Filme B - A Van Assassina (2017)
Overview
A Brazilian horror-comedy from 2017, 'Filme B - A Van Assassina' follows a group of friends being hunted by a killer van, leaning hard into B-movie genre homage. The title itself signals the intent: this is a self-aware creature-feature riff, Brazilian style. The Neutral label fits because the film carries essentially no political, religious, or identity-driven content. It does not engage with family structures, LGBTQ themes, or social commentary. The cast shows visible diversity, but the film does not frame that as messaging. Religion is absent. Politics are absent. A van kills people. Sometimes that is enough.
