Reviews & Commentary by Adam Groves
STAKE LAND
If Terrence Malick directed I AM LEGEND the results would probably play a lot like Jim Mickle’s STAKE LAND, a terrific apocalyptic horror fest, and one of the standout films of 2011
SPLIT SECOND
An above average Rutger Hauer vehicle from 1992 that mixes future shock—make that schlock—and splatter
SPLICE
This Canadian production is the most ambitious film to date by Canada’s highly idiosyncratic Vincenzo Natali. It suffers from a somewhat haphazard narrative but is still one of most memorable films of 2010
THE SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE
Far from standard horror fare, the 1973 Spanish film SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE is an extremely difficult, uneventful mood piece that requires multiple viewings—in short, an Art Film
SPIKE OF LOVE
A cult movie in search of a cult, this Canadian made outrage plays like MARAT/SADE reconfigured as a nineties black comedy, being an unrestrained blast of insanity with nearly every imaginable perversion
A PERFECTLY NATURAL ACT
THE INVISIBLE MAN gets a thoroughly twisted updating in this forgotten relic from the early 1970s, when major publishers were actually willing to take on a perverse oddity like A PERFECTLY NATURAL ACT
PEOPLE LIVE STILL IN CASHTOWN CORNERS
Here we have a highly literary tale of mass murder told from the killer’s point of view
PARASITE
This novel, the first in Ira Grant’s “Parasitology” trilogy, boasts a riveting Cronenbergian premise and is a definite page-turner (and has a very striking cover design)
PANORAMA OF HELL
A pitiless vision of Hell on Earth, manga style!
RUE ST. DENIS
Nine psychologically based supernatural tales situated around the Montreal street Rue St. Denis. All the stories are strong, although I’m not exactly jumping-up-and-down enthusiastic over any of them
