MURDEROUS PASSIONS



Jesús 'Jess' Franco is an iconic figure in world cinema. His sexually charged, fearlessly personal style of filmmaking has never been in vogue with mainstream critics, but for lovers of the strange and sado-erotic he is a magician, spinning his unique and disturbing dream worlds from the cheapest of budgets.

In the world of Jess Franco freedom was the key, and he pushed at the boundaries of taste and censorship over and over again, throughout an astonishingly varied career spanning sixty years. The director of more than 180 films, at his most prolific he reached a supercharged frenzy that yielded as many as twelve films per year, making him one of the most prolific filmmakers of all time.

24 Sep 2015: Cinematic Ghosts: Haunting and Spectrality from Silent Cinema to the Digital Era



In 1896, Maxim Gorky declared cinema "the Kingdom of Shadows." In its silent, ashen-grey world, he saw a land of spectral, and ever since then cinema has had a special relationship with the haunted and the ghostly. Cinematic Ghosts is the first collection devoted to this subject, including fourteen new essays, dedicated to exploring the many permutations of the movies' phantoms. Cinematic Ghosts contains essays revisiting some classic ghost films within the genres of horror (The Haunting, 1963), romance (Portrait of Jennie, 1948), comedy (Beetlejuice, 1988) and the art film (Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives, 2010), as well as essays dealing with a number of films from around the world, from Sweden to China. Cinematic Ghosts traces the archetype of the cinematic ghost from the silent era until today, offering analyses from a range of historical, aesthetic and theoretical dimensions.

30 Jun 2015 Extreme Asia: The Rise of Cult Cinema from the Far East



How shrewd marketing engineered the East Asian cult film boom in the UK. Japanese horror. South Korean revenge thrillers. The new Hong Kong crime film. Western audiences have experienced a boom in cult cinema from East Asia over the last decade, discovering films that have provoked passion and outrage in equal measure. This book charts the history of the recent cult Asian film invasion, covering a five year period and focusing on the activities of the distribution company Metro Tartan and their incredibly influential 'Asia Extreme' brand. Through a series of case studies of individual film releases and other exhibition events, Extreme Asia examines strategies of film promotion and consumption in the context of theories of horror cinema, movie marketing, reception studies, and Orientalism. It covers the rise and fall of the Asia Extreme label, and the enduring legacy of an unforgettable wave of cult cinema from Japan, Hong Kong and South Korea. Provides clear timeline of the key points and film releases in the UK, demonstrating the movement's growing popularity and cultural impact on a film by film basis; based on extensive research and exclusive access to marketing materials and interviews; explains the cultural and economic factors behind the rise of the most notorious East Asian horror and action films of the current generation and detailed case studies of such seminal cult hits as Battle Royale, Oldboy, Audition, Infernal Affairs, Ring, and The Isle.

The Revolting Child in Horror Film - Youth Rebellion and Queer Spectatorship

Andrew Scahill October 2015 - Palgrave Macmillan

Drawing together film theory, queer theory, childhood studies, and reception studies, The Revolting Child in Horror Film explores the possibilities of 'not growing up' as a model for a queer praxis that confronts the notion of heternormative maturity. Many horror films are homophobic in their anxiety about nonnormative childhood and yet they provide a space for queer pleasure. The monstrous child is the allegorical queer child in various formations of horror cinema: the child with a secret, the child "possessed" by Otherness, the changeling child, the terrible gang. As gays and lesbians have been culturally deemed "arrested" in their maturity, the link between queer and childhood has always been a tacit one.

The Spark of Fear: Technology, Society and the Horror Film  Brian N. Duchaney



The allure of the horror film is varied. Some prefer the voyeurism of watching others suffer. Some enjoy the cinematic depiction of gore. Still, others are tempted by the psychological torment of watching others in danger. The Spark of Fear: Technology, Society, and the Horror Film explores all of these elements through one unifying element: the rise of technology in the modern world. The horror genre is continually embroiled in reinvention; this is apparent in how the horror film explores technology as a manner for exposing everyday fears. This book details the ways by which the horror film exploits our continued reliance on technology, presenting a society that is in a continuous state of reinvention. As new technologies present previously unrealized methods, through which our daily anxieties and phobias are re-examined, our perception of horror in the modern world has been under a continued state of reassessment. This text seeks to determine precisely why our technologies are a source of fear. Focusing on the major technologies that have evolved the American Dream, from the advent of electricity to the modern cellular telephone, The Spark of Fear is an examination of technology as a perceived antidote of having to become a victim to the horrific realization of everyday life. In technology, humanity has sought to conquer fears of the unknown that previous modes of horror established as the essence of human fears. But, as the safety found in society has eroded amid the isolationist tendencies that modern technologies afford, the horror film has become the central location in which the new concept of horror has been established, one that exploits our reliance on technology and connection as the very source of our modern notion of horror.

Originalno emitovano u Oktobru-Novembru 2014 - ja sam ga pogledao tada - tipican Andrew Graham-Dixon dokumetarac. Relativno zabavnih tri sata fokusirani iskljucivo na British-Gothic. Po meni - Graham-Dixon previse relativizuje zanr da bi podigao appeal emisije, svejedno, vrijedi pogledati.



Andrew Graham-Dixon explores how a group of 19th-century architects and artists spurned the modern age and turned to Britain's medieval past to create iconic works and buildings.

Дејане, можеш ли да питаш Ненада како пушта Blu-ray? Са оптичког диска или тврдог диска? Иде ли превод? Ако иде, како то сређује? Ако одговори на ова питања представљају пословну тајну, онда ништа. Ја имам неколико идеја у вези овога. Хвала и уздравље

beki nije bio na projekciji sinoc jer nocas putuje.
ne znam sa cega i kako tacno pustaju, ali znam da je islo sa legalnog br diska.
srp. prevoda nije bilo, samo eng. titlovi za gluve.

1) да ли је диск Arrow Video или Synapse Films?
2) тон енглески или италијански?

ne znam, nisam video disk niti je na pocetku pisalo, ali mislim da je beki kupio ovo sto je izaslo prosle godine, dakle, sinapse.

ton engleski.

izvestaj by nevidljivi:

Uvod u ovogodišnji drugi po redu Festival fantastične književnosti Art-Anima je prošao više nego uspešno – piše PISB. Preko 80 ljudi je došlo u podrum knjižare Plato, na predavanje "Legenda o besmrtnosti: Vampir u folkloru, književnosti i filmu", koje je održao dr Tomislav Longinović, profesor slavistike i uporedne književnosti na Univerzitetu Viskonsin.

Dr Longinović je svoje predavanje održao iz više delova, počevši prvo sa tri teorije, od brojnih, koje se bave fantastikom, da bi se okrenuo istoriji i legendi o besmrtnosti – koja postoji još u epu o Gilgamešu, pa se proteže dalje kroz istoriju i književnost, a nama je najbliža kroz hrišćanstvo, da bi se i vampir pojavio kao jedno od vidova besmrnosti. Prvi izveštaji o njemu se mogu naći u bečkoj štampi u XVIII veku, a interesantno je da je između 1725. i 1740. bilo dosta naučnih radova koji su se bavili temom vampirizma, dok je vampir kao kulturna ikona ipak nastao kasnije.

Dr Tomislav Longinović je potom prešao na priču o sopstvenom doprinosu teme o vampirima kroz tri paradigme – volšebnu, racionalnu i nomadsku, potanko ih obrazlažući.

Usledila je i jedna ilustracija – francuska priča iz XIX veka koja oslikava sve pobrojane paragigme, ali uvodi i motiv seksualnosti koji je kasnije sve više uplivavao u priče o vampirima, na ovaj ili onaj način. Ako je u književnosti i na filmu vampir zavodnik, postoje slučajevi u kojima su ljubavnici koristili vampira (ljubavnik sa belim čaršavom prebačen preko glave) da bi se "opravdali" pred selom, ali im to nije uvek prolazilo, kao u jednom slučaju u Srbiji iz 19. veka gde su takvi "domišljati" ljubavnici raskrinkani i obešeni.

Usledila su pitanja prisutnih, među kojima je bilo i domaćih vrsnih poznavalaca horora – dr Dejan Ognjanović i dr Marko Pišev, kao i onih koji će svoja akademska zvanja da dobiju radeći radove iz oblasti vampirizma. Stoga ni ne čudi da je predavanje bilo snimano čitavim redom mobilnih telefona!

Jedna od zanimljivosti bila je vezana za pitanje postavljeno dr Longinoviću o sličnim stvorenjima u ostatku sveta, gde je on naveo primer iz Afrike i neprevodivom terminu iz Konga o vatrogascima koji, navodno (zbog crvenih kamiona) otimaju ljude i vade im krv, da bi se potom ta krv prebacila u Belgiju, i tamo iskoristila za pravljenje bombona (crvenih), koje se potom vraćaju u Afriku i prodaju tamošnjim stanovnicima!

Да, буџетни диск Синапсе које има знатно бољу слику од издања Арова али нема италијански тон. Претпостављам да је било мало публике чим се плаћа карта и да се нико није бунио због изостанка српског титла јер су гледаоци образовани.

EDINBURGH UNIVERSITY PRESS, Nov 2015 - Hardback, 224 pages

Contemporary British Horror Cinema: Industry, Genre and Society - offers a scholarly overview of UK horror film production since the year 2000, analysing the cultural and economic context of the genre's revival in close detail.  Drawing on significant industrial practices, writers, directors and filmic trends, the book analyses issues of production and representation in relation to some of the most popular and obscure films.  Combining industrial research and primary interview material with detailed textual analysis, the book aims to look beyond the dominant paradigms which have explained away British horror in the past, and sheds light on one of the most dynamic and distinctive, yet scarcely talked about, areas of contemporary British film production. The book considers high profile theatrical releases, as well as direct-to-DVD and self-distributed movies, to give as full a picture as possible of British horror film production in the twenty-first century.

ISTORIJA VAMPIRIZMA
Srpski vampir napada svoje selo



http://www.blic.rs/Kultura/Vesti/566326/ISTORIJA-VAMPIRIZMA-Srpski-vampir-napada-svoje-selo

ZELIĆ & BULIĆ OBJAŠNJAVAJU:

U ponedeljak 15. juna, s početkom u 19.30 časova, u Klubu Doma omladine Beograda biće održana tribina "Žanr – pro et contra", na kojoj će Vanja Bulić i Pavle Zelić govoriti o vrednostima i nedostacima žanrovske književnosti.




Samo pominjanje žanra u našem književnom establišmentu se dočekuje sa podozrenjem. Samim tim, žanrovsko opredeljenje se smatra književnom formom lišenom umetničke vrednosti. S druge strane, pre svega istorijski trileri, profilisani su u novije vreme kao najpopularnija književna podvrsta. Ove knjige se "gutaju" i ne silaze sa vrhova književnih top-lista. Tribina "Žanr – pro et contra" nudi moguće odgovore za rešavanje ovog paradoksa.

Zašto je "Ime ruže" Umberta Eka vrhunsko umetničko delo, a "Da Vinčijev kod" Dena Brauna palp? Zbog čega Edgar Alan Po danas nosi akademsku odoru, a Stiven King ne? Koliko je istraživački rad bitan za nastanak dela? Kada i u kojoj meri fikcija može nadomestiti pomanjkanje istorijskih izvora? Da li su nekadašnji roto-romani promenili stanište i prešli iz kioska u knjižare? Kako je Pekićevo "Besnilo" uspelo da pomiri publiku i kritiku? Razmišlja li pisac koji će holivudski glumac igrati glavnog junaka već na prvoj nenapisanoj stranici? Mogu li Nemanjići ili Josip Broz da postanu detektivi?

Novinar, scenarista i književnik, Vanja Bulić, objašnjava kako je otvorio Simeonov pečat, sačuvao Jovanovo zaveštanje, otkrio Dosije Bogorodice i šta nosi Teslina pošiljka. Jedan od najdarovitijih pisaca mlađe generacije, Pavle Zelić, nas vodi na književno putovanje od kafane Dardaneli do močvarišta budućeg Novog Beograda.

poslednjih nekoliko dana se dopisujem s tomasom ligotijem.

između ostalog, poslao sam mu tekstove moje dve kritike knjiga, njegove, i 'o njemu', The Spectral Link i GRIMSCRIBE'S PUPPETS, koje su izašle u magazinu Rue Morgue.

on mi na to, pored ostalog, odgovara:

"You're a good reviewer, if I may say. That's a form of writing I never felt within my ability, which is why I've never published any reviews. Most people think it's an easy and simple form, but it isn't—it just looks that way. I appreciate that. I thought both reviews were balanced and thoughtful..."

5 Simple Ways To Make Horror Movies Stop Sucking

Digital Horror: Haunted Technologies, Network Panic and the Found Footage Phenomenon


Publisher: I.B.Tauris, 30. 7. 2015, 224 pages, Xavier Aldana Reyes & Linnie Blake

In recent years, the ways in which digital technologies have come to shape our experience of the world has been an immensely popular subject in the horror film genre. Contemporary horror cinema reflects and exploits the anxieties of our age, in its increasing use of hand-held techniques and in its motifs of surveillance, found footage (fictional films that appear 'real': comprising discovered video recordings left behind by victims/protagonists) and 'digital haunting' (when ghosts inhabit digital technologies). This book offers an exploration of the digital horror film phenomenon, across different national cultures and historic periods, examining the sub-genres of CCTV horror, technological haunting, snuff films, found footage and torture porn. Digital horror, it demonstrates, is a product of the post 9/11 neo-liberal world view - characterised by security paranoia, constant surveillance and social alienation. Digital horror screens its subjects via the trans-national technologies of our age - such as the camcorder and CCTV - and records them in secret footage that may, one day, be found.

The Canadian Horror Film: Terror of the Soul

University of Toronto Press - Andre Loiselle -  30 November 2015 - 302 pages

From the cheaply made "tax-shelter" films of the 1970s to the latest wave of contemporary "eco-horror," Canadian horror cinema has rarely received much critical attention. Gina Freitag and Andre Loiselle rectify that situation in The Canadian Horror Film with a series of thought-provoking reflections on Canada's "terror of the soul," a wasteland of docile damnation and prosaic pestilence where savage beasts and mad scientists rub elbows with pasty suburbanites, grumpy seamen, and baby-faced porn stars. Featuring chapters on Pontypool, Ginger Snaps, 1970s slasher films, Quebec horror, and the work of David Cronenberg, among many others, The Canadian Horror Film unearths the terrors hidden in the recesses of the Canadian psyche. It examines the highlights of more than a century of Canadian horror filmmaking and includes an extensive filmography to guide both scholars and enthusiasts alike through this treacherous terrain.

An Introduction to European Horror Cinema - Russ Hunter - EDINBURGH UNIVERSITY PRESS - 224p - 1 February 2016

European cinema is feted as both original and daring, challenging and sometimes controversial: it has created some of the most memorable horror films ever made and produced some of its most visionary and influential practitioners. Drawing together the story of European horror, this textbook traces its earliest roots in both the European carnival circuit and grand guignol theatre before examining its varied, often fragmented, development. Sometimes an outward-looking phenomenon, sometimes extremely insular, the diverse and interlinked histories of the European horror film in all their manifestations are explored a series of chronological chapters. The accompanying case studies examine key films in each period: Dog Soldiers, The Cabinet of Dr Caligari, Dracula, Suspiria and Let the Right One In. This overview of the varied and connected histories and movements of European horror cinema is an ideal resource for students of horror and European cinema alike.

It especially reaches into to the mass market aspects of vampire life in television and the movies from Bela Lugosi's Dracula to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, True Blood , and the Twilight Saga . Beginning with vampire folklore, the volume covers historical writings, the vampire in literature, the cinema and television, and its widespread appearing in academic writings and its presence among true believers who want nothing more than to become a child of the night.

Gender and the Nuclear Family in Twenty-First-Century Horror

Palgrave MacMillan - Kimberly Jackson - 220 pages -  3 December 2015

Gender and the Nuclear Family in Twenty-First-Century Horror is the first book-length project to focus specifically on the ways that patriarchal decline and post-feminist ideology are portrayed in popular American horror films of the twenty-first century. Through analyses of such films as Orphan, Insidious, and Carrie, Kimberly Jackson reveals how the destruction of male figures and the depictions of female monstrosity in twenty-first-century horror cinema suggest that contemporary American culture finds itself at a cultural standstill between a post-patriarchal society and post-feminist ideology.

Monstrous Adaptations: Generic and Thematic Mutations in Horror Film

MANCHESTER UNIVERSITY PRESS - Richard J. Hand - 260 pages - 1 November 2015

The fifteen groundbreaking essays contained in this book address the concept of adaptation in relation to horror cinema. Adaptation is not only a key cultural practice and strategy for filmmakers, but it is also a theme of major importance within horror cinema as a hole. The history of the genre is full of adaptations that have drawn from fiction or folklore, or that have assumed the shape of remakes of pre-existing films. The horror genre itself also abounds with its own myriad transformations and transmutations. The essays within this volume engage with an impressive range of horror texts, from the earliest silent horror films by Thomas Edison and Jean Epstein through to important contemporary phenomena, such as the western appropriation of Japanese horror motifs. Classic works by Alfred Hitchcock, David Cronenberg and Abel Ferrara receive cutting-edge re-examination, as do unjustly neglected works by Mario Bava, Guillermo del Toro and Stan Brakhage.

Terrors of Uncertainty: The Cultural Contexts of Horror Fiction

ROUTLEDGE - Joseph Grixti - Paperback, 234 pages - 12 December 2015 - Reprint

From Frankenstein and Dracula to Psycho and The Chainsaw Massacre, horror fiction has provided our culture with some of its most enduring themes and narratives. Considering horror fiction both as a genre and as a social phenomenon, Joseph Grixti provides a theoretical and historical framework for reconsidering horror and the cultural apparatus that surrounds it. First published in 1989, this book looks at shifts in the genre's meaning - its fascination with excess, its commentaries on the categories and boundaries of culture - and at interpretations of horror from psychology, psychoanalysis, sociology, cultural and media studies. Terrors of Uncertainty brings together a provocative range of perspectives from across the disciplines, which combine to raise important questions about the relationship between fiction and society, and the way in which we use fiction to resolve or evade our fears of uncertainty.

Beyond Terror : The Films of Lucio Fulci

FAB Press - Stephen Thrower - 348 pages -  16 Nov 2015 - New edition, Revised

'Violence is Italian art!' Lucio Fulci Italy's Master of the Macabre Lucio Fulci is celebrated in this lavishly illustrated in-depth study of his extraordinary films. From horror masterpieces like The Beyond and Zombie Flesh-Eaters to erotic thrillers like One On Top of the Other and A Lizard in a Woman's Skin; from his earliest days as director of manic Italian comedies to his notoriety as purveyor of extreme violence in the terrifying slasher epic The New York Ripper, his whole career is explored. Supernatural themes and weird logic collide with flesh-ripping gore to breathtaking effect. Bleak horrors are transformed into bloody poetry - Fulci's loving camera technique, and the decayed splendour of his art design, make the films more than just a gross endurance test. Lucio Fulci built up a fanatical following, who at last will have the chance to own this book - five years in the making - which is the ultimate testament to 'The Godfather of Gore'. Featuring a foreword by Fulci's devoted daughter Antonella, and produced with her blessing and full co-operation. This book is quite simply the last word on Fulci. His whole career is studied in obsessive depth. Huge supplementary appendices make this volume essential for all serious students of the Italian horror movie scene. Featuring COMPLETE FILMOGRAPHIES for ALL the major actors and actresses ever to appear in Fulci films, the appendices alone are a unique, breathtakingly detailed reference source in their own right. Without doubt, by far and away the largest collection of Fulci posters, stills, press-books and lobby cards ever seen together in print. We have scoured the Earth to find the most stunning, rare and eye-catching Fulci images. Everything worth seeing is here. This is a truly beautiful book.
