Gotta getta gift/Gotta getta gift/For Splinter! If hell exists, there’s a bonus circle along with the original twelve eternal torments Dante wrote of full of things like this. All those…
The secret of the chameleon is known only by the gods One of the key aspects for me of being a film fan is to actually see films from around the world….
“Wunderkammer”. “Wonder room”. A cabinet of curiosities, oddities and fascinating gems from the least charted places globally. And cinema can be collected together into its own library of curiosities as…
Having watched many of Peter Greenaway’s films, it’s clear that he’s obsessed with lists. Library catalogues and files are fetishized in his films like Quentin Tarantino has his foot fetish,…
Imagine a Seventies prog rock album cover. A good one, not something quickly doodled to resemble a spaceship, fully formed and detailed in the background and the foreground. Imagine Daft…
His Shrine Was the Face of Terror! It’s strange to see a non lurid Jess Franco film. There’s violence and sex, but this is closer to a Val Lewton horror…
I hate predictability. Why, in an everyday life, where the activities of everyday work and cleaning one’s home tend to repeat the next day and then the next week, and…
In an old theatre, a troupe stay there in a bid to start performances. The main actor Sun Xiaoou (Chau-Shui Yee), while practicing a song for the first production, hears…
It’s no feckin’ lobster! Is there something amiss about an Irish film using the stereotypical image of the Irish drunk? I’m not going to try and jump to conclusions on…
You tramp crock! Questions have to be asked with this film. This is exceptionally close to being a scene-by-scene remake of William Friedkin’s The Exorcist (1973). So many moments are…
I earnestly wish an end would come to this bloody race I am forced to run. Female Vampire is, frankly, images of softcore. At times it looks like it went…
To start this review, adapted from the books by Stephanie Meyer, I have to first get more serious than usual. There’s a giant white elephant in the room that has…
Yeah, militant lumberjacks – I see ‘em all the time. Revisiting this, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III isn’t that bad. It’s alright. The problem is that it’s a second sequel…
Oh Cedric, I see you’ve brought your lettuce! The original Basket Case (1982) was a great film but not necessarily because of its premise of a man (Kevin Van Hentenryck)…
Don’t ask.
Want to tell them the truth? They’ll live the truth later. Watching Z, I wish this sort of political cinema still existed. It could be argued that political cinema is…
I am a psychiatrist. I have been for 27 years. I’m completely worn out. Year after year, listening to patients who aren’t satisfied with their lives, who want to have…
Minister Kebe: The potion must have been excellent! You haven’t changed cloths yet. Hadji Aboucader Beye: I couldn’t get it up… nothing happened! Minister Kebe: What? Hadji Aboucader Beye: I…
I would like to apologise first for covering a film that does not have a conventional release. The film, from the director himself, is available to see on an official…
I know it’s strange, but your body really turns me on! Vixen! proves that, even if it wasn’t made by cult filmmaker Russ Meyer, you can find the least expecting…
The thing about Underwater Love that makes it rewarding in the end it that it’s an erotic film that actually celebrates sex even when it occasionally gets serious. I am…
You have one choice, boy: sex or the saw. Sex is, well, nobody knows. But the saw, the saw is family. Texas Chainsaw Not-Seen-In-3D (2013) was a mechanised piece of…
The one issue with experimental films is that your first opinion is not necessarily enough if you are open to them. The advantage of this is that, if you’re willing…
Wasp Has anyone looked at books for young children from an adult’s perspective? Unlike My Little Pony and certain comic books, you wouldn’t be able to get away with reading…
