Some greatness, some fillerBy HkgZOBIrZ Evan J. PetersonWhat's most impressive about this collection is the number of F4nN7jP5E stories written by people involved in the production of the Hellraiser films: 32toKHZwl Peter Atkins (screenwriter), Barbie Wilde and Nicholas Vince (actors who uivgt81p2 played Cenobites), etc. There are also stories by horror director Mick Garris DHYZpunlT and genre titans Neil Gaiman and Steve Niles. However, the quality of stories is UC8J7QCTC hit-or-miss.Like many anthologies loosely based on a pre-existing mythos, this rOj2TkZuD one is a mix of strong stories, crappy stories, and decent horror that probably lptxPU3FG isn't about the Hellraiser universe but managed to be close enough to fit the CVUv4YfeJ term "inspired by." Favorite stories include Barbie Wilde's "Sister Cilice," the 8uC2GS2vv origin of the so-called "Female Cenobite" written by the actress herself who je4izLbfM played her in part 2. I also thoroughly enjoyed Sarah Langan's "The Dark Ru6CZzLAx Materials Project" and Mark Morris's "Mother's Ruin." I won't knock the lesser- tVrmKC3SS known writers, but I will knock Richard Christian Matheson's flash fiction piece ON07mFR82 "Bulimia," which doesn't seem like a Hellraiser related piece at all. But I suppose having RCM in the book raises sales.

  • Xavier Aldana Reyes, 'The Cultural Capital of the Gothic Horror
    1 Originally published in/as: Xavier Aldana Reyes, ‘The Cultural Capital of the Gothic Horror Adaptation: The Case of Dario Argento’s The Phantom of the Opera and Dracula 3D’, Journal of Italian Cinema and Media Studies, 5.2 (2017), 229–44. DOI link: 10.1386/jicms.5.2.229_1 Title: ‘The Cultural Capital of the Gothic Horror Adaptation: The Case of Dario Argento’s The Phantom of the Opera and Dracula 3D’ Author: Xavier Aldana Reyes Affiliation: Manchester Metropolitan University Abstract: Dario Argento is the best-known living Italian horror director, but despite this his career is perceived to be at an all-time low. I propose that the nadir of Argento’s filmography coincides, in part, with his embrace of the gothic adaptation and that at least two of his late films, The Phantom of the Opera (1998) and Dracula 3D (2012), are born out of the tensions between his desire to achieve auteur status by choosing respectable and literary sources as his primary material and the bloody and excessive nature of the product that he has come to be known for. My contention is that to understand the role that these films play within the director’s oeuvre, as well as their negative reception among critics, it is crucial to consider how they negotiate the dichotomy between the positive critical discourse currently surrounding gothic cinema and the negative one applied to visceral horror. Keywords: Dario Argento, Gothic, adaptation, horror, cultural capital, auteurism, Dracula, Phantom of the Opera Dario Argento is, arguably, the best-known living Italian horror director.

  • POST-BRITISH CRIME FILMS and the ETHICS of RETRIBUTIVE VIOLENCE Mark Schmitt (TU Dortmund University)
    CINEMA 11 152 “THEY’RE BAD PEOPLE – THEY SHOULD SUFFER”: POST-BRITISH CRIME FILMS AND THE ETHICS OF RETRIBUTIVE VIOLENCE Mark Schmitt (TU Dortmund University) In recent years, British popular genre cinema has displayed a tendency to allegorise the ethical ques- tions resulting from the nation’s social and political challenges of the 21st century.1 Whether it is the Blair government’s decision to join the US in the Iraq war in 2003 and the ensuing disillusionment with democracy and the futility of public protest, the austerity measures and subsequently increasing social divisions in the wake of the global financial crisis of 2008, the ongoing process of Scottish and Welsh devolution that challenges the very notion of a United Kingdom, Britain finds itself in a stage that Michael Gardiner has described as “post-British.”2 On the level of the nation-state, and especially with regard to Scottish and Welsh devolution, the post-British process can be identified as the “demo- cratic restructuring of each nation within union and each nation still affected by Anglophone imperial- ism”3, while the social structure of Britain is still marked by the internal fault lines of class divisions of class. The notion of “post-Britain” has been addressed in British film studies. William Brown has sug- gested that Britain’s cinematic output in the 21st century offers a “paradoxically post-British” perspec- tive which is reflected in subject matter, ideological points of view and modes of production.4 As Brown argues, such post-British perspectives can particularly be found in popular genre films such as 28 Days Later (2002) and V for Vendetta (2006).5 In the following, I will argue that this post-British sensibility in contemporary national genre cinema is aligned with urgent ethical questions regarding the nation state on both the British level as well as within a larger European context.

  • 1. Long Time Dead
    1. LONG TIME DEAD In 2002, the filmmaker Richard Stanley sounded the death knell of ‘the great British horror movie’. His ‘obituary’, which appeared in Steve Chibnall and Julian Petley’s edited volume British Horror Cinema, lamented the general absence of any real directorial talent at the turn of the millennium, noting that the horror film directors ‘who really knew what they were doing escaped to Hollywood a long time ago’ (Stanley 2002: 194). Stanley cited the direct-to- video occult horror The 13th Sign (Jonty Acton and Adam Mason, 2000) as offering a glimmer of hope, but concluded that it was ‘still a long way below the minimum standard of even the most vilified 1980s product’ (2002: 193). Stanley’s pessimism was not unfounded (even if his assessment of The 13th Sign was perhaps a bit unfair). Hammer Films – the once-prolific film studio responsible for the first full-colour horror film, The Curse of Frankenstein (Terence Fisher), in 1957, and a host of other classic British horrors over the next two decades – buckled under market pressure and ceased making feature films in 1979. The 1980s, therefore, saw the production of only a handful of British horror films, which, at any rate, were mostly thought of as American productions that had peripheral British involvement, such as Stanley Kubrick’s blockbuster The Shining (1980) and Clive Barker’s franchise- initiating Hellraiser (1987). Others from the decade were artsy one-offs, such as the Gothic fairy tale The Company of Wolves (Neil Jordan, 1984), or (as was most often the case) amateurish flops, such as the cheap and clumsy monster movie Rawhead Rex (George Pavlou, 1986).

  • GSC Films: S-Z
    GSC Films: S-Z Saboteur 1942 Alfred Hitchcock 3.0 Robert Cummings, Patricia Lane as not so charismatic love interest, Otto Kruger as rather dull villain (although something of prefigure of James Mason’s very suave villain in ‘NNW’), Norman Lloyd who makes impression as rather melancholy saboteur, especially when he is hanging by his sleeve in Statue of Liberty sequence. One of lesser Hitchcock products, done on loan out from Selznick for Universal. Suffers from lackluster cast (Cummings does not have acting weight to make us care for his character or to make us believe that he is going to all that trouble to find the real saboteur), and an often inconsistent story line that provides opportunity for interesting set pieces – the circus freaks, the high society fund-raising dance; and of course the final famous Statue of Liberty sequence (vertigo impression with the two characters perched high on the finger of the statue, the suspense generated by the slow tearing of the sleeve seam, and the scary fall when the sleeve tears off – Lloyd rotating slowly and screaming as he recedes from Cummings’ view). Many scenes are obviously done on the cheap – anything with the trucks, the home of Kruger, riding a taxi through New York. Some of the scenes are very flat – the kindly blind hermit (riff on the hermit in ‘Frankenstein?’), Kruger’s affection for his grandchild around the swimming pool in his Highway 395 ranch home, the meeting with the bad guys in the Soda City scene next to Hoover Dam. The encounter with the circus freaks (Siamese twins who don’t get along, the bearded lady whose beard is in curlers, the militaristic midget who wants to turn the couple in, etc.) is amusing and piquant (perhaps the scene was written by Dorothy Parker?), but it doesn’t seem to relate to anything.

  • Film Reviews
    Page 78 FILM REVIEWS Kill List (Dir. Ben Wheatley) UK 2011 Optimum Releasing Note: This review contains extensive spoilers Kill List is the best British horror film since The Descent (Dir. Neil Marshall, 2005). Mind you, you wouldn’t know that from the opening half­hour or so. Although it opens with an eerie scratching noise and the sight of a cryptic rune that can’t help but evoke the unnerving stick figure from The Blair Witch Project (Dir. Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez, 1999), we’re then plunged straight into a series of compellingly naturalistic scenes of domestic discord which, as several other reviews have rightly pointed out, evoke nothing so much as the films of Mike Leigh. (The fact that much of the film’s dialogue is supplied by the cast also adds to this feeling.) But what Leigh’s work doesn’t have is the sense of claustrophobic dread that simmers in the background throughout Wheatley’s film (his second, after 2009’s Down Terrace ). Nor have any of them – to date at least – had an ending as devastating and intriguing as this. Yet the preliminary scenes in Kill List are in no sense meant to misdirect, or wrong­foot the audience: rather, they’re absolutely pivotal to the narrative as a whole, even if many of the questions it raises remain tantalisingly unresolved. Jay (Neil Maskell) and his wife Shel (MyAnna Buring) live in a spacious, well­appointed suburban home (complete with jacuzzi) and have a sweet little boy, but theirs is clearly a marriage on the rocks, and even the most seemingly innocuous exchange between them is charged with hostility and mutual misunderstanding.
