This is Pier Paolo Pasolini turning myth into something raw and almost alien. It strips the story down and then rebuilds it with this stark, ritualistic intensity that makes everything feel immediate and inevitable.
The imagery does most of the work. Harsh landscapes, non-naturalistic performances, and that sense of being trapped inside a fate you can’t reason your way out of. It’s not trying to be psychological in a modern sense. It’s more like watching a curse unfold in real…

Hilarious and quietly horrific in that way only childhood remembers correctly.

Tim Burton’s world is strange, but it’s Paul Reubens who makes it humane.

The romance works because it feels like another piece of that family falling into place.…

(23) Women working behind-the-scenes in cinema is always a treat to see. Watch a horror film edited/co-edited by a woman. 

Wow! I’m almost speechless. This is an amazing film. No notes! (Ok…maybe some CGI bear qualms.)

Seriously, I love the first and like the  second Predator, but this is so much more compelling.

It takes the simple formula of The Predator and use it to craft a question about what strength means. It has…

I want to live in the alternate universe where Stagefright became a huge franchise and each subsequent was known as Stagefright: Zodiac Sign.

StageFright: Libra- An Owl-headed killer wreaks havoc on an opera company practicing for opening night.
