    Page 117 FILM REVIEWS Year of the Remake: The Omen 666 and The Wicker Man Jenny McDonnell The current trend for remakes of 1970s horror movies continued throughout 2006, with the release on 6 June of John Moore’s The Omen 666 (a scene­for­scene reconstruction of Richard Donner’s 1976 The Omen) and the release on 1 September of Neil LaBute’s The Wicker Man (a re­imagining of Robin Hardy’s 1973 film of the same name). In addition, audiences were treated to remakes of The Hills Have Eyes, Black Christmas (due Christmas 2006) and When a Stranger Calls (a film that had previously been ‘remade’ as the opening sequence of Scream). Finally, there was Pulse, a remake of the Japanese film Kairo, and another addition to the body of remakes of non­English language horror films such as The Ring, The Grudge and Dark Water. Unsurprisingly, this slew of remakes has raised eyebrows and questions alike about Hollywood’s apparent inability to produce innovative material. As the remakes have mounted in recent years, from Planet of the Apes to King Kong, the cries have grown ever louder: Hollywood, it would appear, has run out of fresh ideas and has contributed to its ever­growing bank balance by quarrying the classics. Amid these accusations of Hollywood’s imaginative and moral bankruptcy to commercial ends in tampering with the films on which generations of cinephiles have been reared, it can prove difficult to keep a level head when viewing films like The Omen 666 and The Wicker Man.

  • THE RIGHTS and WRONGS of the PSYCHOPATH in CRIMINAL LAW: HOW MODERN SCIENCE MUST RESHAPE OLD POLICY. © Jasmine Nicolson* INTROD
    THE RIGHTS AND WRONGS OF THE PSYCHOPATH IN CRIMINAL LAW: HOW MODERN SCIENCE MUST RESHAPE OLD POLICY. © Jasmine Nicolson* INTRODUCTION Psychopaths have long been enshrined in both popular culture and in law as the face of evil and danger;1 their classic characteristics of callousness, impulsivity, and remorselessness have helped to cement the conceptual link between psychopathy and violent crime.2 Psychiatrists from the 19th century, with all the equipment they had available at the time, made sweeping generalisations about the nature of the disorder. Pinel described patients who appeared without delusions or psychosis, as mentally unimpaired but engaged in impulsive acts of ‘instincte fureur’.3 Prichard built upon this definition to develop the concept of ‘moral insanity’. This term has evolved since its original intent – coming from the original French, ‘moral’ was taken to mean ‘emotional’ rather than ethical – and so the original ‘moral insanity’ was a ‘madness’ of emotional disposition and social ability, but without hallucinations or delusions.4 The concept has since evolved to include a lack of comprehension and appreciation of ethics and morality,5 but ultimately the M’Naghten rules in 1842 forged the legal defence of insanity, which required a clear presence of delusion, rather than a mere lack of morality.6 Both jurisdictions of England and Scotland have since built upon this to include an inability to 1 Cary Federman, Dave Holmes, and Jean Daniel Jacob, "Deconstructing the Psychopath: A Critical Discursive Analysis," Cultural Critique 72, no. 1 (2009). 2 Eric Silver, Edward P.

  • Amicus Est Une Production Cinématographique Britannique Basée À Shepperton Studios En Angleterre
    Amicus est une production cinématographique britannique basée à Shepperton Studios en Angleterre. Elle a été fondée par le producteur et scénariste américain Milton Subotsky et Max Rosenberg . Amicus est mieux connu pour ces films d’horreurs d’anthologies, bien que leurs deux premiers films étaient des comédies musicales pour le marché des adolescents : C'est Trad, papa! (1962) et Just for Fun (1963). Toutefois, avant la création d'Amicus les deux producteurs avaient collaborés à un film d’horreur de 1960 La Cité des morts. Ces films sont généralement dotés de quatre, parfois cinq histoires d'horreur reliées les unes aux autres par une intrigue globale avec un narrateur et ceux qui écoutent son histoire. Ces films sont invariablement interprétés par des acteurs de renom, chacun d'entre eux jouant de petits rôles dans les différentes histoires. Ainsi on retrouve des stars tels que Peter Cushing , Christopher Lee et Herbert Lom , Amicus fait également appel à des acteurs de la scène britannique classique ( Patrick Magee , Margaret 1 Leighton et même Sir Ralph Richardson ), mais aussi à ( Donald Sutherland , Robert Powell et Tom Baker ), ou d'anciennes gloires comme ( Richard Greene , Robert Hutton , et Terry Thomas ). Certaines, comme Joan Collins , connaissaient une perte de vitesse dans leur carrière quand ils ont signé avec Amicus. Torture Garden et The House That Dripped Blood ont été écrits par Robert Bloch , basé sur ses propres histoires. The Skull était auparavant également basé sur une histoire de Robert Bloch (scénarisé par Milton Subotsky), et Robert Bloch était aussi le scénariste du Psychopathe et l'adaptateur de The Bees Deadly.

In so doing, this thesis aims to demystify not only the complex intersections between American history and literature, but also the nation’s ambivalent relationship with psychiatry and its fascination with psychological explanations for deviance and evil.
