400 DAYS (Matt Osterman, 2015)
400 Days is a true classic of the eerie, it makes it easily into my top 10 of the last years. I consider that it carries and brings to fruition the unspoken space program preparation doom of such Cold War era classics as Outer Limits or Twilight Zone. The weird is palpable – oozing, leaking…

10 Cloverfield Lane (Dan Trachtenberg 2016)
Ever wonder what other new Stephen King books or stories are being brought to the big screen nowadays? Except of Cell (2016) I really dunno of anything. Another explanation may be the fact that this whole SK spirit has been spread out – absorbed by others nowadays. 10 Cloverfield Lane is a new mystery horror…

“Look I didn’t create the problem. Robotics did the farming, mining, manufacturing, construction… Everything. Left an unemployed population with a lot of free time. So I keep them entertained. I make them comfortable. So I gave them each their own channel. When human life became worthless I gave it Value” – Mr Flak founder of…

EXAELLA (anime 2011 by Andrew Oudot)
I restarted watching anime after a 4 or 5 year break. Exaella implodes with abyssal nausea, grime and orgiastic megastructures, familiar to the cavernous works of Tsutomu Nihei, so maybe that was my first cue. That being said, I truly feel we have a new and promising breed of anime: a Russian-Japanese-English production directed by…

Drifting Classroom (1987 Nobuhiko Obayashi)
After the late rediscovery of his surreal horror classic Hausu (1977), Nobuhiko Obayashi was being considered as one of the Japan’s best kept secrets. Drifting Classroom is an unintentional monster of a movie (not just a monster movie!). Obayashi practically massacred Kazuo Umezu manga original, and along the way transformed it into a weird cult classic. The…

DIE GSTETTENSAGA: The Rise of Echsenfriedl [a postapocalyptic TV movie by Johannes Grenzfurthner 2014]
I recently had the rare satisfaction to watch a preview of a steaming fresh postapocalyptic feature film + a directorial debut, that premiered on Austria’s ORF in March this year. What I was asking myself this time was to try and appreciate an entirely different kind of algorithmic force that was once again set loose…
