<h2>movie, Founders Day</h2>
Advertising “Founder Days” as a “bold political slasher” gives too much credit to the movie itself, which follows a post-“Scream” killing spree that precedes a small town’s mayoral election. The movie’s sense of politics boils down to a trite post-Wes-Craven moral relativity, where the incumbent mayor and her obnoxious opponent both sloganeer and campaign in ways that make them seem inauthentic and performative. The rest of the movie thankfully focuses on hormonal teen protagonists, whose dialogue could admittedly be more polished and whose deaths could definitely be grislier. A couple of pedal-to-the-floor melodramatic twists suggest that “Founders Days” might’ve been a bolder or just meaner genre movie, but its toothless satire, like its timid horror drama, sadly doesn’t cut it.
Political antagonism never comes to a full head in the sleepy American everytown of Fairwood, where Mayor Gladwell (Amy Hargreaves) prepares to fight for her public office against Harold Faulkner (Jayce Bartok), her mid-simmer hothead competitor. Fairwood’s the sort of place where young lovers commit themselves to each other with a gym lock on the local foot bridge. Somehow, a small and neatly bifurcated demonstration has broken out just in front of the Fairwood jewel box movie theater. Both Harold and the Mayor’s supporters are picketing each other, though it’s hard to say why beyond their pandering lawn signs.
