Movie Review: Muse (2017)

Lit Prof. Samuel Salomon (now there’s a name that would make ol’ Stan Lee green with envy that he didn’t thunk of it first…oh, and he’s played by Elliot Cowan) is one grief stricken mother fucker. You see, a year ago his girlfriend bought the farm and he hasn’t been able to work since! Along with that major bummer, he keeps having nightmares of a mystery woman gettin’ hers at the hands of some arcane acolytes during one of your occult rituals that the kids dig so much these days. As fate and fright flick conventions would have it; the woman turns up dead in the really real world in the same manner of demise as peeped in our hero’s dream. Because common sense has never been an attribute of any protagonist in a horror film ever, Sammy visits the crime seen and encounters Rachel (Franka Potente); a lady that had the same damn nocturnal torment as S-dawg! The dynamic

Hallo meine kleinen Monster, es ist wieder Mittwoch. If’n you don’t understand German, I’m basically eluding to the fact that it is again Wednesday, and of course you all know that Wednesday is the day we focus on another wonderful Woman of Horror. “Why the German?”, you may ask. It’s because today’s lovely and talented lady is a German, born and raised. Franke Potente is an actress you may likely have seen, but may not know her contribution to our beloved horror genre.

Franke was born in Münster, North Rhine-Westphalia, West Germany (that’s back before the reunification of Germany for all you youngsters out there) and grew up in the nearby town of Dülmen. Franke has a younger brother, who was very ill after his birth.
