When the Literary Master of Horror meets Film’s Master of Horror, it’s a recipe for some truly furious cinema. That’s exactly what the result was with John Carpenter’s 1983 adaptation of Stephen King’s best selling novel Christine, another female titled tale like Carrie that dealt with the supernatural. In this case the gal in question was a demonically possessed 1958 Plymouth Fury. Thurston Harris’ good time 1957 rock n’ roll [read...] 
Artist James O’Barr’s The Crow was originally a series of indie comics that were published in the late 80s and later turned into a comprehensive graphic novel. It told the tale of Eric Draven, a Detroit based rock musician who is murdered along with his fiancee Shelly on Devil’s Night.

With his 1978 supernatural action-thriller The Fury, Director Brian DePalma dealt with a subject he had explored previously in Carrie: telekinesis. The story involves a newly retired special government agent named Peter Sandza (Kirk Douglas) whose teenage son Robin (Andrew Stevens) has special powers (although we aren’t sure exactly what they are at first). It’s soon apparent after Sandza’s associate/friend Childress (John Cassavetes) sets up a hit on him so [read...] 
Director Sergio Leone once said that music makes up 40% of a movie. That is certainly true for his films in which his composer the legendary Ennio Morricone created a unique musical landscape of sound that would take film scores to entirely new level and inspire generations of musicians both in film and in pop music. The art of film scoring and the use of soundtracks have become such an [read...] 
In 1980, a film came out that celebrated film in all it’s glory. Not so much in a serious way, but in a “your crazy ideas and dreams can come true” kind of way. Director John Landis had made several really great comedies in the 70s including Schlock, The Kentucky Fried Movie and National Lampoon’s Animal House. When Saturday Night Live alum Dan Aykroyd gave him his “script” for a [read...] 
In 1986, Alex Cox who had previously directed the sci-fi-comedy cult classic Repo Man shifted focus to another punk rock themed story, this time taking on the real life legend of Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious who was charged with killing his girlfriend Nancy Spungen after which he died from a heroin overdose upon his release from prison for a separate crime. Sid and Nancy (1986) looks at the couples’ [read...] |
