan ideology. The camera stops, shakes. The one-shot sequence from which the movie was shot makes a lot of sense here: real time is perfect for showing the horror that nestles within it. exaltation meeting ‘trumpista’, And given the rise of the far right, it’s clear that it’s a very timely film.
Africans, Mexicans, Colombians, Jews… They don’t leave puppets without heads.. One of the women is even part of the Ku Klux Klan. It’s a Blumhouse production, a company that uses horror movies as a political weapon in the “Paranormal Activity” series as well as the “Sinister”, “Let me out” or “Purge” saga. Terrorism gains other lines here: humanize the beast so that the depiction of its frivolity is more effective.
