Red White & Blue (2010)
Drama; thriller; horror. Simon Rumley’s challenging and disturbing Red White & Blue morphs slowly from one genre to another, building intimacy and empathy towards its characters as it crescends towards its terrifying denouement. The script, simultaneously compassionate and threatening, thrives

Amer (2009)
One film genre that I have never cared for is giallo. I’ve watched four films by the master of the genre, Dario Argento: The Bird with the Crystal Plumage (1970), Deep Red (1975), Suspiria (1977) and Tenebre (1982) and I disliked

Jacob’s Ladder (1990)
Somehow, for me, Jacob’s Ladder has always gone hand-in-hand with Angel Heart (1987). Maybe director Adrian Lyne and writer Bruce Joel Rubin were heavily influenced by Alan Parker’s masterpiece? It would not surprise me at all. No matter, Jacob’s Ladder can stand tall all by itself

Thirst (2009)
We love South Korean cinema and we love director Park Chan-wook. Park is well-known for “The Vengeance Trilogy”, i.e. the brilliant Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (2002), the wonderful Oldboy (2003) and the average Sympathy for Lady Vengeance (2005). J.S.A.: Joint Security Area (2000)

Frankenweenie (2012)
Tim Burton’s delightful Frankenweenie is a harmless comedy horror starring one of the most adorable dogs to grace celluloid. The film is packed with excellent characters, voiced by an excellent cast. This stop motion animation is yet another fine Burton

Let the Right One In (2008)
Tomas Alfredson’s amazing Swedish film cannot be pigeonholed into a single genre. It is not horror nor fantasy, although the film contains elements of both. Most of all, this is a dramatic and unconventional love story between two children. But

The Shining (1980)
Stanley Kubrick’s psychological horror masterpiece is hypnotic, eerie and truly frightening. This visually astounding film, which made abundant use of the then revolutionary Steadicam, stars a top-of-his-game Jack Nicholson in his most famous role. The Shining is full of ambiguities which on
