I do think that Peter Capaldi is a fantastic choice for the new Doctor, especially if he uses the same language as he does in The Thick of It! Just got an early review disc in of the Blu-ray of Corruption, which is being released by Grindhouse USA in a region free edition. I have a bit of a vested interest in this one because I contributed liner notes and helped Grindhouse’s Bob Murawski find some of the interview subjects in the UK. It has taken some years to get this one in shops but the wait has been worthwhile because I can’t imagine how it could have been done better. I’ll be reviewing it at length in the next print issue, out in shops on October 24th. I really feel we’re on a roll with Dark Side at present. We printed more of our previous issue (155) than ever before, and registered our highest his issue of Dark Side Digital looks at the making of The Omen, ever UK sale with the Dracula AD 1972 issue (154). That proves to me a true horror classic that stands the test of time. Being a big that our studied coverage of retro material alongside carefully chosen Tfan of composer Jerry Goldsmith I was one of the first in line to modern day stuff is the right way to continue.

I actually prefer The Omen to The Exorcist because I James came to my attention through my good friend Calum Waddell, think that The Omen is the better crafted film. Sorry Mark. It certainly who is also one of my favourite writers. In the upcoming issue, Calum has better photography and music, and the fact that it is largely set has managed to grab us a real exclusive in the shape of a fascinating in England probably has some bearing for my greater appreciation interview with actress Me Me Lai, star of such exploitation movie of it too. The sequels were disappointing of course, though they do classics as Au Pair Girls, Eaten Alive and Last Cannibal World. As far have their moments, and as for the recent Omen remake, well that was as I know, the reclusive Me Me has never been interviewed by a film totally pointless. The generally enjoyable Final Destination movies are mag before, and Calum really gets her to open up about her extensive basically variations on The Omen theme anyway. career. The only shame with Calum is he’s not a convert to 60s British Our striking cover art this issue comes from the hugely talented horrors - he freely admits that he finds most of the Hammer stuff Peter Wallbank, who is a massive Omen fan.

  • From Sexploitation to Canuxploitation (Representations of Gender in the Canadian ‘Slasher’ Film)
    Maple Syrup Gore: From Sexploitation to Canuxploitation (Representations of Gender in the Canadian ‘Slasher’ Film) by Agnieszka Mlynarz A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Theatre Studies Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Agnieszka Mlynarz, April, 2017 ABSTRACT Maple Syrup Gore: From Sexploitation to Canuxploitation (Representations of Gender in the Canadian ‘Slasher’ Film) Agnieszka Mlynarz Advisor: University of Guelph, 2017 Professor Alan Filewod This thesis is an investigation of five Canadian genre films with female leads from the Tax Shelter era: The Pyx, Cannibal Girls, Black Christmas, Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS, and Death Weekend. It considers the complex space women occupy in the horror genre and explores if there are stylistic cultural differences in how gender is represented in Canadian horror. In examining variations in Canadian horror from other popular trends in horror cinema the thesis questions how normality is presented and wishes to differentiate Canuxploitation by defining who the threat is. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Paul Salmon and Dr. Alan Filewod. Alan, your understanding, support and above all trust in my offbeat work ethic and creative impulses has been invaluable to me over the years. Thank you. To my parents, who never once have discouraged any of my decisions surrounding my love of theatre and film, always helping me find my way back despite the tears and deep- seated fears. To the team at Black Fawn Distribution: Chad Archibald, CF Benner, Chris Giroux, and Gabriel Carrer who brought me back into the fold with open arms, hearts, and a cold beer.

Wyman University of Missouri - Kansas City, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf Recommended Citation Wyman, Kelly J. (2004) "The Devil We Already Know: Medieval Representations of a Powerless Satan in Modern American Cinema," Journal of Religion & Film: Vol. 8 : Iss. 3 , Article 7.

The Devil We Already Know: Medieval Representations of a Powerless Satan in Modern American Cinema Abstract The character of Satan has been explored repeatedly in American films, although neither film noreligion r scholars have extensively investigated the topic. This article examines the medieval Christian roots of Satan as seen in American cinema and proposes that the most identifiable difference between the medieval Devil and the Satan shown in American films is his level of power over humanity. Hollywood's Satans echo medieval depictions of Satan in form, appearance, and ways of interacting with humans. Although less frightening, pop culture's view of Satan - even when he is treated humorously - is thus linked through movies to medieval religious beliefs. This article is available in Journal of Religion & Film: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol8/iss3/7 Wyman: The Devil We Already Know Introduction From George Méliès' 1896 film La Manoir Du Diable (The Devil's Manor), to more recent productions such as Roman Polanski's Rosemary's Baby (1968) and The Ninth Gate (1999), diabolism has been a significant foundation for films which explore religious subject matter.

We got your monsters right here!By Fred AdelmanThis issue is a little bit different than all the others. The majority of the zine is dedicated to films that can be described as "Lovecraftian" (I hate that word, too, Tim) or otherwise films based on stories by H.P. Lovecraft. It also contains films that contain the Lovecraft touch (My favorite Lovecraft film is still THE RESURRECTED - 1991), including Part 1 of an extensive article (written by the always interesting Stephen R. Bissette) of the TV movie deemed too scary for TV and released theatrically, DARK INTRUDER (1965).This 125 page issue is not able to give all the Lovecraftian films their proper due, so the next issue will also deal with H.P. Lovecraft.There are also some non-Lovecraft delights also found in this issue, including Part 1 writer Daniel Best's extensive article on the Dracula stage tour in Australia in 1929, Part 2 of Christos Mouroukis' Monster Movie Marathon (which includes my favorite horror film of all time, PHANTASM - 1979), Dino-Monsters in Film Literature, book reviews and the always welcome Movie Checklist.

  • Film Reviews
    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.
