Reviews & Commentary by Adam Groves
SWISSMADE
a 1968 science fiction themed three parter from Switzerland that’s known primarily for the fact that one of its segments was designed (not directed, as the imdb erroneously reports) by the late H.R. Giger
MEAT
The most fearsome and notorious Frederick Wiseman documentary of them all
LAW AND ORDER
A documentary about police officers from 1969 that seems especially relevant to 2020
SPLIT
SPLIT is simply one of the world’s great unknown science fiction films
ABED
A 50 minute zombie-fest from 2012 that sets new standards for cinematic outrage
THE LIFE OF POLYCRATES & OTHER STORIES FOR ANTIQUATED CHILDREN
This volume proves that genuinely vital avant-garde fiction is alive and well.
THE LIBRARY
THE LIBRARY, Zivkovic’s seventh book, isn’t nearly as monumental or as mind-boggling as some of his other works–particularly his confounding masterpiece ESCHER’S LOOPS–but it is at least easier to read.
LENIN LIVES!
Give this one points for audacity, pivoting as it does on the resurrection of V.I. Lenin at the height of the Cold War. LENIN LIVES! is best viewed as an eccentric time capsule from a decade that wasn’t nearly as idyllic as so many of you like to pretend it was.
LEGION
This is the official sequel to THE EXORCIST (the novel) written by its creator William Peter Blatty. Most of the things that made THE EXORCIST such a memorable read are in evidence in LEGION, including page-turning suspense, strong characterizations and a powerful sense of raging evil.
LAIRS OF THE HIDDEN GODS Vol. 2
This is the second of Kurodahan Press’ four volume LAIRS OF THE HIDDEN GODS anthology of Japanese Cthulhu Mythos, and, as with the first entry, it’s a first rate collection with excellent translations.
