<span style="font-family: Georgia; mso-ansi-language: #241A;"><span style="color: #93c47d;">"Heroes" in this
edition are giants of horror film - primarily directors, with some actors and EFX
masters added to the mix - that have left their mark on this genre. They are
presented through interviews, or at least through words of their prominent and
famous colleagues.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia; mso-ansi-language: #241A;"><span style="color: #93c47d;">In this book, my
contribution is much more substantial, accounting for nearly 10% of content!
Specifically, out of 144 pages, my texts occupy a full 12! Specifically, here
you can read my interview with a horror legend like <span style="text-transform: uppercase;">Christopher Lee</span> (2 pages), whom I met at the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grossmann_film_and_wine_festival">Grossmann
Film & Wine Festival</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia; mso-ansi-language: #241A;"><span style="color: #93c47d;">In addition to Lee, there is
also my interview with STUART GORDON (5 pages), with whom I talked at Fantasia
in Montreal in 2010, followed by my mini-essay: 5 REASONS WHY I LOVE STUART
GORDON. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia; mso-ansi-language: #241A;"><span style="color: #93c47d;">There you can also find my
interview with <span style="text-transform: uppercase;">Jaume Balaguero</span> (3
pages), interviewed at Grossman two years ago, and my conversation with the Italian master of
make-up and visual effects, SERGIO STIVALETTI (2 pages) whom I caught in
Belgrade. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia; mso-ansi-language: #241A;"><span style="color: #93c47d;">There's really some good
stuff to read here; what I personally enjoyed the most are interviews with Wes Craven,
Paul Verhoeven, H.G. Lewis, A. Jodorovsky and Richard Stanley, and it is worthwith
a special mention for the words of Peter Bogdanovich about working with Boris Karloff
on TARGETS.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="color: #93c47d;">Stuart Gordon has a unique talent to unite the
things which are either considered too disparate (like sex and horror) or those
which are rarely blended with such an unmitigated success (like horror and
humor). Nowhere is this mixture so successful as in his debut, <i>Re-Animator</i>, a timeless classic which is
at once sick, depraved, hilarious and utterly what-the-funny. Many directors
aimed for that particular rainbow, but only a few (like <i>The Return of the Living Dead</i> /1985/ and <i>Braindead</i> /1992/) can parallel the insanity and unpredictability of
<i>Re-Animator's </i>inspired splattstick. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="color: #93c47d;">Unity of opposites? Hell, yeah! Rooted in
literature and theater (where his productions were nominated for many important
awards), Gordon mastered B-movie entertainment of the horrific and provocative
kind. The same man who conceived the gleefully sadistic <i>The Dentist</i> (1996) also wrote the kiddy fantasy hit <i>Honey, I Shrunk the Kids</i> (1989). </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="color: #93c47d;">With
equal wit he adapts Lovecraft and Mamet (in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on"><i>Edmond</i></st1:place></st1:city>,
2005); he is as inspired by the most outrageous fantasy of <i>From Beyond</i> (1986) as he is by the gritty reality of <i>Stuck</i>, 2007 (based on a true event).
From the depths of the Charles Band and Brian Yuzna produced exploitation he is
struggling to be political, socially conscious and subversive. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="color: #93c47d;">Gordon represents the true spirit of the
independents which reigned in the bygone (?) days. His ability to join the
unjoinable and make it enjoyable is all but forgotten in this day and age where
young horror directors can barely concoct a story worth telling – far from
imbuing it with wit, energy and subtext like Gordon so effortlessly could. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="color: #93c47d;">As
such, he is both a relic from the past and a lasting inspiration to all those
who can see beneath the surface right into the bloody beating heart of
B-moviemaking.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

you read modern horror fiction, then you must've come across the name </span><b style="color: #93c47d;">Laird Barron</b><span style="color: #93c47d;">. And remembered it. Not
only because it is pretty unique and memorable in itself, but because his
writings are, too. </span><b style="color: #93c47d;">Laird Barron </b><span style="color: #93c47d;">is certainly
one of the best new horror authors. He has a recognizably vivid, pictorial,
no-nonsense style while his themes are commonly connected with the kind of </span><i style="color: #93c47d;">cosmic horror</i><span style="color: #93c47d;"> that H. P. Lovecraft made
all his own. Now Barron is putting his own distinct stamp on this fertile field
– with more testosterone than found in your usual bookish antiquarian
HPL-inspired works. </span></span></div>

months ago, titled <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Beautiful Thing That Awaits Us All</i></b> (published by <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">NightShade Books</b>, just as his two
previous collections and the excellent novel <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Croning</i></b>). It contains
some of his best work ever: my favorites are the novellas "The Men From
Porlock", where the mystical horror of the woods leads to an even darker
horror of the caves, and "Blackwood's Baby", about hunters becoming
hunted by the primal Beast… but all of the others are more than worthy
additions to cement his recent reputation as "the scariest writer
alive". </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #d9ead3;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It is, as
you say, a tool, critic/reviewer shorthand, and it doesn’t faze me. Although, I
am occasionally bemused when something of mine is labeled Lovecraftian and is
quite objectively not. I count Lovecraft as a strong influence, but no stronger
than that exerted by Peter Straub, TED Klein, or Cormac McCarthy. At the top of
his game HPL was a much better stylist than his detractors will admit. Before I
found my own voice, and that was an age and a half, I was enamored of his
baroqueness. While that luster has faded for me, I remain an admirer of his
vision. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #d9ead3;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Growing up,
I read a lot of H. Rider Haggard, Robert E. Howard, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Fritz
Leiber, and a slew of other authors who staked out pulp territory back in its
glory days. Those are some of the guys who taught me the fundamentals. How to
tell a story being lesson one.</span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">- In terms of genre, horror seems to be pretty
central to your interests as seen so far. There are spices of SF, action, spy,
adventure, noir, western... but the main meat is usually horror. Do you have
plans for stories or even novels where the main meat would be something other? </span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Basically, this question is about another label
– how do you feel about the term "horror" (do you prefer
"weird" or "strange" or...?) and, regardless of the term,
what are your feelings about the genre?</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #d9ead3;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I enjoy
horror in its numerous manifestations. Much as I like category horror, it bores
me a bit these days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My preferences
increasingly lean toward its use as a spice, rather than as a course. The great
strength of the genre is its mutability, its chameleon nature, the way it can be
insinuated into other genres. Take McCarthy’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Blood Meridian </i>—there’s a historical western that’s energized and
transformed by the infusion of horror and dark mysticism. It’s a landmark
horror novel that will never be recognized as such by the main body of readers
or critics, and in a perverse way, that’s the ultimate compliment a genre
author can be paid.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #d9ead3;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #d9ead3;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I’m working
on a crime novel and a number of stories that are horrific, if not explicitly
of the horror tradition.</span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">- It seems to me that some very interesting
things are happening in horror literature today, with the overall level of
quality higher than in the golden days of mass popularity brought by Stephen
King in the early 1980s. Do you agree? Please discuss. </span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">What do you think about horror literature
today? Which contemporary colleagues would you single out? </span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #d9ead3;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It’s a
tough call, comparing the eras. Hard to beat a young King, Barker, or Straub.
Michael Shea and Karl Edward Wagner were smashing stories out of the park. TED
Klein, too. So were many others. On the other hand, yes, the racks were glutted
by dreck and that led to an implosion, not just commercially, but also
perceptually. The average reader identifies horror with garbage from the ’80s
and ’90s. In some respects the subsidence of mass market horror has done a
great service to the genre —the rise of independent and small presses and their
willingness to publish literary takes on the subject matter has led to a kind
of renaissance. There might be less volume, but the quality is often
impeccable. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #d9ead3;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #d9ead3;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">There are a
number of exemplary figures at work, but let me point to a handful of them: Livia
Llewellyn, Sarah Langan, Dan Chaon, Stephen Graham Jones, Gemma Files, Kaaron
Warren, Paul Tremblay, John Langan, Gary McMahon, Simon Strantzas, Richard
Gavin, Ian Rogers, Joe Pulver, Matt Cardin, Norman Partridge, Lucius Shepard,
Chesya Burke, and so on. I’m giving some terrific authors short shrift because
the list would be too long. Suffice to say, the field is healthy. We’ll look back
fondly on this era, I am certain.</span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Story:</b> The first 7 minutes, out of the 60, are made of opening
credits. Nothing interesting whatsoever happens during them. In the following 32
minutes, a hooker (I'm not sure if she's teenage, but she's certainly nothing
to write home about) is impregnated and killed by her 'teacher', revived by
hack-saw 'scientists' and turned into a poor man's cyborg. She is unleashed
upon her wrongdoers in the 39th minute of this mess (that's only 17 minutes
before the end credits). Of course, nothing interesting whatsoever happens
during the entire 49 minutes of the film proper. The end credits are mercifully
shortened to mere 4 minutes, and, of course, just like in the opening 7, nothing
interesting whatsoever happens during them. </div>

I'm not against opening credits:
they can be an art-form in themselves. They prepare you for the film, introduce
the mood, the setting, the atmosphere, they can be enjoyable in themselves, like
a short movie of a kind... But, those you get in REAL cinema. The opening of TEENAGE
HOOKER BECAME A KILLING MACHINE perfectly announces the insipid time-waster
that follows by showing 7 worthless minutes of a girl roaming around the city
streets, accompanied by a forgettable, stupid music and the endless crawl of
names no one should ever bother to read or remember. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify;">
TEENAGE HOOKER BECAME A KILLING
MACHINE is not a movie. It is a title that never bothered to provide a
substance to be attached to. And by 'substance' I do not mean a profound
meditation on human condition and the plight of raped schoolgirl hookers around
the world. No, I mean the kind of substance one can reasonably expect from
something that advertizes itself as a TEENAGE HOOKER BECAME A KILLING MACHINE.
Rape, tits, perversity, mayhem, slaughter, gore, body parts, imaginative death
scenes, weird cyberpunk imagery. Stuff like that.</div>

None of that will be found here.
The only 'sex' scene consists of repetitive close up shots of a guy's ass (luckily,
in trousers) pumping at the 'teenage hooker' against the wall. Cyberpunk
imagery? How about a group of giggling 'scientists' with a hack-saw, whose
overlong 'operation' is intercut with a pointless opera singer? Their creation
is surrounded by cheap plastic tubes. GHOST IN THE SHELL, eat your heart out!
Gore and mayhem? Gotta be kidding me. A tit blown-off, a few splashes of red,
and that's all. Here's a free advice: if you're after sleaze which, unlike this
crap, actually delivers, try GUTS OF A VIRGIN and ENTRAILS OF A VIRGIN for a
change. They ARE stupid, but at least they do not cheat you with endless
nonsense. They deliver on their promise.</div>

It is one thing to try something,
and fail. But it is a completely different, and most despicable affair when a
product (I refuse to consider this a movie) <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">does not even try</b>. TEENAGE HOOKER BECAME A KILLING MACHINE is a
spiritless affair whose makers were assured there would be enough morons in the
world to buy or rent a DVD solely because of its title, cover and basic plot.
Since the director Gee-woong Nam was too lazy and talentless to even bother
trying to develop the concept into something resembling a movie, he decided to
stretch scenes way beyond the running time they require, so as to forcefully
fill the 60 minutes. Other than the 11 minutes 'worth' of credits, you're also
treated with a 2 minute long wailing of a granny who hates the noise in the
streets. Two minutes of an ugly crone thrashing on the floor: "Why are
they making all this noise? Why don't they leave an old woman like me alone?
Why, oh, why? etc." Other memorable scenes include the 5 (five!!!) minutes
of the hooker's single uniterrupted close up in which she slowly mumbles
insufferable platitudes about her love to her teacher, willingness to leave the
job for him etc. Whatever could be stretched – was stretched. Emptiness had to
be filled somehow. With no budget, no imagination, no spirit, no inventiveness,
no care, no regard for the audience – all they could think of was: <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">prolong everything</b>. This may be 'only'
60 minutes long – but if you're foolish enough to watch it, it'll seem like
eternity. </div>

Vera</i></b> (1982) is a title which refers to the Latin name for <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">smallpox</b>, and the film is loosely based
on a real event. In 1972, an Albanian Moslem from Kosovo was infected by
smallpox on his pilgrimage somewhere in the Middle East, and upon his return to
Serbia he caused an epidemic in the Belgrade City Hospital, since his symptoms
were not immediately recognised. The film's director, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Goran Marković</b>, uses the disease as a metaphor: it provides a
distorted mirror for an unhealthy system... He explains how he came to make
this cult film which mixes <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">disaster</b>
and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">horror</b> movie formulas with an
auteur approach.<br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I carried this film with me when I
taught film classes in New York. The American students who saw it, they only
perceived a story about the epidemic. What they failed to see is that it's also
a story about a society, about a sick society. But that sort of thing happens
when you try to use metaphors, symbols etc. But such were the times back then. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">During the research I was very much helped
by a brochure on smallpox, and a voice recorder that I used with doctors who
wanted to talk to me. I was afraid that they would not want to talk if they knew
I was recording them, but once it so happened that it clicked when the tape
came to an end and then they found me out. I was ashamed. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">That's what I basically did: a

came to shooting the film immediately after working with Bergman, on <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Fanny
and Alexander</i></b>, and he asked what language to use and I said 'In
English'. The first scene was with the Albanians from Kosovo. We found them at
the railway station and took them to play the relatives of the deceased Rexhepi.
When they came to the set, it was the first time that they've ever seen a film
camera, and we had Josephson speaking in English, they are using Albanian, there
are also Serbian actors... It was an incredible set of people! </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">--- You mentioned the Albanians, and this inevitably
imposes a comparison of coincidence of the premiere of your movie which
happened just one year after the massive Albanian demonstrations in Kosovo, in 1981.
Was there an intention to present the disease as a metaphorical version of this
type of risk coming from there? </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">No, it was factually quite authentic,
I just changed the name of the man who brought the smallpox virus to Belgrade:
in the film he is called Halil Rexhepi, while in the real case his name was Rexhep
Halili. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">As for the opening sequence, I also
had this one idea that horror fans would've liked. It was supposed to happen on
a cult place for Islam, and that is the tower in Samarra. It is absolutely a
masterpiece of architecture and rhythm. It somewhat resembles the Tower of
Babel, it's like a pyramid, made up of a spiral road which climbs to the
summit. This path is widest down, at the base, and as you get above, it gets
very narrow. So, the idea was for this Albanian pilgrim to climb the spiral,
and I wanted the originator of the disease, with his flute, to be on the very
top.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">But it is true, at the time of
premiere, there was a critic from Zagreb, who wrote that <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Variola vera</i></b> was anti-Albanian

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The guys of the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><a href="http://www.cultographies.com/">'Cultographies'</a></b> series
are back at it again, with some new titles! We've already presented their first
three books on this site: THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW, DONNIE DARKO and THIS
IS SPINAL TAP. You'll remember them as the slightly more accessible variety of
what BFI is doing in their 'classics' series: small, serious but readable accounts
of the production, evaluation and influence of some major modern titles – in
this case, devoted entirely to ''the weird and wonderful world of cult
cinema''. The series editors, Ernest Mathijs and Jamie Sexton, now proudly
present Jim Barratt's analysis of Peter Jackson's cult classic, BAD TASTE.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>In
its form, the book stays close to that envisioned for the whole series: it
opens with a personal note (how the author came across the film, what it meant for
him back then, what it means for him now), continues with behind-the-scenes
facts of the painful birth process (always a fun read when it comes to the
usual guerilla filmmaking in the low budget arena!), culminating, of course,
with the analysis (what, exactly, makes the particular title the object of a
cult following? what does it all mean? what's the significance? etc.) and
further relevance for the genre it belongs to and to (cult) cinema in general.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The
author, Jim Barratt, is a fine choice for this book: as a former Film and Video
Examiner for the British Board of Film Classification he can provide some rare facts
about the various censorship issues that BAD TASTE sometimes encountered, and
how, eventually, it was cleared of that danger in most countries, passing uncut
in spite of its copious amounts of splattering gore, vomit, goo and the like.
Obviously, BAD TASTE was one of those rare instances in which someone actually
paid attention to the context of its set-pieces, and the context justified the
exception. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Even the censors were able to recognize that all of the 'bad taste'
on display, including exaggerated dismemberments, geysers of blood etc. were
used for obvious humorous purpose, in a context that's more infantile than
'nasty'. Barratt also rightly points to the similarities between Jackson's
peculiar 'splatstick' (splatter + slapstick) and Monty Python's memorable uses
of similarly extreme and intentionally goofy effects, like in the famous gore-galore
sketch of "Sam Peckinpah's SALAD DAYS" or in the unforgettable episode
from MONTY PYTHON'S THE MEANING OF LIFE with the gluttonous, obese man who gorges
himself (and vomits every once in a while) until he explodes all over the fancy
restaurant.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Because
of its comedic elements, together with bits and pieces of other genres (Sci-Fi,
action, etc.), Barratt claims that BAD TASTE is not really a horror film at
all: other than the splatter effects (used for comedic effect), there is no
evidence of suspense, fear, creepiness or anything remotely scary (unlike, say,
some other splatter-horror comedies, like THE EVIL DEAD or RE-ANIMATOR). Thanks
to its light-hearted tone BAD TASTE could expect a better understanding among
the frowning censors around the world, and it is certainly one of the keys of
its general appeal. Nothing is really dark or edgy about it: it's a series of
juvenile 'sick', but essentially inoffensive jokes in which no one (and nothing
of value) is really hurt. There is no deeper point, no relevance, no
subversiveness to speak of, except the most basic puerile provocation of
lavatory humor and childish 'bad taste'.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>It's
an exercise in style by a budding filmmaker trying to draw attention to himself
by a calculated effort to make a CULT film. There is plenty of evidence in the
book that Jackson knew what he was doing, right from the start (see the excerpt
from the letter in which he asked for financing from the officials). "BAD
TASTE was actively marketed and distributed in ways designed to solicit cult
status", says Barratt (page 52). But, significantly, he adds: "But
for the film to be <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">adopted</i> as such by
its audience, it has to offer them something different, some special qualities
worthy of their devotion." Jackson did offer something new and,
eventually, rightly got where he is now. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The
first three films analyzed in the 'Cultographies' series all dealt with some
significant issues: gender roles in ROCKY HORROR; time, death and sacrifice in
DONNY; rock culture and documentary genre in SPINAL TAP. Unlike them, BAD TASTE
is not really about anything, and that may be the reason why this volume is
some 20 pages slimmer than the previous entries. Although short, this book is
by no means lightweight, and serious tools are used to analyze what little
there was to be analyzed. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">It also provides numerous amusing anecdotes and facts
about the film (especially the local, New Zealand specific references lost on
many international viewers), but one feels much more of the similar material
could've been used to make the text somewhat weightier. At least, the book
points to numerous sources (articles, books, even web sites) which might be
valuable to those cultists willing to explore more background of one of the
most inauspicious debuts in the history of cinema. From rags (BAD TASTE) to
riches (LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy, Oscars etc.).<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Also, in
the <i>CLASSIC CUT,</i> at the very end of the mag, there's my praise of one of
the most important books about horror film ever written – and certainly and
without doubt THE most important <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">reference</b>
book on horror cinema around the world in existence: <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i>THE AURUM FILM ENCYCLOPEDIA: HORROR </i></b>(aka <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">THE OVERLOOK</b> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i>FILM ENCYCLOPEDIA: HORROR</i></b> in its later, updated edition).

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Finally, so
far as my contributions to the mag are concerned, there's a feature article
devoted to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Laird Barron</b> and his
latest collection <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i>THE BEAUTIFUL THING
THAT AWAITS US ALL</i></b><i>. </i>He talks about his influences (especially
Lovecraft and pulp authors), about horror and noir-western-crime elements in
his fiction (that's why the article is titled <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">GODS & GUNS</b>), and there's also my overview of his latest book's
highlights.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Sadly, a
very rare and unexpected thing happened: the book was due to appear on April 2.
Instead, just a few days later, news broke that its publisher, <i>Night Shade Books</i>
(who also published his two previous collections + excellent novel <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i>THE CRONING</i></b></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">) is on the verge of bankruptcy and
will most likely be bought by another company – provided their authors agree to
the new conditions. The book remains in a limbo while this whole thing with <i>Night
Shade Books</i><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"> is satisfactorily
resolved, but while you await this truly wonderful and deservedly highly anticipated
collection, here's a gift from Barron to all of his devoted readers – a free
story on his site, as a sign of appreciation for your patience and support.

Review: <br />
EPISODE ONE: <b style="background-color: #38761d;">PRAYER BEADS</b> (director/writer Masahiro Okano) </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">A pregnant woman, a psychologically unhinged friend and her missing
husband, apparitions in their darkened apartment, mysterious connections
between them all and the culminating zombie revenge are elements of this
concoction.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">I've always hated the phrase 'not bad for its kind', but it just
sums up this episode perfectly: while not original or deep in any way, at least
it tries to be as scary as possible with its limited means and déjà vu
elements, and ends up as one of the creepiest episodes of this series. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><br />
EPISODE TWO: <b style="background-color: #38761d;">VENDING MACHINE WOMAN</b> (director/writer Shigehito Kawata) </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">This is what happens when a young pair goes on a vacation
unprepared: not only have they not checked on the place in advance, but even
worse, they're going there with no soft drinks whatsoever. So, when the girl is
thirsty in the middle of the night, her beau has no alternative but to go to a
creepy shack several miles down the road through the woods, and take a few cans
of queasy juice from a wending machine nearby. The effects of this juice,
however, lead to a wonderfully extravagant conclusion.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">This is a favorite episode among many, and I can see why: the
isolated setting is creepy, and the outré ending is reminiscent of some crazy
stories of early Stephen King, where weirdness awaits you just off the beaten
path, with no rhyme or reason. It also features the series' most elaborate
physical effect: it is a bit on the cheap, rubbery side, but is still quite
effective in its merging of the organic and mechanic, sort of like a poor man's
David Cronenberg meets a poor man's Screaming Mad George.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">

EPISODE THREE: <b style="background-color: #38761d;">IT’S ME</b> (director Naoki Kusumoto)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Young thugs intend to extort some money from an old lady. But, in
Japanese horrors, old ladies are not to be fooled with! Besides, who is
observing the criminal behind the closet door?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">For my money, this was an endurance test, a bore-fest with a
predictable twist not worth waiting for.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><br />
EPISODE FOUR: <b style="background-color: #38761d;">REAL</b> (director Masahiro Okano)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">A respected surgeon (Masayo Kato, from GOZU, AGITATOR, SAMURAI
RESURRECTION…) suffers from headaches which make him untrustworthy and
unbalanced in the middle of an operation. So, this man of science goes to a
comic-book-creepy guy who wears a cloak and hides his face even in his living
room, and accepts a mysterious "cure" with a side-effect or two.
That's when he really enters the world of pain…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">I have a weak spot for downward-spiral LSD-trips, so this portrait
of a madman as a young surgeon had its moments (i.e. his visions), but was
mostly dull and uninvolving in the remaining part, and lacks a real punch.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<br /><span lang="EN-US">
EPISODE FIVE: <b style="background-color: #38761d;">MUSHROOM HUNTING</b> (director/writer Masahiro Okano)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">An otaku boy meets a nice girl meets a date-rape jock over the
internet. What do they do on their first encounter in real life? Why, they go
to the woods for some mushroom hunting, of course. And what do they do when a
comic-book-creepy guy (cloak, rags, hidden face and all) warns them not to
proceed any further, or at least not to enter a witch's cabin? Well, of course
they continue until they come to a cabin where a creepy old woman offers some
nice mushroom soup. They were asking for it!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Other than being completely silly, unbelievable and trashy, this
episode is quite passable. The acting is somewhat better than the usual (low)
standards of this series, while mushrooms grown from human bodies are always a
nice thing to see. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><br />
EPISODE SIX: <b style="background-color: #38761d;">EDDIE</b> (director Toshikatsu Kubo)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">It begins like a precursor of Korean THE HOST: in a river, under the
bridge, there is a creature, and a bunch of spectators (and even a TV crew) are
crowded on the bank. However, the said creature is a cute, seal-like thingee
with those big sad-puppy eyes. How could it be dangerous? And what's a little
telekinetic boy doing there?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">You can never go wrong with giant vagina-monsters, and this episode
proves this time-worn truth once again. OK, they are CGI, and rather poor CGI
at that, but hell, it's giant vagina-monsters anyway, rampaging on the river
bank and exploding all over the place. What else could you possibly want from
your entertainment? Perhaps more money and physical creature effects instead of
CGI, but… beggars can't be choosers!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><br />
EPISODE SEVEN: <b style="background-color: #38761d;">ECHOES</b> (director/writer Naoki Kusumoto)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">An old man and his wife exert a revenge on the men responsible for
abducting their grand-daughter and selling her to the hospital for body parts.
Is this a subtle satire on the underbelly of Japanese health-care system,
unrivalled even by Michael Moore's SICKO, or just an excuse for some cheap CGI
body-damage effects? You decide!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Once again, I wish they went with practical effects instead of (very
poor) CGI! I mean, come on, guys, it's XXI century, and if you cannot make Joe
Odagiri (BUGMASTER, SHINOBI, BLACK KISS, AZUMI) explode better than John
Cassavetes did full three decades ago, in de Palma's THE FURY, you should bow
your heads in shame! The story is dull and unconvincing on too many levels,
even for this kind of Tales from the Crypt scenario.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><br />
EPISODE EIGHT: <b style="background-color: #38761d;">CAT’S PAW</b> (director/writer Masahiro Okano)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">A bullied boy (is there any other kind, except for bullies?)
receives an unexpected help from an internet portal and a fuzzy cat-like
creature through anime enactments of his three wishes.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Stylistically different at least in the sense that half of its
running time is actually animated, this is a variation of the classic 'be
careful what you wish for…' story, W.W. Jacobs' MONKEY'S PAW. We've seen
millions of variations on the theme, including one on THE SIMPSONS, so why not
an anime one?<br />

EPISODE NINE: <b style="background-color: #38761d;">APARTMENT</b> (director Masahiro Okano)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">What starts as a grueling family dinner from Hell ends up as a mess
of a very different and silly kind.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">There are two completely disjointed halves here: in the first one, a
psychotic father torments his wife and two kids; in the second one Mr. Okano
tries to include visual references to all previous episodes, regardless of the
fact that none of that makes any sense, and so 'wraps up' this series in a
haphazard way.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">All in all, PRAYER BEADS is a decent, though not too inspired
attempt to make a Japanese version of TALES FROM THE CRYPT (without the Crypt
Keeper foolishness). It means it's trashy, cheap, clichéd, unconvincing and
mostly dull, over-reliant on special effects (Masahiro Okano's real
profession), with occasional flashes of inspiration scattered here and there.
It is very low on atmosphere, mood and scares; when it attempts something of
the kind, it ends up being silly, comic-book-like in the worst, most dated
sense (think EC comics of the '50s as the paragon). Obviously shot on video,
its visuals are workmanlike, bland, often banal or downright ugly, more
appropriate for the SCHOOLGIRL IN CEMENT kind of snuff-like horrors than to
something that's supposed to be scary. Nevertheless, there's quite enough for
undiscriminating viewers to enjoy here, so if you feel like some low-brow
horror fun for the whole family, go for it! </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Carl Panzram</b> is unique among serial
killers in several regards. First of all, he was the most <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">nihilistic and misanthropic</b> of them all. He was not partial in his
hatred because he did not hate only women, Blacks, Jews, hookers... "I
don't believe in man, God nor Devil," he wrote. "I hate the whole
damned human race, including myself." He had no hopes, no illusions about
either himself or the world which he saw it in all its depraved and brutal
clarity. "I wish you all had one neck and that I had my hands on it"
said the man who described himself as "the spirit of meanness
personified".</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The
second quality which raises him above practically any other serial killer on
record: he was a truly lucid, intelligent and sensitive (!) person, and the
autobiographical writings and letters he left behind make for a uniquely
profound read, at the same time shocking and touching. He's a true <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">philosopher</b> among the serial killers,
and his words have the power to resonate like the best lines from Hemingway,
Chandler and William Burroughs: clear, cruel, vivid, witty and precisely to the
point. No bullshit there. No-nonsense, straight for the jugular, that's Panzram
for you.</span></div>

in poverty, hard labor, ignorance, bestial violence and abuse, Panzram met only
cruelty wherever he turned: family, school, church... it was all the same. His
Golgotha through the soul-crushing brutality of corrupt institutions culminated
in the correctional center for youths which only strengthened his bleak
worldview and proved that, sadly, "might makes right". He was fully
formed when he was only 14: "I was so full of hate that there was no room
in me for such feelings as love, pity, kindness or honor or decency, my only
regret is that I wasn't born dead or not at all."</span></div>

few years later, while still a teenager on the run from home, he was gang-raped
by four hobos. "I cried, I begged and pleaded for mercy, pity, and
sympathy," he wrote later, "but nothing I could say or do could sway
them from their purpose. I left that box a sadder, sicker, but wiser
boy." He felt literally and metaphorically fucked by everybody, and
decided that from then on, HE would be the one to fuck everyone he could: "In
my lifetime I have murdered 21 human beings, I have committed thousands of
burglaries, robberies, larcenies, arsons and last but not least I have
committed sodomy on more than 1,000 male human beings. For all of these things
I am not the least bit sorry. I have no conscience so that does not worry
me." In a world in which you either eat or are mercilessly eaten, his
motto became: "Rob 'em all, rape 'em all, and kill 'em all."<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>At
long last, Panzram's colorful life story – and his views, inseparable from it –
became the subject of a feature-length documentary. The long wait ultimately
paid off because Panzram got the treatment he deserved from John Borowski,
independent filmmaker and author of two previous, equally superb documentaries on
America's serial killers from the late 19th and early 20th century: <a href="http://www.hhholmesthefilm.com/">H.H. HOLMES</a> (2004) and <a href="http://www.albertfishfilm.com/">ALBERT FISH</a> (2007). This means
that Panzram ended in truly devoted and more than able hands. The resulting
film, CARL PANZRAM: THE SPIRIT OF HATRED AND VENGEANCE, is a true paradigm of how
to make a great documentary on a subject like this.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Borowski
presents Panzram from as many angles as possible. Understandably, his hands are
somewhat tied by the fact that Panzram lived in the early decades of the 20th
century (he was executed in 1930), which means that there are no living
witnesses, no current first-hand accounts, no direct video or film footage of
him or scenes relevant for his deeds. Borowski had to rely on the few existing
photographs, news clippings and facsimiles of Panzram's writings. The closest
he comes to a direct footage is an archive interview with Henry Lesser,
ex-prison guard: the only person ever to treat Panzram like a human being and
the one who made him write his autobiography, smuggling and preserving his
papers later on. Without Lesser we wouldn't have any record whatsoever of a
rich and inspiring human being that Carl Panzram certainly was. This interview
exists only on a poor quality VHS cassette, but it's a valuable document and
the worthiest asset among the extras on the DVD.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>What
he couldn't get through direct footage, Borowski more than compensates with the
use of said photographs and writings, but also through archive film materials
from the period and, especially, through brief but colorful re-enactments.
Three actors portray Panzram in the three crucial stages of his life: Brett
Jetmund plays Charlie Panzram in his formative, pre-teen years, David Salmonson
is the young Carl Panzram (in his 20s, when he did most of his killings) and
Tom Lodewyck plays the somewhat older Carl Panzram as an inmate of various
prisons before he was hanged at the age of 38. The perfect cast does a great
job of embodying the abused abuser, "the spirit of meanness
personified" but also the human being behind the mask of a monster.</span></div>

film provides an insight into the conditions which created this
"monster", trying to understand his crimes without justifying them.
This is a tricky thing: defending a person (as a victim of various
circumstances) without defending his crimes, without glorifying him or turning
him into a hero. Panzram's spirit of total negativity can be hypnotic and
attractive for modern-day nihilists: his attitude of an almost Burroughsian
TOTAL OUTLAW is very inspiring while many of his saying are highly quotable.
Still, this shouldn't make us forget that this man has raped and killed at
least 22 men. Especially unforgivable are his brutal rapings and killings of
several pre-teen boys. They are mentioned in the film, briefly, but only in
passing, while Panzram's cold-hearted reminiscences of them are NOT quoted. This
is a pity, because paragraphs such as this one shouldn't be glossed over: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

him the label of a monster, much more than the one single killing (of an
abusive prison employee) which eventually led him to the gallows. Other than
that, the film does a fine job of balancing the life and times of this man and
of putting him into a proper context. Panzram certainly was and is a telling
sign of an age. Many bigger social, psychological, ethical and philosophical
issues are reflected in and around him: from (in)human treatment of prisoners
through the problem of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">psychopaths</b>
all the way to the questions of good and evil, right and wrong, human laws vs.
higher laws... A big help in shedding some light on those questions comes from
a superb selection of a wide array of relevant participants who talk on camera.</span></div>

at 80 minutes, the film could certainly use some more material without being
overlong or repetitive. The extra features on the DVD actually contain many
scenes which could've been used in the film. For example, most of the DELETED
SCENES (approx 10 minutes of them) deserve to be IN the film itself, as they
contain telling information and add further shades of Panzram's character (esp.
the issue of being TRUTHFUL and /not/ honoring his word). <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

OF feature (approx 25 minutes) also contains at least 15 minutes' worth of
material that could've been IN the film. It has very little actual footage of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">making of</i> the film – instead, it offers many
additional pieces of interviews and re-enactments not seen in the film proper.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">INTERVIEW WITH HENRY LESSER (approx

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>If
I were to nitpick in an almost perfect film, I'd say that it could've presented
some more detail about Panzram's <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">afterlife
in pop culture</b> and elsewhere. The book <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">PANZRAM:
A JOURNAL OF MURDER</b> by Thomas E. Gaddis and James O. Long, which was the
first to reveal the full story about this man, including copious excerpts from
his writings, is barely mentioned. The film <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">KILLER: A JOURNAL OF MURDER</b> (1995) by Tim Metcalfe, in which <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">James Woods</b> portrays Panzram, is not even
mentioned. While Panzram is certainly not a "star" even among serial
killer buffs, he has his own cult and his shadow spreads over some significant
films. For example, his quote "I wish you all had one neck and my hands
were around it" serves as a motto to a Serbian horror-comedy <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">DAVITELJ PROTIV DAVITELJA</b> (Strangler
Vs. Strangler, 1984) by Slobodan Šijan, while his words "Today I am dirty,
but tomorrow I'll be just DIRT" open the film <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">DER TODESKING</b> (1990) by Jorg Buttgereit. References to these and
other possible examples would be just footnotes – but perhaps worthy of
inclusion so as to further flesh-out Panzram's ghost which still haunts us.</span></div>

spite of these quibbles, CARL PANZRAM: THE SPIRIT OF HATRED AND VENGEANCE is
obviously a work of devotion, love and knowledge, self-financed and created

the definite story about this unique man – and to show why his story is still
relevant and haunting.</span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> <span style="color: #93c47d;"> 2012 was not apocalyptic, but it was certainly grim: it brought yet another slim, forgettable year in terms of horror cinema. Horror films, especially American, are getting dumber and dumber, and those few which try to be different are fundamentally misguided, limited by their authors' misunderstanding of the genre. </span></span></b><br />
<b style="color: #93c47d;"> Anyway, below you'll find some titles which had at least <i>something</i> going for them. There are also some good books listed (at least in that department we had some truly excellent stuff)! </b></div>

the summer issue of the </span><b style="color: #93c47d;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Girls and Corpses</i></b><span style="color: #93c47d;"> magazine. The
questions were quite spirited, and so were the answers, so it certainly
deserves your attention. I came accross scans of these pages and decided to

My article on
the first Nort American release of the long-in-limbo occult thriller which premiered
1996. I met its director, <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Julian
Richards (<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Last Horror Movie)</i></b> at this year's <a href="http://www.grossmann.si/home/">Grossmann film festival</a> in Slovenia,
and he explained the reasons for the delay and talked about his influences (Arthur

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
This book
earned the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Spotlight in </i>THE NINTH
CIRCLE section dedicated for book reviews. More than a mere book, this is a huge,
unique study of music scores in SF, Fantasy and Horror films by the leading
expert in the field, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: #241A;">Randall D. Larson</span></b><span style="mso-ansi-language: #241A;">. He explains the<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b>background of this endeavor and provides an exclusive list of
undeservedly neglected, lesser known, unsung masterpieces of horror scores
which are not so often invoked in the discussion of the best ever. </span></div>

my review of <b style="background-color: #38761d;">BOOK OF CTHULHU II</b>: the

second volume of<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The Book of Cthulhu</b> </i>(edited by Ross E. Lockhart) exemplifies
the richness of Lovecraft's legacy: gloomy terror, mystery, thrills, vivid
action, chilling visions, satire, SF, humor... all of that, and then some, is
crammed into more than 400 large pages awaiting readers eager for some
apocalyptic horror! See the review for the best titles singled out!</div>

<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Just
when you thought there's too much Ghoul in this issue, on the very last page
the regular CLASSIC CUT is devoted to a somewhat forgotten or at least
neglected, unsung near-masterpiece, <b style="background-color: #38761d;">THE
OTHER</b><span style="background-color: #38761d;"> (1972) </span>by Robert Mulligan. In this essay I'm pointing towards the
timeless qualities and influences this film has had on further development of
horror, especially when it comes to the "creepy kids" subgenre, and

twenty-something kidnappers take their prey (a tiny and very unscary little
girl) to an abandoned school. When they call the girl's parents, they're told
that their only daughter died a year ago. In the meanwhile, the girl<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>disappears, and the desperate amateurs must
chase her down the endless corridors. Later on three more of their friends
appear so that there would be some more 'cannon fodder' for the ghostly
kills... In the abandoned school no one can hear you pray...</span></div>

be different. PRAY wants to be a ghost flick with a difference. PRAY believes
in the audience's eternal desire for twists. Alas! The stress is on 'attempts',
'wants' and 'believes'. The end result, however, is yet another lackluster
attempt to cash in on the J-horror ghost craze.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>Oh, yeah, it <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">is </i>different in the sense that the
characters are not chased by ghosts in their apartments but in a deserted
school. Is anything gained by this environment? Not really. This particular
school is a far cry from the really creepy one in HAUNTED SCHOOL 4 (a very well
made little horror that I strongly recommend over this one!). The building and
its interiors are mind-numbingly mundane and utterly devoid of creepiness that
more accomplished directors, like Shinya Tsukamoto or Shimako Sato, were able
to invest in their spooky schools in HIRUKO THE GOBLIN and EKO EKO AZARAK,
respectively. The cheap direct-to-video shots deliver a boring murky setting
with no deep shadows or inventive stylization. There is neither atmosphere nor
eye-candy, just plain boring building that the characters roam through endlessly.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">And yes, they
attempt to 'surprise' you with some twists here. There is even a blurb on the
back cover of this DVD which says: 'A ghost story with a twist... followed by
another. And another...' After watching the film itself, I was reminded of that
old joke, when a reviewer says something like: 'This film is incredible in its
stupidity! It's amazing that anyone could watch more than 15 minutes of this
nonsense!' and then they make a blurb which says: 'This film is incredible ...!
It's amazing!' Well, something like that happens here. Yes, there <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">is</i> a twist after a twist here, but the
fact that they are <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">piled one after
another</i> is not necessarily a good thing. As all great films with a twist or
two in them have demonstrated, twists are effective only in stories with
characters to care about. And there's nothing remotely like that in this
flick.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In PRAY, the twists are merely a
lazy device, mechanical and ultimately self-demeaning. After an hour-long
boredom of watching some dispensable ciphers run around the corridors you just
won't care.</span></div>

should anyone bother? To 'enjoy' the drab environment of an abandoned school in
which all the inventory is somehow still there? To discover that a person can
be 'killed' by merely cutting his hand off? How's that for an inventive (or
physiologically, medically correct) kill? To be surprised by the 'couldn't care
less' twists? Why, really? I cannot recommend this quickie to anyone but the
most die-hard completists of Japanese horror. Everyone else should pray for the
release of something worthier.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Leonard Maltin is the arch-priest of
mediocrity, and his movie guides are perfectly suited for the commonest of
common denominators – for those who worship only the well-established classics
and who walk only the well-trod paths. Nothing wrong with those <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">per se</i> – it's not like no great film
ever won an Oscar or has been moderately successful at the box-office (there
were a few instances of both during the previous decades!) – but more often
than not, the real greatness lies behind the veil of the "good taste"
and "wholesome family fun".</span></div>

English-speaking world, Eastern and central Europe remain The Dark Domain

still dwell in the shadows of obscurity, waiting for their works to be
translated into English. <a href="http://www.stefangrabinski.org/">Stefan Grabinski</a> (1887-1936) is just

In his native Poland he
was an oddity while alive, at the dawn of the 20<sup>th</sup> century. He was a
writer without roots, without tradition to rely on, an outcast. One Polish
reviewer noted: "His short stories could easily be translations realized
beyond our borders." His predilection to imaginative, dark fantastic and
poetic horror made him a foreigner in his own country. He wrote: "For nine
years no one deigned to notice I was creating a new type of literature
previously unknown in Poland, that I was a pioneer of fantastique in the
strictest meaning of the word, a neo-romantic fantastique of a spontaneous and
autonomous character." Typically, he is one of those authors rediscovered
and recognized only long after their death.</div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">His tales are told "in an
old-fashioned style evoking the bygone era of provincial pre-war Poland, mixing
elements of the supernatural with realistically depicted scenery, filled with a
lingering lyricism suddenly rent by violent images, and laced with a menacing
sense of entrapment and frustrated eroticism", as a foreword to one of his
collections says. Sadly, his fate in the English-speaking world seems consigned
to rare, pricey, slim, hard-to-find small press editions such as <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Motion

from his 1930 collection <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Passion</i> (Namietnosc).
These 134 pages contain a solid introduction into Grabinski's world of
eccentric, alienated characters in the grip of either insanity or fantastic
events which bring them to the verge of losing their minds – or lives. In
either case, just as in Poe's best stories, they try to remain lucid and to
analyze that which refuses to be named and defined; they try to contain the
uncontainable, to understand that which surpasses them, and are usually crushed
by the dark forces from within or without.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The
book is divided into four chapters. Part one deals with "What do we mean
by 'film violence'?" and maps the complexity of the problem. First and
foremost, Mr. Kendrick presents the topic as crucial to understanding cinema
itself, since violence in all its guises is inherent to the flickering, "moving"
image (violence on the technological level: light piercing the eyeball and
deluding the brain with a deception of life). More obviously, it is linked to
the necessity for drama and conflict in what is basically narrative art. Furthermore,
"understanding film violence is central to understanding the social and
historical role of the cinema" (p. 4). </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The author endeavors (and succeeds)
in his attempt to provide a general foundation for understanding film violence
from historical, ideological and generic perspectives, which entails looking at
how film violence has affected and been affected by governmental policies,
box-office receipts, gender difference, shifting notions of genre, well-known
auteurs, changes in narrative and broad social trends. <span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"></span>Violence,
for Mr. Kendrick, is a "complex signifier" and he consistently
refuses monolithic definitions, preferring its presentation as a complex mode
of signification that needs to be thoroughly grounded in historical, cultural
and industrial contexts as well as subjective experience. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Chapter
two traces the depiction of film violence from the silent era until the present
day, focusing on aesthetic innovations (special effects, slow motion etc) and
various social responses to it. As the author puts it, "people have been
shooting and stabbing and slaughtering each other onscreen since the movies
began, and the only difference between then and now is that filmmakers have
adopted and made conventional increasingly graphic means of depicting these
violent behaviors" (p. 14). The crucial shift comes in the 1960s, when
explicit cinematic violence ventured from the disreputable grindhouse B-movies
into the respectable mainstream – first in Europe and Japan (esp. samurai
films), then in the USA, too (largely thanks to Hitchcock's PSYCHO and BIRDS).</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Chapter
three focuses on how violence was used in several of Hollywood's most popular
genres (western, horror and action). Representation of violence in these genres
is connected to their ideological functions and their changes over time. Horror
is dealt with in about 10 pages, with special stress put on concepts of taboo,
monstrosity and transgression (thematic, ideological and visual). <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Mr. Kendrick's brief analysis of
Paul Morrissey's <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Flesh for Frankenstein</i></b> (1973) is rather unconvincing and
problematic: this film is labeled "reactionary" because it offers
"a sharp critique of excess in any form, particularly meaningless sexual
excess" (p. 87). So it would seem, according to Mr. Kendrick, that
"meaningless sexual excess" should, actually, be presented as progressive?
Morrissey's film is called "conservative" because of its ironic
stance towards the sexual revolution of its time. This is reminiscent of Robin
Wood's famous misunderstanding of Cronenberg's early horror films, criticized
for being against the "liberal" party line according to which
meaningless sexual excess was progressive and deserved all the praise. This is
surprisingly narrow-minded in an otherwise quite decent overview of the role of
violence in horror film and various theoretical approaches attendant to it.</span></div>

Film-School Generation (F. F. Coppola, Martin Scorcese, Paul Schrader, Brian de
Palma...) and shows how they have reworked classical representations of
violence to distinguish themselves from the previous generations of filmmakers.
With this chapter the book ends somewhat abruptly, without conclusion of any
kind. Instead, there are helpful items like selected Filmography, Bibliography
and Index.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">This book is another one in the long and
precious series 'Short Cuts' by Wallflower, made up of short guides to various
aspects of cinema. The series includes titles like CRIME FILM: Investigating
The Scene, SHAKESPEARE ON FILM: Such Things as Dreams Are Made Of, WAR CINEMA: Hollywood
on the Front Line, <span class="genboldtxt">THE NEW HOLLYWOOD: From Bonnie and
Clyde to Star Wars, </span><span class="gentxt">FILM NOIR: From Berlin to Sin

others.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"> The
high standards established in the previous books are met in this one as well.
No big surprise since the author, Barry Keith Grant, is the professor of
Popular Culture and Film at Brock University and is one of the leading
authorities on film genre – among other things, he is the editor of the three
huge volumes of the indispensable FILM GENRE READER. No wonder, then, that he
provides this highly readable, informative and authoritative introduction to
all issues pertaining to the question of genre.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"> Mr.
Grant opens the book reminding us that the term genre has at least three major
meanings: 1) it refers to a particular mode of film production, 2) it is a
convenient consumer index announcing the kind of content to be expected in a
given film, and 3) it is a critical concept, mapping out the taxonomy of
popular film and pop culture in general. Then he goes on to analyze the term on
the level of the generic system (the relation of individual genres to each
other and to Hollywood production in general), individual genres (defining
individual genres and their common elements) and individual films (reading
specific films in their generic context).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"> Genre
as a concept is placed in its context within the popular culture and its origin
is found in the classical studio system from 1920ies to 1950ies., with their
economy of expression (through recognizable iconography and conventions) as the
key factor in their market value. The studio system provided a stable context
for filmmakers to work with consistency and to be creative and expressive
within the given confines. The key elements of genre are recognized in
conventions, iconography, setting, types of stories and characters, stories and
themes. These are all illustrated with examples from well-known genre films.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"> Never
losing itself in abstractions and definitions, this guide constantly goes back
to examples, providing minute case studies to elaborate a given concept: thus,
film noir, the musical and horror film are among those singled out to
illustrate the application of various theoretical tools in their understanding.
Special place is given to analysis of genre and its role in society: genre is
basically seen as a modern myth in which gathering in front of the cinema
screen has the same purposes that in previous centuries gatherings around the
fire were used. Of course, these shared dreams, hopes, fears and values are
liable to be abused, and Mr. Grant pays due attention to various ideological
uses of generic stories.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRvWmhDswLMdzljQD9EKER9J2Bde-gprt6WQdm2Clj8cU43UoxfXGyNhAZvgLt39s_TggKKhqtLDgXXFT-tXFGH40ehfImmTZmvXIj1LXbmzlGJYWNcFRf1DamFho7dZCsD88wAONtQUAT/s1600/film_noir_1_by_unclelou.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRvWmhDswLMdzljQD9EKER9J2Bde-gprt6WQdm2Clj8cU43UoxfXGyNhAZvgLt39s_TggKKhqtLDgXXFT-tXFGH40ehfImmTZmvXIj1LXbmzlGJYWNcFRf1DamFho7dZCsD88wAONtQUAT/s320/film_noir_1_by_unclelou.jpg" width="320" /></a><span lang="EN-US"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"> The
common complaint implied in the dichotomy: genre vs. art is explained and
convincingly negated by the case study of John Ford and his use of the western
genre conventions for his idiosyncratic style. It is even better supported by
the case studies of Howard Hawks, as another 'genre director' who managed to be
an 'author' at the same time, and of Fritz Lang and his peculiar use of genre. The
chapter on gender and genre provides a very interesting modern reading of such
action classics as DIE HARD and BLUE STEEL and the book concludes with a brief
chapter on the genres outside of Hollywood: Italian 'spaghetti western', Hong
Kong action films, Japanese samurai and monster movies, etc. Sadly, the book is
limited to Hollywood's genres, and not enough space is given to their influence
on film genres in Europe and Asia, which is merely hinted.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"> <span style="color: #93c47d;">If
you're theoretically inclined, this book provides an invaluable essence of all
varieties of approaches to genre and its meaning. At the same time, FILM GENRE
is a clear, easily understandable, well-supported account of what a genre means
and how it accomplishes what it set out to do. Because of that, it can serve as
an eye-opener to any genre film buff out there who may not have wondered about
the possible ideological readings of his or her favorite entertainment. No
entertainment is innocent and no genre film is 'just for fun': Barry Keith
Grant's books reminds us of the uses and abuses of generic iconography and of
hidden meanings inherent to our favorite genres. That's why it is strongly
recommended to every student of popular culture and to every cinemagoer who
doesn't leave their brain at the box office. </span></span></div>

<span lang="EN">To conclude: it is fine to see a film brave enough
to be playful with big questions and occasional nihilism and blasphemy, but
it's a pity that nothing much is really done with those, probably leaving a lot
for the sequel which may or may not happen. The film's main problem is trying
to merge an ALIEN-like horror film with a concept which would've been better
off without the forced links to ALIEN mythology. The result is neither a
gripping, suspenseful horror nor is it a very clever Sci-Fi film of big ideas: PROMETHEUS
is middling in both departments. Still, it is not entirely a failure, there is some
courage and cleverness amid the silly clichés and forced scenes, and PROMETHEUS
deserves to be seen – but, like I said, with lowered expectations.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
Despite its
apparently monolithic definition, 'teratology' (from the Greek words <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">teras</i></b>,
meaning 'monster,' and <i><b>logos</b></i>, meaning 'a speaking, discourse, treatise, doctrine, theory,
science') seems infinitely malleable, flourishing in various rhetorical
environments. Teratologies are more than a bestiary: a catalogue of 'freaks'
designed to celebrate the 'normal.' Rather, teratologies illustrate how humor,
horror, fantasy and the 'real' cross-fertilize each other, resulting in the
possibility of new worlds, ethics, and narratives, emerging. As a general
anthology of teratologies, this book simply maps what, in many ways, has
already been occurring across several fields, as it tracks the expansion of
this term, creating lacunae that form connections across multiple interpretive
communities. It is a cross section of how "monster narratives"
intersect with "outsider" positions, from different perspectives -
such as those of literary critics, film critics, criminologists, law
professors, historians, philosophers - and looks into various strategies of
destabilizing normative binaries.</div>

"This
book is a must-read for students and scholars of teratology, monsters, the
fantastic, and the detested other. Spanning a fascinating gulf of disciplines
and genres, the authors illustrate just how interconnected we are with the
monsters in our midst and the extent to which our understandable desire to
define ourselves in opposition to the monstrous both creates and destroys the
barriers between the human and the other. This book will change the way you
think about crime, victimhood, knowledge, the normal, and our own place in the
universe. From Dracula to the Holocaust, from gender to disability, this book
challenges our own belief in the possibility of self-knowledge and questions
the foundations of our self-defined humanity.' </div>

"All too
often topics are betrayed in their treatment - creativity is discussed
unimaginatively, art is approached unartfully or even artlessly, philosophy
itself taken up thoughtlessly (at least without sufficiently sustained, probing
thoughtfulness). Not so in this instance. Indeed, the category of monstrosity
is itself monstrous. It is at once dependent upon traditional distinctions
between the normal and a forever shifting array of opposites and in conflict
with those historically entrenched dichotomies. The essays in this volume
exhibit in detail the monstrous - in the sense of both the frighteningly huge
and fiercely unsettling - force of this philosophical category. They do so in
reference to a broad spectrum of cultural phenomena. The editors' finely
crafted introduction however provides a useful map to this vast terrain.' </div>

"This
collection of essays offers more than a unique contribution to social theory -
it is a comprehensive framework for understanding how humans construct
otherness. The work is critical for law since judges, police, and other legal
actors repeatedly construct the criminal as monster, which lays the foundation
for punishment that knows no bounds, including death. In an age of mass
incarceration and fears of terrorism, this work is as timely as it is
fascinating." </div>

Kate Egan addresses this fact and deals with it respectably. This means that she deals with the effect of retroactive cult-making, when the sequels strengthen the status of the original film, "the illicit little brother" (called so due to its crude low budget origins and various goofs of the inexperienced crew). As she puts it: "The wider popularity of the two sequels has therefore served, for many fans and critics, to further emphasize the low-budget, amateur qualities of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Evil Dead</i></b> and to turn it into the neglected and marginalized bad little brother of the trilogy: the film that has retained a 'cult' following and thus fully deserves, even for those who prefer the sequels, the 'cult' badge of honor" (p. 52).</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFD90qG979TBT19Z8LKmy4-NnoIgeQTodcK2zgB_jnat27kkW0mbsakxcd9KKG3gYLdwC8C1GaSpSrf30DY4KcDER7qWpmkwN1K-jmygC62cWFBmlXjp9mpo4pSTGcrare9K54v-iosHG3/s1600/THE+EVIL+DEAD+%25285%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFD90qG979TBT19Z8LKmy4-NnoIgeQTodcK2zgB_jnat27kkW0mbsakxcd9KKG3gYLdwC8C1GaSpSrf30DY4KcDER7qWpmkwN1K-jmygC62cWFBmlXjp9mpo4pSTGcrare9K54v-iosHG3/s320/THE+EVIL+DEAD+%25285%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a><span lang="EN-US"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;"><span lang="EN-US">Finally, another problem with <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Evil Dead</i></b> is that this particular film is intrinsically critic-proof.

The "ideological ambiguity" that many critics recognized in reference to cult movies in this case should be virtual "ideological irrelevance". For this reason the author's analysis of gender issues ("a particularly male nightmare" – since Ash's opponents are mostly possessed <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">women</i>) seems a bit forced, and the same can be said for the attempts to connect <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Evil Dead</i></b>'s cosmos with the worldview of H.

Even more, some of those readings are presented in a convincing manner, as when she discusses the use of grotesque splatstick humor for creating malevolent Lovecraftian implications for the characters and the world they inhabit, "a perspective from which all human life (including romance and sex) is meaningless and all the characters, including Ash, are ultimately at the mercy of the abyss of irrational evil that the demons represent in the film" (p. 86).</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1iFPvDSY_w73mYn-bE2LdkDTju8mi6wAAV8336thSLy720nc_p6M80oL4ftSVmZDVn1IuJq0aSLMB1fxZRm7vnuR8w-5RZsQg8kQ4tqP_5jv_tktcfEWqZeE92dyl6tr1fF_398vyJoj0/s1600/THE+EVIL+DEAD+%25282%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1iFPvDSY_w73mYn-bE2LdkDTju8mi6wAAV8336thSLy720nc_p6M80oL4ftSVmZDVn1IuJq0aSLMB1fxZRm7vnuR8w-5RZsQg8kQ4tqP_5jv_tktcfEWqZeE92dyl6tr1fF_398vyJoj0/s320/THE+EVIL+DEAD+%25282%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a><span lang="EN-US"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">The Evil Dead</span></i></b><span lang="EN-US"> is convincingly contextualized in various terms:</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;"><span lang="EN-US">- in its director's opus (trying out the film technique and drawing attention to himself as the main driving forces behind it), </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;"><span lang="EN-US">- in the horror genre (especially its connection to comedy), </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;"><span lang="EN-US">- the generic trends (the rise of special make-up efx extravaganzas in early 1980s; the significance of genre magazines like <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Fangoria</i></b> and genre conventions as further venues for cultivating the cult),</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;"><span lang="EN-US">- the distribution practices and media (the decline of drive-in, the rise of video market),</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;"><span lang="EN-US">- the role of new technologies and media (DVD and internet as tools for enhancing and prolonging the cult), </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;"><span lang="EN-US">- controversies of reception ("video nasty" label in UK) and evaluation (retroactive effect of sequels upon the original film's perception), etc.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid2bYGxUnoOxI2EjKzT0-ffZsy6uDoWmiUfdJ-bUdropu2IJDIkD64QOMjpjHXIgn0vWDfI-HA_edboZoSJyu1rFsan0rNpYFfrm-_1HppNl_Ooqr9c_gF7bZeqLmSDp96OvjdYF_vql84/s1600/THE+EVIL+DEAD+%25283%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid2bYGxUnoOxI2EjKzT0-ffZsy6uDoWmiUfdJ-bUdropu2IJDIkD64QOMjpjHXIgn0vWDfI-HA_edboZoSJyu1rFsan0rNpYFfrm-_1HppNl_Ooqr9c_gF7bZeqLmSDp96OvjdYF_vql84/s320/THE+EVIL+DEAD+%25283%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a><span lang="EN-US"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;"><span lang="EN-US">A strong emphasis is put on internet forums, especially comments from IMDb users, many of whom would be surprised to find themselves quoted in a publication like this one. The analysis of their comments serves to demonstrate and illustrate the cult-audience response to this trilogy, but perhaps these quotes occupy a bit too much space of this brief study to be really relevant. Since there are literally thousands of such, throughout message boards all across the internet, these samples are at the same time too few and too many. Perhaps a serious statistical analysis of those remains for a researcher with some other goals.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9iGzcNVXDYbdlKIdbo0DgCHJp7uJY9y24mqdU6Dz4B-c5dJwsYNDZDhoxLkNneWe0GfDgkRwvHLSIg1J5aIsMPfD9v9tGS71K0N215NzBt2Q2D9HA6XukYwdFut41b8vR-vCBHM_2vEI8/s1600/THE+EVIL+DEAD+%25287%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9iGzcNVXDYbdlKIdbo0DgCHJp7uJY9y24mqdU6Dz4B-c5dJwsYNDZDhoxLkNneWe0GfDgkRwvHLSIg1J5aIsMPfD9v9tGS71K0N215NzBt2Q2D9HA6XukYwdFut41b8vR-vCBHM_2vEI8/s320/THE+EVIL+DEAD+%25287%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a><span lang="EN-US"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #93c47d; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;"><span lang="EN-US">All in all, this is another valuable addition to a quality series: if you liked the previous books you'll probably be satisfied with this one, too. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #93c47d;">PS: It's a pity that this book is "illustrated" literally with thumbnail photos (approx. size 1,5 x 1 inch).
