Is there any person in the world more afraid of greasers than Stephen King? Grease must be a horror movie to his ass. Danny Zuko must scare the fuck out of him. The Fonz must send him into hiding. Again and again he has used greasers to terrorize his characters.

Pardon me, I’m doing promotion for my recent short film, AFTER THE FALL, which was released today. Initially I was going to shoot the film myself on an iPhone, for that insta-docu feel. But instead my friend Adams Wood, a brilliant documentarian, stepped in. Thank god. youtu.be/DdYWHdbI39Y?...

I thought this early French horror film was perfection. It is expertly directed by Georges Franju. The cinematography by Eugen Schüfftan is exceptional, especially the last few shots, which are dreamy and eerie in an almost Jean Cocteau way.
A ★★★★★ review of Eyes Without a Face (1960)
A young woman named Christiane is heavily disfigured in a car accident. Professor Génessier, her father, was the driver and is guilt ridden. His shame has caused him to lose his sense of ethics. In hi...
