“I spent 8 years trying to reach a 6 year old child, and then another 7 trying to keep him locked up, because I realized what was living behind that boy’s eyes was purely and simply… Evil.”

Horror Fest 2024 Day 15: Halloween (1978)

It’s been a while since the last John Carpenter film that I’ve reviewed so I figured it was about time. All of the things I said about Christine apply to this one. The dialogue is particularly bad in this one but again, somehow John Carpenter makes it all work when blended together. The music, however, is fantastic. Of course the theme is iconic but the score throughout is also really good,…

50 Years Ago: "The Mutations" a.k.a. "Freakmaker"

September 25, 1974 was the release date of the horror film The Mutations a.k.a. Freakmaker. The Mutations is the farthest thing from a classic, even (arguably) a horror classic, but it has its selling points. It was directed by Jack Cardiff, best known as the cinematographer of films like Powell-Pressburger’s Black Narcissus (1947) and The Red Shoes (1948) and John Huston’s The African Queen…

The original 'The Outer Limits' – sixties SF TV on MGM+

Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We have control of your streaming app. We have provided you with access to The Outer Limits (1963-1964), the original incarnation of the TV science fiction anthology series. It wasn’t the first such program and it was always in the shadow of its more literate (and more popular) cousin The Twilight Zone, but the hour-long The Outer Limits made its mark on the…

Prince of Darkness

Quantum physics and religion collide in John Carpenter’s THE PRINCE OF DARKNESS (1987, Shudder, Amazon), and the results are rather beige. With its slow-build and ominous score, the film almost seems to be more a music video than a movie. It’s like a filmic cantata. But though there are a few good shots and wild images, it never achieves the full-blown visualization of which Derek Jarman, Guy Maddin, Terence Davies or Peter Greenaway were capable. Instead, the images are just sort of there as the film plods along. Nor does it carry excess to the level of camp. Donald Pleasance, as the priest who initiates the scientific and religious study of an artifact housing an elder god, has a lot of empty, portentous lines, but he doesn’t make them big enough to go over the top. And the first graduate student who becomes possessed by the evil spirits is such an inexpressive actress you can only tell she’s changed because she stops wearing glasses. The film has developed a cult following through video and DVD distribution, but it really hasn’t aged well. Some critics have pointed to a homosexual subtext that now feels exploitative and a bit tone deaf. The possession is spread by people’s vomiting green goo into each other’s mouths, which could be a metaphor for AIDS. And one male character (Dennis Dun) hides in a closet to escape the three female demons who want him and only survives by coming out of the closet. Also dating the film is the fact that before squirting green goo at his victims, the Anti-God can possess lower life forms — ants, beetles (who just want to hold your hand) and…wait for it…the homeless. The film was made at a time when government cutbacks were closing institutions and putting people with mental problems out on the streets, so it just adds insult to injury that the main homeless person, played by Alice Cooper, is billed as “Street Schizo.”
