To understand the world, we have to look towards the youth. For whatever reason, those who exist in the prime demographic of early to middle adulthood are handed more power than those a generation or two ahead of them, since we live in a society dictated by the idealism of youth. It’s a frustrating concept,…

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (2026)
As John Waters once famously said, “life is nothing if you’re not obsessed”, which may sound like just another witty quip from the famously quotable iconoclast, but in reality speaks to something much deeper and more profound when it comes to the global culture. Obsession is the single most important element of any kind of…
Faces of Death (2026)
We are experiencing something of an artistic plague, in what we can refer to as the crisis of the reboots, remakes and revivals – it seems like just about every cherished work of art, particularly those that have even a modicum of popularity and financial success, are returning to the zeitgeist, not through rediscovery of…
They Have Changed Their Face (1971)
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. However, instead of venturing into the usual stores that I would frequent, I found myself walking through one of those mysterious black doors used only by employees….
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…
Criminally Insane (1975)
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…
