Darkness Rising

15 July 2009 2:58 PM, PDT | From ifc.com | See recent IFC news

From Bambi's mother's death to the destruction of Alderaan, every modern generation is cursed and blessed with its very own big-screen traumas. "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," the sixth film in the series based on J.K. Rowling's fantasy novels, contains a doozy; that millions of readers know it's coming won't dim its power in the least. Screenwriter Steve Kloves, director David Yates and the familiar, still-sturdy cast play the grim moment and its aftermath for incredulous shock rather than raw sentiment, knowing viewers will supply the latter in spades.

As devotees know, this entry finds Hogwarts in a funk, its faculty and students still reeling from the death of Harry's godfather and the "I am your father, Luke"-level revelation that the hero is, in fact, The Chosen One. Headmaster Dumbledore (Michael Gambon) interrupts Harry's holiday-among-the-common folks (even wand-blocking his flirtation with a star-struck coffee shop waitress) to

Errol Morris: Come Along On My Death Trip

Errol Morris: Come Along On My Death Trip

by Jon Zelazny

The acclaimed documentary filmmaker Errol Morris once devoted an episode of his cable TV series First Person to a criminal behaviorist named Michael Stone, a pleasant, slightly nebbish intellectual of about sixty who analyzes and classifies “evil” behavior, from the mildly exasperating to the most disturbing outer reaches of violent insanity. Morris seems to take an odd delight in having this gentle man run through a true-crime litany of torture, murder, and unthinkable depravity, then at the end of the program, asks Stone how he developed an interest in such gruesome activities. Stone seems puzzled by the question. He thinks for a moment, and describes how he endured some bullying as a schoolboy: nothing too terrible; he was just picked on and pushed around a bit. Morris then asks something like, “Do you think there’s something mysterious inside you,

Back Catalogue #1 - Synapse Films

29 April 2009 1:43 PM, PDT | From Fangoria.com | See recent Fangoria news

Welcome to the first installment of a new column here at Fangoria.com, Back Catalogue. Sometimes the Catalogue will cover new releases of older films, and sometimes it will feature exactly what the title implies, back catalogue items. These will normally be from smaller specialty labels that have formed the backbone of the horror fans ability to build a truly representative collection of their favorite films. I'm proud to start this column back up after a two year hiatus and promise to work hard to recommend films that you're in danger of forgetting about, have maybe never heard of, or that might be ready to go out of print.

I'm also proud that the first edition of Catalogue is all about Synapse Films. Anybody who goes to conventions and has stopped by the Synapse table has not only seen first hand the amazing array of labor of love releases and Special Editions they produce,

Seven Scores: Michael J. Lewis - Unman, Wittering and Zigo

28 January 2009 2:10 AM, PST | From Daily Film Music Blog | See recent Daily Film Music Blog news

The term "Hitchcockian" is thrown around easily these days, reviews tend to use it for anything with a slight phsychological edge or if there is a twist at the end. What they forget is that a "Hitchcockian"film is consisted of much more, so while having a twist isn't harmful, there's a lot more to be done for such a distinction. Unman, Wittering and Zigo is a movie that could easily claim to be Hitchcockian if there were people who actually saw it. It's quite an obscure little feature about a school teacher John Ebony (David Hemmings) who is convinced that his students want to kill him just like they did with their previous teacher. The kids are some of the creepiest scoundrels this side of Village of the Damned and we soon start to feel for Mr. Ebony - unfortunately his collagues are the exact opposite! Michael J. Lewis
