Fantasia 2010: Neil Marshall Interview

Fantasia 2010: Neil Marshall Interview

Thanks to Neil Marshall’s 2005 horror film The Descent, about a group of spelunking women attacked by hideous carnivorous bat-boy monsters, my wife is now afraid of caves, Weekly World News covers, and girls’ nights out. If Marshall’s latest film Centurion, in which a Roman legion is attacked by Picts in 2nd century England, is [...]

Fantasia 2010: Interview: Christopher Smith

Fantasia 2010: Interview: Christopher Smith

Don’t worry. Though director Chris Smith—who made a name for himself with tense, tightly scripted genre gems Creep, Severance, and Triangle—may be tackling lofty themes of right, wrong, and the religions in between with his new film Black Death. But there’s still plenty of necromancy and “heads on sticks,” he promises. Which is great. I’ve [...]

Intervew With Neverlost Writer/Director Chad Archibald

Intervew With Neverlost Writer/Director Chad Archibald

Initially, I was somewhat wary of Chad Archibald’s Neverlost, the Guelph-shot genre film premiering at Fantasia tomorrow. After all, its story of a failed screenwriter living in squalor while struggling with insomnia and depression sounds like a documentary about my early twenties, except with fewer Star Trek conventions. But the film ended up being an [...]

Interview with Steven R. Monroe and Meir Zarchi’s, directors of I Spit On Your Grave

Interview with Steven R. Monroe and Meir Zarchi’s, directors of I Spit On Your Grave

Over the years, Meir Zarchi’s 1978 rape-revenge film I Spit on Your Grave (aka Day of the Woman) has been labeled everything from an expression of raw, feminist rage to a cinematic sex offense. And there’s no doubt that Steven R. Monroe’s 2010 remake be equally polarizing, as it’s more graphically violent by at least [...]

Fantasia 2010 – Interview: Herschell Gordon Lewis, Godfather of Gore

Fantasia 2010 – Interview: Herschell Gordon Lewis, Godfather of Gore

——————— The amazing thing about the horror films of Herschell Gordon Lewis is not that they were shocking in 1960s. From what I gather from classic rock radio stations and Partridge Family reruns, vibrantly coloured juice raised eyebrows prior to at least 1975. No, what’s amazing about films like 1963’s Blood Feast and 1964’s Two [...]

Interview with Director Anthony Fabian of Skin

Interview with Director Anthony Fabian of Skin

By William S. Gooch At first glance, Anthony Fabian draws a strong resemblance to Alan Cummings, so I expected him to be funny, which he was; witty, which he undoubtedly is, and a bit irreverent, which I saw shades of as well. Maybe because he’s British, I was slightly offset by his relaxed charm and [...]

A conversation with Gerard Johnson the writer/director of the British serial killer film Tony.

A conversation with Gerard Johnson the writer/director of the British serial killer film Tony.

A conversation with Gerard Johnson By Nick Martin Movies about serial killers have an odd niche in our cultural lexicon. A sub-genre that was first embraced by cult filmists now walks a fine line between obscurity and mainstream. Films such as Jonathan Demme’s Silence of the Lambs and David Fincher’s Se7en seem to strike an [...]

Interview with Nathan and Seth Anderson, co-directors of Black

Interview with Nathan and Seth Anderson, co-directors of Black

SOS: This is your second short film. What would you say was the most difficult part of the entire process? SA: I think each film presents its own unique challenges, and like our previous short The Merciful Death of Jonas Blake, major hurdles presented themselves at each stage of production. It’s difficult to pinpoint one [...]

Interview with George A. Romero

Interview with George A. Romero

George A. Romero knows what scares you. He also knows what your insides look like, and since 1968’s Night of the Living Dead, he’s been putting both on display in what’s now an epic six film zombie series. The first three films in the hexalogy, widely regarded as classics of the horror genre, were released [...]

Interview: Jose Mojica Marins & Dennison Ramalho

Interview: Jose Mojica Marins & Dennison Ramalho

In 1964, while the rest of the world was watching Mary Poppins take school kids on acid trips, Brazil was thrilling to the exploits of Coffin Joe, a character mixing the best parts of Anton LaVey, Count Dracula, and a homeless old man. Considered Brazil’s first horror film, At Midnight I’ll Take Your Soul was [...]
