#RemyReviews 🩸 #Halloween #horror 'Versus' (2000) "zombies, gangsters, samurai, huge guns ... mythic #fantasy, time-spanning romance, visceral action & surprise #SciFi plus a good-looking young cast & audacious debuting director" my #movie #review @framerated.co.uk medium.com/framerated/v...

four film stills: a close up of a man with a feral eye glancing over the blade of a raised samurai sword; three smartly dressed yakuza aim their pistols at an off-screen target; a close up of a man and woman who has red spatter on her face, matching her lipstick; a samurai looking intense and a woman in period clothing.

‘Seated Voltaire’ (detail, c.1779) sculptural portrait in plaster by Jean-Antoine Houdon that captures the benign character of Voltaire the philosopher in his gentle, knowing smile...

#RemyReviews 'The Screaming Skull' (1958) Alex Nicol's #horror B-movie mystery comes to #Bluray with perfect timing for #Halloween "...a pleasing little mystery thriller, with overt #Gothic stylings that work to varying degrees" my #movie #review @framerated.co.uk 💀 medium.com/framerated/t...

four black and white film stills: a skull among ashes; Peggy Webber as Jenni and John Hudson as Eric by candlelight; and again, in daylight alighting from their Mercedes-Benz 300 SL ‘Gullwing’ coupé; Alex Nicol as Mickey holding a daffodil and looking affectionately at a carved portrait of a woman on a memorial stone.

#RemyReviews 'Visitor Q' (2001) 🪨 "...truly unique film, crackling with creative energy & the darkest humour imaginable," Takashi Miike’s 'erotic' #horror satire still shocks 25 years later @filmsradiance.bsky.social new #Bluray my #movie #review @framerated.co.uk 🎞️ Ⓠ medium.com/framerated/v...

four film stills: Kenichi Endō as Kiyoshi Yamazaki, his head bandaged, holds a Handycam; Fujiko as Miki, wearing feminine lilac floral underwear, holds a compact digicam; Kazushi Watanabe looks directly into camera; Shungicu Uchida as Keiko Yamazaki also looks into camera.

Still the greatest Halloween costume in Catholic history (i.e.: Nun Zoë Lund, but Naked Harvey Keitel is a close second). Check out Part 1 of my dive into the films of NYC’s mad son #AbelFerrara below. #FilmEssays #Film #Cinema #Criterion #Ms45 #FilmSky

#RemyReviews 'Rawhead Rex' (1986) turns 40 just in time for #Halloween🎃 a monstrous pagan god makes its comeback - "nowhere near as transgressive as Clive Barker's short story but with a gory, exuberant B-Movie aesthetic." my #horror #movie #review @framerated.co.uk 🪨 medium.com/framerated/r...

three film stills: a man in a dark suit looks at an old drawing of a monster; a 'mad priest' points at something off-camera with a glowing-eyed drooling beast behind him; a woman in a cemetery surrounded by crackling blue energy and a glowing projection of herself hovering around her.

anyone not watching 'The East Palace' in the run-up to #Halloween💀 is dong themselves a disservice, especially those who enjoy period K-drama & Asian #horror - great production values, immersive intrigue & excellent visualisation of the dark ghost realm 👻 🏯 youtu.be/wBUkNE1l9DU?... #fantasy

After almost 22 years, I will be parting company with the BBC. It’s been a tough decision, but it’s clearly time to move on…

#RemyReviews Narciso Ibáñez Serrador's 'La Residencia' (1969) aka 'The House That Screamed' my #Halloween👻 spooky #review countdown "...may be the most important #horror movie to come out of Spain & certainly one of the most influential..." @framerated.co.uk 🕯️ medium.com/framerated/t...

four film stills: a young woman in a nightgown descends a grand gothic staircase; another young woman holds a candlestick with three burring candles, her hair is rain-damp; two young women talk inf ront of a mirror; a woman stand in front of a blackboard and a taxidermy display of birds.

It has been drizzling all morning, but now the sun has come out. Warm, golden light shimmers through the tree canopy, catching on raindrops gathered along oak leaves and moss... 🍂 medium.com/calm-of-the-...
