They have chosen John Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13... [1/2]
Quite possibly the coolest concept for a horror movie to come out in years, Redux Redux wastes nothing in telling a tale of grief, revenge, and connection across the multiverse. An absolute gem of indie filmmaking with excellent performances and world building.

The McManus Brothers have made their best movie yet with Redux Redux, a sci-fi horror film that actually puts the multiverse concept to good use.
A sci-fi festival highlight, Redux Redux breathes new life into the multiverse-hopping format. Our review from Overlook:
In this #SXSW dispatch @briantallerico.bsky.social writes about REDUX REDUX, DESCENDENT, and THE SURRENDER
A still from the film Redux Redux. A white woman stands beside a truck in desert scrubland, aiming a gun. Behind her, another figure lies on the ground beside a car, and there is blood in the dirt.
"We were excited when it occurred to us that we could light a man on fire" - Matthew McManus and Kevin McManus discuss Redux Redux www.eyeforfilm.co.uk/feature/2025... #sxsw 🎬 #filmsky

REDUX REDUX: Holy hell I’ve closed out #SXSW w/ an absolute banger. I don’t even want to spoil anything about it but mom getting revenge on the serial killer who took her daughter over & over again. Brutal, smart, efficient, evocative score, great cast/characters. Adored this McManus Brothers joint.
"Redux Redux might be the most rewarding use of the multiverse concept to date."

6. REDUX REDUX: A favorite of SXSW. Given that, probably goes without saying, I was VERY excited to sit down with Kevin McManus, Matthew McManus & Michaela McManus. Could have listened to them talk about developing this idea, and being the most supportive filmmaking family and real family for hours.

"gradually brings its characters home from endless, empty vendetta": @kevinmcmanus.bsky.social & @matthewmcmanus.bsky.social's universe-leaping repeat revenger REDUX REDUX (2025) re-screens 9.30pm tonight at @sxsw.com projectedfigures.com/2025/03/09/r...
Thanks brother!
REDUX REDUX is my favorite film of #SXSW so far!
Because covering one film festival just isn't enough, here's my coverage of #SXSW
First up is a look at REDUX REDUX which I absolutely adored. Big Terminator and Terminator 2 energy meant I immediately fell in love with it.

‘Redux Redux’ review [SXSW 2025] - "Exceptional work from Kevin and Matthew McManus, Redux Redux scratches beneath the shiny surface of the multiverse subgenre to dig into a more human and compelling story."
Last night, the McManus Brothers premiered their new film REDUX REDUX: a film more interested in character than science fiction, allowing it to use the set dressing of a multiverse to explore the very real way in which grief can cause individuals to devour themselves forever. #SXSW #ReduxRedux
Premiering at SXSW last night, REDUX REDUX is a harrowing, emotionally charged story of loss and revenge with stunning performances and a subtle, futuristic edge. Click the link for my full review.

Poster for Redux Redux. The title is presented in a bold tan font with the first word reading normally and the second word mirroring it. Mountains are in the background of a woman setting fire to a man tied to a chair. The man is lying on the desert ground as the flames overtake him.

Redux Redux
World Premiere
Concept alone sold me on this & the execution absolutely lives up to it.
A spell-binding, grounded sci-fi horror film that is as action-packed as it is affecting. Strong characters, performances, & worldbuilding help bring the tale of grief & revenge to life.
Hell yeah! Thanks for spreading the word!

ODYSSEY #SXSW #SXSW2025
Starting my #SXSW coverage with Redux Redux (2025), written & directed by Matthew + Kevin McManus. Multiverse horror is usually a yellow flag for me, but the brothers lean into character development and solid writing to make this one worth the watch.
