Oh, the Horror: Atomic Monster Snags Bel Air Office Building

October 15, 2019 https://therealdeal.com/la/2019/10/15/oh-the-horror-atomic-monster-film-company-snags-bel-air-office- building/ Oh, the horror: Atomic Monster snags Bel Air office building The company — which has produced "The Conjuring 2" — paid $917 psf, among the priciest commercial deals in Bel Air By Pat Maio A film and television production company has acquired a distinctive clock tower office building in Bel Air, a modest deal that still represents the highest price-per-square-foot paid for a commercial property in the residential enclave. Atomic Monster Productions paid $5.4 million for the nearly 6,000-square-foot building at 600 N. Sepulveda Boulevard. Atomic Monster, founded by James Wan in 2014, produces horror and science fiction films, including “The Conjuring 2.” The 68-year-old complex, which had been vacant, sold for slightly under its $5.6 million asking, and was acquired as an investment, according to a company spokesperson. Jason Froelich of Douglas Elliman represented the buyer. The seller, Evolve Commercial I LLC — an arm of Evolve Treatment Centers — bought the property in late 2014 for $3.45 million. At $917 per square foot, the most recent sale was the highest per square foot deal in the Bel Air commercial market, eclipsing the $757 a foot sale that went to 662 N. Sepulveda a decade ago, according to Trevor Nelson of Newmontis Real Estate Investment Management. Nelson and Katherine Weaver of Pegasus Investments marketed the building, and announced the sale. Better known for its massive mansions, Bel Air is within the larger Westside office market, which remained steady in the third quarter, thanks to strong leasing activity, particularly from Netflix, according to a recent CBRE report. .

Insidious Chapter 2
In Memoriam 1942 – 2013 | ★ ★ ★ ★ ROGEREBERT.COM Choose a Section REVIEWS INSIDIOUS CHAPTER 2 ★ ★ | Simon Abrams September 13, 2013 | ☄ 13 "Insidious: Chapter 2" is a puzzle movie with too many unnecessary pieces and not enough essential ones, but it's superior to its predecessor in a few basic ways. The first sequel to James Wan's "Poltergeist" homage/ripoff features a couple of set pieces that Print Page are thoughtful enough to be scary. This goes a long way in a film where characters constantly explain why and how supernatural Like 21 happenings occur. And unlike its predecessor, this sequel doesn't overuse jump scares and loud noises. For better and worse, 0 screenwriter Leigh Whannell has brought the same klutzy ambition to the "Insidious" films that he did to the first three "Saw" movies (Whannell did not script "Saw"s 4-7, though he did co-write "Chapter Two"'s story with Wan). His ideas for "Insidious: Tweet 6 Chapter 2" are spectacularly misconceived, but they're also the main reason why the movie isn't that bad. "Insidious: Chapter 2" starts where the last film left off. The Lambert family is still haunted. The body of Josh Lambert (Patrick Wilson) is possessed by the spirit of a mysterious bride in black, and his wife Renai (Rose Byrne) doesn't know it—I mean, she should know it, after looking at a ghost-revealing photograph taken by Elise (Lin Shaye), a dead medium, but Renai is presumably not in her right mind after seeing this photo.Elise previously warned Renai that moving is pointless since her son is haunted, not the Lamberts' home, but Renai and not-Josh move back into Josh's childhood home anyway—which is also odd since Renai is told, both in the last film and "Chapter 2," that Josh was also haunted as a child.

Critical Essays on James Wan
H-Announce Critical Essays on James Wan Announcement published by Matthew Edwards on Tuesday, February 12, 2019 Type: Call for Papers Date: May 31, 2019 Location: United Kingdom Subject Fields: Film and Film History, Popular Culture Studies Critical Essays on James Wan Deadline for abstract submissions: May, 2019 Full name / name of organization: Matthew Edwards/ Independent Scholar Contact email: [email protected] Fernando Gabriel Pagnoni Berns/Universidad de Buenos Aires (Argentina). http://artes.filo.uba.ar/la-literatura-de-las-artes-combinadas-ii contact mail: [email protected] Critical Essays on James Wan Edited by Matthew Edwards and Fernando Gabriel Pagnoni Berns Critical essays are sought on the cinema of Malaysian/Australian director, screenwriter and producer James Wan. As 2018 marks Wan’s first incursion into superhero cinema with Aquaman, a film that reportedly is DC Films’ biggest worldwide grosser, critical attention on the director keeps intensifying. With huge critical and box office successes such as Saw (2004), a film that kickstarted a whole franchise, The Conjuring I and II (2013 and 2016), films that started a whole filmic universe, together with Death Sentence (2007), Insidious I and II (2010 and 2013), Furious 7 (2015) and Dead Silence (2007), it can be argued that we are facing a new Hollywood auteur with an identity of his own. Still, there is a striking lack of critical studies on the works of James Wan, even Citation: Matthew Edwards. Critical Essays on James Wan.

Fright—In All of Its Forms—Has Always Been an Essential Part of the Moviegoing Experience
SCARY MOVIES Fright—in all of its forms—has always been an essential part of the moviegoing experience. No wonder directors have figured out so many ways to horrify an audience.

The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Communications HORROR GLOBAL, HORROR LOCAL: A CROSS-CULTURAL ANALYSIS OF TORTURE PORN, J-HORROR, AND GIALLO AS CONTEMPORARY MANIFESTATIONS OF THE HORROR GENRE A Thesis in Media Studies by Lauren J. DeCarvalho © 2009 Lauren J. DeCarvalho Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts August 2009 ii The thesis of Lauren J. DeCarvalho was reviewed and approved* by the following: John S. Nichols Professor of Communications Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and Research Matthew F.

Hall Associate Professor of Film and Video *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii ABSTRACT The overbearing effects of Hollywood continue to blur the lines of distinction between national and global cinema, leaving scholars to wonder whether the latter type of cinema has since trumped the former. This thesis explores the depths of this perplexity by looking at the cultural differences in post-1990s horror films from three countries: the United States, Japan, and Italy. Scholarship on women in horror films continues to focus on the feminist sensitivities, without the slightest regard for possible cultural specificities, within the horror genre. This, in turn, often collapses the study of women in horror films into a transnational genre, thereby contributing to the perception of a dominant global cinema. Therefore, it is the aim of the author to look at three culturally-specific subgenres of the horror film to explore their differences and similarities.

“Madness” As the Driving Force Behind the Monstrous in the Insidious Film Series
Outskirts Vol. 35, 2016, 1-20 Female “madness” as the driving force behind the monstrous in the Insidious film series Maja Pandzic This article offers a feminist reading of the Insidious film series through identifying the links between the monstrous and the female characters in the narrative. In reading the monstrous as the product of the anxious heroine, I draw upon Barbara Creed’s understanding of the “abject” and classify it as that which strives to destabilize the system of traditional gender roles confining female protagonists. I also maintain that the home in the films is presented as the primary site of horror because it is in fact the location of heroines’ imprisonment; of their false attachment, as the home in our society is principally a place concealing patriarchal power relations. By drawing upon Jane Ussher’s research on disorders I underscore anxiety in women as a social construct and a reasonable response to their repressive lives in patriarchal society. The anxiety of female protagonists is the result both of being overburdened with domestic/maternal duties and their inability to attain self-fulfilment. I propose the reading of the monstrous in the films as the combination of two strategies of resistance Ussher claims are central to battling this socially constructed/contracted “madness”. Firstly, it represents the rejection of idealized femininity. Secondly, it is a product of engagement in creativity, through which the heroine voices her distress. By thoroughly analyzing the experiences of female characters—a mother of three (Renai), two single mothers (Lorraine, Michelle) and a teenage girl (Quinn)—I not only trace the emergence of the monstrous to the climax of their anxiety but show that the demons with whom they share numerous similarities, are in fact disrupting the traditional family, punishing or forcing male protagonists to accept a share of domestic and parental duties, and thus improving the status of female characters.

Selling the Splat Pack: the Dvd Revolution and the American Horror Film
SELLING THE SPLAT PACK: THE DVD REVOLUTION AND THE AMERICAN HORROR FILM Mark Bernard A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2010 Committee: Dr. Cynthia Baron, Advisor Dr. Scott A. Magelssen Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Paul McDonald Dr. Maisha Wester ii ABSTRACT Dr. Cynthia Baron, Advisor In 2006, journalists began writing about the emergence of a group of young filmmakers who specialized in horror films featuring torture and graphic violence. Because of their gory and bloody movies, these directors came to be known as “the Splat Pack,” and they were depicted by the press as subversive outsiders rebelling against the Hollywood machine. However, what many discussions of the Splat Pack ignore is how the success of this group of directors was brought about and enabled by the industrial structure of Hollywood at the middle of the first decade of the twenty-first century. Drawing from political economy methodology, this study seeks to understand and illuminate the industrial changes and realignments that gave rise to the Splat Pack, first by looking at how industrial changes have affected the content of horror films of the past, and secondly by examining how the advent of DVD technology made way for the gory, “Unrated” films of the Splat Pack. DVD played a major role in the rise of the Splat Pack by changing the way horror films were presented to their potential audiences and by leading to an industry acceptance of “Unrated” films. With this in mind, this study then turns to an analysis of several key films directed by the Splat Pack and uses the commodity form of the DVD as a lens through which to interpret these films.
