The FILM TO SEE in 2013 || STOKER
Immersive. Transformative. Literature.
My favorite description of the mass-murder classic horror film, The Wizard of Oz:
“Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first person she meets and then teams up with three complete strangers to kill again.”
Rewatching The Stepford Wives (1975). This film is still so creepy, I mean, Katherine Ross is wearing white after Labor Day. And I don’t even know what that means? I can’t look…
My all time favourite Clint Eastwood comedy, Play Misty for Me:
Evelyn: Don’t you like me?
Dave: You’re a nice girl.
Evelyn: But who needs nice girls?
Dave: I’m kind of hung up on one.
Evelyn: And you don’t want to complicate yourself.
Dave: That’s exactly right.
Evelyn: Well neither do I, but that’s no reason we shouldn’t sleep together tonight if we feel like it.

Still confused, perplexed, disturbed, baffled, and most importantly, annoyed by Ridley Scott’s Prometheus? Well, this artwork should clear up any lingering confusion! Ok, maybe that’s an overstatement. I need to rethink this. If only Ridley could do the same?!
Another Polanski psychological horror masterpiece, REPULSION.
I love me a little sci-fi/horror now and again. Throw in complex ideas around birth, death and the anarchic (m)other, and you’ll find me in a state of visual/visceral bliss. Which film has all these elements in spades: ALIEN.
“The symbolic function of woman’s menstrual blood is of crucial importance in Carrie (Brian De Palma, 1976). Blood takes various forms in the film: menstrual blood, pig’s blood, birth blood, the blood of sin and the blood of death. It is also blood which flows between mother and daughter and joins them together in their life-and-death struggle…. What is perhaps most significant about Carrie’s telekinetic powers is that she acquires them at the same time as her blood flows, the time of her menarche.” - Barbara Creed, The Monstrous-Feminine
