Just uploaded is a review of Intruder, the 1989 feature directorial debut by Scott Spiegel, part of Sam Raimi’s filmmaking clique. Synapse’s nice Blu-ray / DVD combo set features a 2K transfer of the Director’s Cut, of which the highlight is a realistic head-sawing sequence with prosthetics designed by the brilliantly sick folks at KNB.
Quick recap of this weekend’s interesting (to me) screenings, plus NASA’s video of the Dark Side of the Moon, and the Ontario Government’s decision to shut down most of Ontario Place forthwith, henceforce, herewith, and now, with the future of world’s first permanent IMAX theatre – the Cinesphere – up in the air.
In Part II, I review The Poor Ones / Zavallilar (1975), recently screened at the TIFF Bell Lightbox as part of their series The Way Home: The Films of Turkish Master Yilmaz Güney.
Reviews of Ti West’s latest shocker, The Innkeepers, and Jeff Grace’s soundtrack album (Screamworks / MovieScore Media), plus some opinionated blather regarded big stupid actor heads.
This week the TIFF Bell Lightbox launches its 2-month series Attack the Bloc: Cold War Science Fiction from Behind the Iron Curtain, and I’ve added a list of what’s screening, what’s on DVD, and why these films matter.
