A Weekend of Horror Triskel Christchurch Box Office A WEEKEND OF HORROR Twisted Celluloid is a monthly film programme showcasing cult and horror movies at Triskel Christchurch Cinema. The event has been successfully running and growing in popularity for the last 18 months. So much so, that it has lead to the hosting of the inaugural Twisted Celluloid Film Festival from 21-24 February. This four day festival will have an exciting programme for horror fans featuring 15 exhilarating movies, and showcasing several Irish premieres. The festival opens with the Irish premiere of MANIAC, starring Elijah Wood as a psychotic serial killer. His part in the film has been lauded as a bold move from his Lord of the Rings legacy. Other Irish premieres on the programme include BELA KISS: PROLOGUE starring Kristina Klebe from Halloween and the alphabetical arsenal of destruction that is THE ABCS OF DEATH. The eagerly-anticipated THE LORDS OF SALEM, which is poised to hit the box office across the U.S. this Spring, will close the festival. The film, which is directed by cult filmmaker Rob Zombie, tells the story a 300 year old coven of witches posing as a rock band in an effort to invade Salem, Massachusetts. There will also be a MARIO BAVA RETROSPECTIVE and this tribute to the great Italian director will feature three of his films: Black Sunday, A Bay Of Blood and Lisa And The Devil, all uncensored and digitally remastered.

    Journal of Criminal Justice and Popular Culture How to Die in a Slasher Film: The Impact of Sexualization July, 2021, Vol. 21 (Issue 1): pp. 128 – 146 Wellman, Meitl, & Kinkade Copyright © 2021 Journal of Criminal Justice and Popular Culture All rights reserved. ISSN: 1070-8286 How to Die in a Slasher Film: The Impact of Sexualization, Strength, and Flaws on Characters’ Mortality Ashley Wellman Texas Christian University & Michele Bisaccia Meitl Texas Christian University & Patrick Kinkade Texas Christian University 128 Journal of Criminal Justice and Popular Culture How to Die in a Slasher Film: The Impact of Sexualization July, 2021, Vol. 21 (Issue 1): pp. 128 – 146 Wellman, Meitl, & Kinkade Abstract Popular culture has often referenced formulaic ways to predict a character’s fate in slasher films. The cliché rules have noted only virgins live, black characters die first, and drinking and drugs nearly guarantee your death, but to what extent do characters’ basic demographics and portrayal determine whether a character lives or dies? A content analysis of forty-eight of the most influential slasher films from the 1960s – 2010s was conducted to measure factors related to character mortality. From these films, gender, race, sexualization (measured via specific acts and total sexualization), strength, and flaws were coded for 504 non killer characters. Results indicate that the factors predicting death vary by gender. For male characters, those appearing weak in terms of physical strength or courage and those males who appeared morally flawed were more likely to die than males that were strong and morally sound. Predictors of death for female characters included strength and the presence of sexual behavior (including dress, flirtatious attitude, foreplay/sex, nudity, and total sexualization).

  • Un Secolo Di Cinema Firmato Bava – 2003
    UN SECOLO DI CINEMA FIRMATO BAVA di Renato Venturelli La leggenda dei Bava, al cinema, dura ormai da quasi un secolo. Di padre in figlio, di figlio in nipote, è già arrivata alla quarta generazione: prima Eugenio (Francesco) Bava, eccentrica figura di inventore e mago degli effetti speciali fin dagli anni della Belle Epoque poi Mario, geniale direttore della fotografia e regista, oggetto di culto in tutto il mondo; quindi Lamberto, che cominciò lavorando al fianco del padre negli anni Sessanta diventando poi autore cinematografico e televisivo. E adesso Roy, che ha iniziato da qualche anno la sua carriera. Tutto era cominciato all’inizio del Novecento, quando nonno Eugenio (1886-1966) ricevette il primo incarico da parte del cinema: la costruzione di un caminetto per un film Pathé. All’epoca, aveva appena compiuto vent’anni, essendo nato a Sanremo nel 1886, e secondo il figlio Mario era il prototipo dell’artista bohémien. «Cravatta e fiocco rivoluzionario, basco alla Raffaello) era un artista - disse in un famoso intervento del 1976- era pittore, scultore,fotografo, chimico, elettricista, medium, inventore; perse anni a studiare il moto perpetuo. Verso il 1908 per una succosa storia, purtroppo troppo lunga da raccontare, conobbe il cinema. Si “incimiciò”, dette un calcio al passato, e si gettò a capofitto nella Nuova Arte, diventando operatore: all’epoca non si diceva direttore della fotografia.. «E non si chiamava nemmeno Eugenio — aggiunge Lamberto— ma Francesco: è il nome scritto anche sulla sua tomba». Negli anni Dieci, il capostipite dei Bava lavorò nella sua città, fondando anche la “San Remo Film”, poi passò all’Ambrosio di Torino, quindi si stabilì a Roma, responsabile del Reparto Animazione e Trucchi dell’istituto Luce, escogitando trucchi ed effetti speciali fin quasi alla morte, avvenuta nel 1966,quando aveva ottant’anni.

  • HORROR FILMS Page 1 of 23
    HORROR FILMS Page 1 of 23 HORROR FILMS Horror Films are unsettling films designed to frighten and panic, cause dread and alarm, and to invoke our hidden worst fears, often in a terrifying, shocking finale, while captivating and entertaining us at the same time in a cathartic experience. Horror films effectively center on the dark side of life, the forbidden, and strange and alarming events. They deal with our most primal nature and its fears: our nightmares, our vulnerability, our alienation, our revulsions, our terror of the unknown, our fear of death and dismemberment, loss of identity, or fear of sexuality. Horror films go back as far as the onset of films themselves, over a 100 years ago. From our earliest days, we use our vivid imaginations to see ghosts in shadowy shapes, to be emotionally connected to the unknown and to fear things that are improbable. Watching a horror film gives an opening into that scary world, into an outlet for the essence of fear itself, without actually being in danger. Weird as it sounds, there's a very real thrill and fun factor in being scared or watching disturbing, horrific images. Whatever dark, primitive, and revolting traits that simultaneously attract and repel us are featured in the horror genre. Horror films are often combined with science fiction when the menace or monster is related to a corruption of technology, or when Earth is threatened by aliens. The fantasy and supernatural film genres are not synonymous with the horror genre, although thriller films may have some relation when they focus on the revolting and horrible acts of the killer/madman.

  • Torso-Notes.Pdf
    1 Notes on I corpi presentano tracce di violenza carnale (released in English as Torso), 1973, directed by Sergio Martino. Iago Faustus [email protected] Recording date: 25 August 2019 Giallo and Torso. This hard-to-define collection of movies gets is name originally from paperback mystery novels that the Milanese publisher Mondadori began putting out in 1929. They were often translations of murder mysteries by English-language authors like Agatha Christie, S.S. Van Dine (the creator of Philo Vance), Edgar Wallace (a very prolific crime and adventure writer who among other things created the character of King Kong) and Earl Derr Biggers (the creator of Charlie Chan). These cheap editions, often sold in railway stations as a means of distracting travelers on long journeys, had yellow (giallo) covers, hence the genre name. The classic giallo is thus a mystery, but one into which unusual lurid elements from Italian exploitation sensibilities have been intermixed. Ernesto Gastaldi, the writer of this week's movie and frequent collaborator with its director, began an answer to the question like this: A giallo is not a detective story, it is not a thriller, it is not a suspense movie, not a horror film. But it can be any one of these things and also all of these things all rolled into one. What sets a giallo apart from another story? Two things: a difficult to explain event and its rigorously logical explanation based on the evidence and details provided in that 2 story. The event is almost always a murder. (Hovarth 2015, p.

  • Si Les Gants Noirs Portaient Des Pancartes... Le Giallo Face À La Politique
    Belphégor Adrien Clerc Si les gants noirs portaient des pancartes... Le giallo face à la politique En juin 2009 Dario Argento a présenté au festival du film d’Édimbourg son nouveau film dont le titre, Giallo, faisait depuis de longs mois fantasmer ses admirateurs, qui spéculaient sur la nature du retour du réalisateur italien à ses premières amours. L’accueil, partagé, fut à la mesure de la volonté de l’auteur de revenir sur le passé proche de tout un pan du cinéma italien pour en offrir une dernière reprise. Le terme giallo a en effet une histoire importante, renvoyant à la fois à un genre littéraire et à son pendant cinématographique. Il provient d’une collection de romans policiers bon marché éditée par Mondadori, aux couvertures d’un jaune vif (giallo) contrastant avec l’encre noire des titres. Les auteurs majeurs des premiers titres étaient Edgar Wallace et Agatha Christie, dont les whodunit furent le modèle pour une foule de romans s’ingéniant à reproduire des intrigues complexes tournant autour de scènes de meurtres inexpliqués et de la figure du tueur mystérieux, dont il s’agit de découvrir l’identité avant que le narrateur-enquêteur ne le fasse. Le passage au cinéma du genre transforme le récit-type du giallo, introduisant des éléments visuels et thématiques directement issus de l’époque de création, du contexte de production (films à petits budget) et d’un jeu avec la censure encore fortement présente (la surenchère, en érotisme et en violence, en est une résultante directe). Entre 1969 et 1974, durant l’âge d’or du giallo au cinéma, plus d’une centaine de films sortent sur les écrans italiens (Needham 1), suivant de prés le raz-de-marée du western spaghetti des années précédentes.
