In a similar vein, Lesbian Vampire Killers


How is it possible to screw up a film that contains a shitload of lesbian vamps? This Brit horror/comedy is bloody awful with the script and acting especially notable for their crapness.

Shutter Island (2010)



I think today most of the high profile filmmakers doesn't give a try for this kinda vintage & gripping thriller anymore. So fans of the genre should be glad that Mr. Scorsese did it and saved this beautiful story from portraying in a flawed fashion.

The year's best so far.

The Lost (2006). This started out reeking of bad horror gone worse, but then something happened. This twisted affair was just askew enough to keep the viewer off kilter in order to entice interest. Good thing too, cuz this movie kept true to its discombobulating essence. Ray Pye was chillingly portrayed by Marc Senter, and this performance turned more and more powerful as Ray's world became less and less under his control. Somehow, a sense of raw, nascent evil emanates out of Ray that cannot be defined nor dismissed. Also discomforting was the hints at some sense of deja vu throughout the story. The acting was awesome, the direction strong. The soundtrack was perfect. The camera work and inventive use of differing films only added to the tension. And while the violence was intense it was never gratuitous. Overall this was an awesome entry to the sub-horror genre.

The Wild Bunch (1969). A mean film if there ever was one, this film almost uses it brutality of animals to depict the brutality that is man. Not that the men are themselves angelic here. The Wild Bunch are a band of men that are loathsome whilst loyal. And while banditry will never go out of style, our criminals here find themselves relics of a new age, and not getting any younger, they know it. The story itself portrays the "wildness" of the characters with aplomb. The direction was perfectly strong. With violence and imagery that was more than overbearing for its day, The Wild Bunch deserves to be in shelved in the 'classics' department. Ashe.

Self-sacrifice of aged machismo. Incredible film, and brilliantly cast.

Trouble Every Day (2001)

Another master work by auteur Claire Denis, and just like many of her films is completely entrancing. A story of individuals, the inability to communicate and love, and how that can affect us like a disease, one which can be overcome even if (or perhaps especially if) the change seems impossible (the disease, in this case, is illustrated in cannibalism, the reason this film has been so sadly derided). The film is structured in opposites, each character painted with polar attributes and allowed to suffer and love on their own.
It is a challenging film, and even to describe it only as I did above would be reductive. There is an astonishing style. Sex acts, given their ambiguous role, are framed in ambiguous close-ups; overlapping limbs and crevices and canvases of naked skin. The soundtrack is there, but doesn't intrude. And we are given performances of absolute abandon (especially from Béatrice Dalle, which is important considering her character).
Trouble Every Day is bold and violent, yet haunting and tender; a film that probes the grotesqueness of individual suffering, and does it bravely.
