This week on The ALTER Tapes, Sharai and Joe discuss Destinee McCaster’s ‘Cabbage’ (2023), a black religious fable that we wish was a little more adventurous. While we like the visuals, Sharai has issues with the pacing/editing, and we're not ready to forgive the script by Vincent J. Walker, which skimps on Mabel's dream.

Premise: On a desolate farm, a couple's prayers are answered after a visitor offers them a sinister deal. Blinded by their joy, they struggle to realize that what they once desired may lead to their own unravelling.

This week on The ALTER Tapes, Jamie and Joe discuss Chelsea Lupkin’s ‘Scooter’ (2022), conflating demons with abusive relationships, subverting expectations, and why we want to see feminist content that pushes beyond the familiar.

Premise: Abandoned by her boyfriend in the middle of the night, Adrienne is suddenly tasked with a rescue mission when she discovers a woman trapped in the back of a van in this supernatural horror.

This week on The ALTER Tapes, Jamie and Adrian discuss Caleb Phillips’s short ‘PLAY ME’. What happens when your survival depends on trusting your memory? Do you go with your gut - or risk losing your life?

Premise: A woman wakes in a car with no memory of how she got there, and a man tied up in the back seat. Stranger still, she finds an audio recording with her voice telling her what to do next.
