One of the great artists of his generation that as inexplicably faded into relative obscurity is Corrado Farina, who made valuable contributions in every conceivable medium, but has yet to be given the respect and acclaim he deserves. As a filmmaker, he was primarily known for his documentaries, but there are a pair of fantastic…

Hokum (2026)
The idea of leaving your home and seeking refuge elsewhere, whether temporarily or for a longer stretch of time, is meant to offer reprieve from reality, a chance to escape and see another part of the world. Yet, many of us have experienced trips that are anything other than luxurious, which usually come when there…
Invisible Ghost (1941)
One of the great injustices of the genre hierarchy that was so prominent during the Golden Age of Hollywood was that the supposed prestige films, such as westerns and melodramas, were promoted as being the most integral to every studio, whereas those shafted to the category of B-movie were seen as lesser achievements, and only…
Obsession (2026)
Nothing is quite as disheartening as the moment we realise magic is not real. We spend a large part of our childhood wholeheartedly believing that the world around us is populated by enchanted beings and mythical occurrences, which makes life seem much more whimsical than it actually ends up being in reality, proving that logic…
Backrooms (2026)
Throughout my childhood, I was plagued by a recurring nightmare in which I found myself in the local shopping centre, where I spent many weekends of my life.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992)
If a stranger approached you and requested that you follow him to a cemetery to discover your supposed birthright, just about any level-headed individual would reject such an offer and choose to prioritise their safety in such a clearly dangerous situation. However, this is not the case for Buffy Summers, who sets aside her hesitations…

Why do we engage with art? The obvious answer exists somewhere between wanting to be entertained and craving to be enlightened about something much deeper about the human condition. We all experience the world in different ways, and it is the artist’s job to attempt to condense that into a single artwork, aimed at as…
The Shout (1978)
There are many qualities about the work of Jerzy Skolimowski that capture our attention, but none of them is as notable as the fact that he seems impossible to pin down to a particular style, and over the course of a career that has lasted over half a century, he has seemingly evaded making the…
Undertone (2026)
There are many ways to look at horror and why it is arguably one of the most successful genres when it comes to fiction, regardless of the medium you are looking at it through. Whether a visual medium like film or television, or in the written form, there have been some incredibly influential works constructed…
Cold Storage (2026)
The nature of cinema (or any artistic medium) is that it is divided into periods, and in each of these, certain genres and movements wax and wane, peaking in popularity and then declining. It’s the way the industry works, especially since they base their work on audience expectations and desires. As a result, certain genres…
