ROSEMARY’S BABY
This may well be the key horror novel of our time
1992: The Year in Bedlam
For me the cinema of 1992 will always be shadowed by one all-encompassing real-life event: the rioting that took place on April 29 to May 4 in Los Angeles
1994: The Year in Bedlam
1994 was the year of PULP FICTION and HOOP DREAMS; here I’ll be concentrating here on thirty lesser-known films, which provide a plethora of genre-spanning quality cinema!
Roland Topor in English
France’s Roland Topor (1938-1997) was a veritable genius of perverse and surreal literature
French Horror: An Appreciation
Over the past week the world-renowned glories of France were tragically blighted by terror and death. No matter: the richness of French culture will persist
BUDDY BOY
An uncommonly stylish, nuanced psychological thriller with distinct echoes of the cinema of Roman Polanski
POLANSKI UNAUTHORIZED
The life of Roman Polanski is great material for a horror film without question, but this cheesy 2009 biopic is far from a great movie
THE FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS
Roman Polanski’s 1967 vampire comedy is not one of his better films, being a lugubrious affair that’s never particularly funny or terribly scary
THE TENANT
This Roman Polanski thriller approaches greatness and, but for some questionable artistic choices, nearly achieves it
REPULSION
One of the most influential horror movies of all time and a key film by Roman Polanski, REPULSION is a justified classic
