2022/11/03

Following the huge success of The Matrix Trilogy, The Wachowskis' turned their attention to the world of comic book adaptations with 2005’s V for Vendetta. Featuring an often-overlooked James McTeigue in the directors’ chair and a combination of James Purefoy & Hugo Weaving behind the now iconic mask, it’s a tale of governmental domination, of totalitarianism, of suppression of freedoms and the extinguishing of liberties. London is ruled by an oppressive political party that controls every

In 1979, Italian exploitation filmmaker Ruggero Deodato, would assemble a cast comprising of Actors Studio alumni, indigenous Americans and international porn stars, head to the Amazon jungle, and embark on a long and treacherous shoot that would create one of the most depraved and maligned films to grace the cinematheque in the 20th century. But here we are less than a decade from its 50 year anniversary, and with the tide turning in its favor, we explore the stories behind the scenes, the film

Video Nasty Month continues with Don’t Go In The House, aka, The Burning, aka The Burning Man. From first-time director Joseph Ellison, a name unfamiliar to most, it’s a tale of deep psychological trauma and the unpleasant ways it can manifest itself. Following factory worker Donny Kohler as he goes on a fire-laden killing spree while he’s plagued by voices in his head, it serves as somewhat of a companion piece to last week’s film The Witch Who Came From The Sea, exploring similar themes but in a

2022/09/15

5 years before Jonathan Demme brought us The Silence of the Lambs, Michael Mann would be the first to bring Hannibal Lector off the page and onto the big screen. Adapted from Thomas Harris' novel Red Dragon, the first in his Hannibal series, Manhunter is a completely different beast to The Silence of the Lambs and the films that would follow. Gone are the gothic inflections and the Grand Guignol of Demme's masterpiece and in are the icy cool modernist neo-noir expressionism of Mann's

In 1987, a Los Angeles housewife finds her health deteriorating for no apparent reason, and with an indifferent husband, uncaring friends and doctors who can do nothing to help her, she takes matters into her own hands. Convinced that she’s suffering from so-called ‘environmental illnesses’, she seeks out a retreat in the countryside, a facility for those who share her ailment. But is there any merit in the retreat’s methods? Are the staff on the up and up? And why does the facility’s owner live in

After a short summer hiatus, We're back! and for our returning episode we'll be taking a dive into Brian De Palma's most controversial film, Body Double. At the forefront of the erotic thriller genre, Body Double borrows heavily from De Palma's hero Alfred Hitchcock. Blending themes and tropes from Rear Window and Vertigo, Body Double weaves a Hollywood story that includes voyeurism, the porn industry and mistaken identity. Shot with De Palma's trademark visual flare, Body Double is well worth the

Blurring the lines between fantasy and reality, Andrew Patterson's directorial debut is an accomplished masterclass in filmmaking on a budget. Set in 1950s Cayuga, New Mexico - yes, the allusions are purposeful - we follow two teenaged central characters: the spritely switchboard worker Fay, who digests the futurist tabloid stories of the day with glee and Everett, the local DJ at WOTW - once again the allusion on the nose.

Premiering at the Edinburgh International Film Festival and being released by Netflix a week later, Calibre is a film you’ll struggle to find fans of, but that’s certainly nothing doing to do with its quality. Following a pair of boarding school friends who go on a hunting trip in the Scottish Highlands, falling foul of the locals and finding themselves in a run for their life as they try to cover up a devastating mistake, it’s a modern horror classic with echoes of Deliverance, Wicker Man and An

Back in 1980, a slasher film, released during the genre’s boom period, was released to scathing reviews, public outrage and widespread condemnation. That film was Maniac, starring late, great character actor Joe Spinell as Frank Zito. When he’s not cooped up in his apartment talking to a variety of mannequins, he’s prowling the street looking for blood. He hunts down women, kills them and removes their scalps.

Taking its influence from the Columbine School Massacre, Gus Van Sant's second film in his unofficial 'Death Trilogy' follows high school students as they navigate their way through a normal school day until an all too timely tragedy befalls them. Borrowing stylistic techniques from Hungarian director Bela Tarr, Van Sant chooses to film Elephant in a Cinema Verite style that doesn't give definite answers to what will unfold, but will give the viewer the space and time to provide answers - or lack

Following a shall we say unusual family over 3 generations, through World War 2, the Cold War and up to modern times, it examines the history of Hungary across the decades, with the story being told through a succession of bizarre happenings, twisted imagery and grotesque visuals.

Splicing filming techniques including stop-motion animation with an industrial score, Tetsuo tells the story of a Metal Fetishist's revenge on the man who, not only ran him over, but attempted to dispose of his body. The way he enacts his revenge? By slowly turning him into metal. Strange? We know. A film that conjures films of the past such as Frankenstein and the work of David Lynch and
