I have a sneaking suspicion that Robert Eggers’ upcoming Nosferatu is going to not do all that well at the box office. And there are a few reasons why I think that that going to be the case – take a look at the video for more – one worth thinking about is why it’s […]
While I think that the best genre is produced in the United States, there are some pretty strong contenders. Such as the French. Directors like Alexandre Aja, Xavier Gans, Dominique Rochere, Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury, etc are really doing some really interesting work in that they take ideas you’ve seen before, such as serial […]
If you’re familiar with David Ayer’s Suicide Squad (2016) it’s probably due to it being a massive hit at the box office (which I think had to do more with the time it was released than anything else because during what I like to call the superhero boom you could throw a cape on virtually […]
I watch a lot of movies, and one thing I have come to notice, particularly in reference to smaller productions, is that drones – the small robots that when equipped with a camera can give shots from heights and angles open only to larger productions in the past – are becoming fairly ubiquitous. And I […]
I hadn’t seen Victor Salva‘s Jeepers Creepers II in a while so I recently rewatched it. And it’s better than I remembered. Jeepers Creepers II takes place after the original 2001 film with a new story that reveals more information about The Creeper and by my reckoning is one of the best sequels ever made, […]
I just watched François Ozon’s Summer of 85 and for the most part enjoyed it, except for two things. The first was when Alexis Robin (Félix Lefebvre) and Kate (Philippine Velge) visited the body of David Gorman (Benjamin Voisin) at the morgue. Here’s where the movie veered dangerously close to slapstick with a really odd […]
You can probably guess from the title of this article that I don’t think Saturn 3 is a great movie though what I find most interesting is that you can see the potential for greatness all over it. As I mention in the video, the original director, John Barry, left the production after only two […]
Halloween II, directed by Rick Rosenthal is in it’s way fascinating because how it came together is more interesting than the movie itself. John Carpenter, the director of Halloween, didn’t want to revisit Haddonfield, instead wanting to direct a sequel revolving around entirely different characters, though holding in common Halloween and the potential horrors it […]
Did you see The Haunting of Hill House (2018) on Netflix? If you haven’t it’s still there and well worth seeing though the reason I mention it is because I have a suspicion that it owes a lot to Peter Medak’s The Changeling, which is likely among the best ghost stories ever put to film. […]
Danny and Michael Phillippou’s Talk to Me is a remarkable debut for the two Australian filmmakers and while it doesn’t do anything that you haven’t seen before, it does it so well that you don’t notice how familiar it actually is. The story revolves around a group of young people who with the use of […]
