Cinophile: Warlock

By James
September 9, 2013
in :  Entertainment
12

In the convoluted world of magical practitioners, it is often assumed that men are wizards and women are witches. The Harry Potter series went a bit of the way to fix this glib generalisation, showing that anyone can be a wizard, regardless of gender. But if we had our say, we’d not go for something as pedestrian as a wizard, …

Cinophile: Versus

Versus was a make-or-break film. The title apparently refers to the director’s struggles in the movie industry, but it is equally apt at explaining what this film is about. You have the good guy, the damsel in distress, and the bad guy along with his minions. Bad guys want to kill good guy and get the girl. Good guy kills …

How do you explain a movie without giving away the catch, but still indulge in all kinds of witty wordplay? You don’t write about Angel Heart. Yet here we are, so this will be a dull as paint write-up. Because you really shouldn’t know much of anything before seeing this brilliant horror. Last Updated: August 26, 2013

Friday Fright Club: Cabin Fever

Even before James Wan showered us with gore in Saw, there was someone else on the scene that enjoyed nothing more than to drive up the sale of pants by horrifying the hell out of his audience. That man is none other than Eli “The Bear Jew” Roth, part of the much-feared Splat Pack. Last Updated: August 23, 2013

Second opinion Review: Evil Dead – A spiritually accurate remake, that loses its bite in a more jaded world

By James
August 15, 2013
in :  Reviews
3

Today The Evil Dead is overshadowed by its two comedic sequels, often leading many to forget that the original film was not a giddy horror. There were no one-liners, laughing wall ornaments or possessed hands. Instead, it was a film so brutal and gory that today it still stands as one of the watershed moments in the genre. So, naturally, …

We review Evil Dead – Brutal horror that gets under the skin… but may not please fans

By Noelle Adams

I have a confession to make… and this may require that I turn in my “film geek” badge. I don’t like Sam Raimi’s original Evil Dead trilogy. I’m just not a fan of cartoonish slapstick in my horror films, which is pretty much the defining feature, along with Bruce Campbell’s just-go-with-it performance, that made the old series a cult hit. …

Four new movies open in South Africa today, and the question is whether locals will continue to flock to tried and tested sequel faves like Despicable Me 2 and The Wolverine, or become enamored with the geek-bait that is my movie pick of the week. And that is… Last Updated: August 2, 2013
