John M. Stephens, Dick Bush. Perhaps more soul destroying than epic films which are never made (Jodorowsky’s Dune and Welles’ Heart of Darkness spring to mind) are the films, which are made but not seen on their release due to circumstance. Sorcerer suffered an even crueler twist of fate being released on the same day as: Star Wars. Friedkin concentrated on a retelling of 1953’s The Wages of Fear. It tells a story of four desperados who have to transport nitroglycerin across South American jungle in ...

LEAVE HER TO HEAVEN (1945). John M. Stahl. William A. Bacher. Leave Her To Heaven. A film filled with gooey sentiment, a cringe worthy ending and a terrible support cast (even Vincent Price hams it up). In lieu of all these clangers, why is Leave Her To Heaven one of the most spellbinding and disturbing films I’ve ever watched? In part it’s down to the fact that this is a filmic curiosity. It’s a film noir yet shot in brilliant Technicolor. It’s filled with physiological terror out in the open not indoors.

LA BÊTE / THE BEAST (1975). Bernard Daillencourt, Marcel Grignon. Walerian Borowcyk, a Polish director with a flair for fantasy porn vaguely masked as erotic arthouse, outdid himself with. Everything from puppetry erections, masturbating with a rose, bestial fellatio, is in this filmic curiosity. Put it this way, it’s the only film I’ve seen where an 18. C damsel gets raped by a puppet beast, then on the turn of a dime -likes it- then proceeds to demand more before getting synthetic cum all over her tits.

If you like your buttocks raw but you don’t want to pay someone for privilege, clocking in at 417 minutes is Les Vampires, a crime serial that debuted all the way back in 1915. Les Vampires was shot in the middle of World War 1, which means some of the extras and smaller parts had to be written out when the actors were called up to the Western Front. It’s tidbits like this which make Les Vampires feel like you’re watching a piece of history as much as a fantasy detective saga. The advertising campaign th...

Roko Belic, Adrian Belic. Filmmaker Roko Belic follows Paul Pena; a blind, accomplished guitarist into the heartlands of Tuva to seek out and compete in the triennial throatsinging festival there. Roko went on to be nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the Academy Awards but has been largely quiet since with the exception of 2011’s ‘Happy’ shot over 12 different countries in collaboration with Tom Shadyac (Liar Lair, Bruce Almighty) as he tries to find a common thread about positive psychology in to...

QUATERMASS AND THE PIT (1967). Also known as: FIVE MILLION YEARS TO EARTH. Dir: Roy Ward Baker. Producer: Anthony Nelson Keys. Prince George has just been presented before us all while I’m writing a film review about the awakening of a new insect overlord on planet earth. Whatever the reason, before we’re impaled in the throne room by 9 foot high Praying Mantis it’s time to get some salted popcorn and blob out to ‘Quatermass and the Pit’, the last of the Quatermass films. Can it be explained with science?

Cinematography: Ted C. Bemiller. I’ve stumbled upon antiquated animators living in the farthest flung inhabitations known to mother earth, scrambling and eeking out some living. In short, animation isn’t for those slight of heart or the steady of foot. Considering the profession positively invites opening your veins in a bathtub it’s a strange world we live in that animators are generally paid to draw Disney princesses, happiness and light.

THE BLACK HOLE (1979). Too horrific to be considered a children’s film yet too hokey to be shown back to back with ‘Halloween’, ‘The Black Hole’ over the years has entered obscurity due to its unclassifiable nature. A modest success on its release in 1979, this is Disney at its darkest. Involving its first on screen death (Bambi’s mother doesn’t count), and body / machine fusion-ing (where does a human end and a machine begin? It’s a film that is as raw and unsettling as it is beautiful. Try watching him...
