AMERICAN PSYCHO (Film)
Although it wowed many mainstream critics, this lukewarm ‘00 adaptation of Brett Easton Ellis’ infamous novel is a dreary and affected slog
AMERICAN PERFEKT
There’s never been a psycho thriller like AMERICAN PERFEKT (sic), a cunning exercise in misdirection featuring a top notch cast. It’s a shame the film isn’t better known
AMERICA’S DEADLIEST HOME VIDEO
These days it’s difficult to recall just how fresh and innovative this shot on video feature was back in 1992. It was an early attempt at found footage moviemaking, and still holds up reasonably well.
AFRAID OF THE DARK
A psychological thriller centered on a young boy and his disturbed psycho-sexual fantasies, AFRAID OF THE DARK is a strange little film that’s admirably thoughtful and subdued in its approach
THE UGLY
Pretty good nineties horror from New Zealand, with style, decent acting and gore a ‘plenty!
LOVE AND HUMAN REMAINS
A quintessentially 1990s Canadian serial killer drama that isn’t very good
TRAIL OF BLOOD
I’ve long been curious about this film, a no-budget SOV dramatization of the crimes of the Green River Killer by the cult filmmaker Ari Roussimoff, which never received much of a release
TARGETS
One of the most stunning horror films of the 1960s, and one of the finest movies ever directed by Peter Bogdonovich
DON’T LOOK NOW
One of the greatest horror movies of the 1970s, and indeed of all time: a sexy, innovative and atmospheric depiction of psychic terror
DR. LAMB
One of the most notorious films to emerge from the Category III cycle of nineties-era Hong Kong cinema
