"As if the run-of-the-mill high school movie wasn’t scary enough (cough–High School Musical 3), Hollywood has been upping the ante for years by tossing unsuspecting teens into horrific situations. Audiences seem to enjoy watching vulnerable characters having the hormones scared out of them — or else they just enjoy seeing annoying teens get tortured. Every high school teen horror flick has a stereotypical cast of characters straight out of cliche-ville: the jock/hot guy, the cheerleader/hot girl, the know-it-all nerd (male or female), the misunderstood girl, the new student, and a slew of others who normally end up as a victim for the killer/monster/plague at the heart of the movie. Maybe this is one of the reasons why the acclaimed Swedish preteen vampire film Let the Right One In (which comes out in limited release tomorrow) has been so successful at festivals: it finds ways to rework the nerd/bully/bad guy constructs that Hollywood has been regurgitating in teen movies for fifty ...

"Director: Shawn KuUS, 22 minutes, colorCinema 4 Rating: 5Despite a title sure to be at least partially tempting to any horror nut, Pretty Dead Girl: A Musical Necromance turns out to be rather tame. And if you could get the subject of necrophilia past the initial tsk-tsking of your grandma, there is a good chance that she would end up at film’s end thinking the movie was rather sad and sweet, and would hardly take offense at all to what is being suggested by its potentially creepy premise.I first saw Pretty Dead Girl on some cable network sometime about a year ago. I am not sure if it was Sundance or IFC, but honestly, I mix those channels up so much that I am never able to check out any of their shows regularly. Of course, most of the shows I have seen on there are of the variety about which I don’t give a rat’s ass, except for the ones done by Henry Rollins and Jon Favreau, but honestly, even thinking really hard, I can’t remember which one of the channels ...

"From the Entertainment and Culture blog over at New York Magazine comes a list of THE TEN MOST ANTI-CHRISTIAN MOVIES OF ALL TIME. What a title, eh? 10. Carrie (1976) After the titular protagonist gets her first period at school, her crazy, devoutly Christian mother locks her in a closet and tells her to pray, explaining that only sinners menstruate (Wikipedia says this is false). Luckily, Carrie has telekinetic powers, which she uses to toss her mom across a room, electrocute her principal, and burn down her high school's gymnasium, killing hundreds of students. Parents, take note.Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =yJe0iVo8y3A "

"There will never be an ultimate scary movie since fear is a subjective idea. Fears come from experiences that have caused great tension and anxiety. The films that scare us can only grab the ones that can relate to the emotions on screen. Perhaps what I see as being a great horror story is horror of the monster of the film, but the forces around it that creates the monster. Film purists would probably suggest James Whale's Frankenstein. I suggest Brian DePalma's Carrie.In the film's first scene, we are inside a high school shower stall in which we close into a rather plain girl taking a shower. The music is somber and almost Stepfordish. Then, as we close in to Carrie's face, her hands run down her body as she bathes then comes up bloody. Even to those who knows that she's having her period are automatically jolted by the sight of blood due to the suddenness of it. But the ghoulishness of the following scene isn't the blood. In fact, the blood is not even th ... "

""Spiv " is a word the British use for someone who gets by on their wits (Americans might say "hustler" or "con") and could describe Dean Page's struggles with upward mobility in Duncan Roy's AKA. From the true story of Page's intuitive rise to comfort and privilege Roy has spun an affecting fable on self-respect, wealth, aristocracy and true class. Think of merging Pygmalion, The Talented Mr. Ripley and Catch Me If You Can, but resulting in a film successful on its' own terms. AKA is foremost about the caste system that makes self-esteem difficult if you must earn your own livelihood. Compared to the didacticism of Brecht and Shaw it is subtle and surprisingly revelatory, without the usual depiction of the moneyed class as depraved and menacing. On the contrary, in AKA we find unlikely heroes, numerous villains, plenty of blame to go around and spivs at every plateau.Early in the film, Dean "
