Train to Busan (directed by Yeon Sang-ho 2016)

January 13, 2017

I had a friend who sold his cherished Zombie board game. He used to play and collect a lot of zombie paraphernalia and meet up with his friends and play zombie games for days& nights. The death knell of Zombie industry seems upon us. The genre has been milked and over-exploited so even HC fans…

“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…

October 8, 2015 Respond

Parallels is a recent sci-fi movie based on a story by Leona and Laura Harkom. It is by all means a minor movie, maybe the least one to attract attention or enter the competition for the most innovative indie science fiction movie of the year. Nevertheless, I want to thank V Leac for pointing this…
The Lift/De lift [Dick Maas 1983]

February 23, 2015 Respond

The Lift is an incredible slick horror, neon-drenched 80s movie, perfect for late-night watching by dutch director Dick Maas [Amsterdamned 1988]. I would associate it with such weird midnight circuit movies as X-TRO [Harry Bromley Davenport 1982] or new flesh Videodrome – a style celebrated by Panos Cosmatos in Beyond the Black Rainbow. The Lift…

I would like to follow in a few movies the abrasive, deleterious and mutilating…
