Film Review: THE SHIPMENT (2018) (Short Film)

THE SHIPMENT **** Canada 2018 Dir: Bobby Bala. 27 mins

Ambition is not lacking in writer-director Bobby Bala’s Canadian short: the dialogue-free first five minutes begins with a breath-taking establishing shot worthy of a big budget major studio spectacular. It never quite tops this initial transition, but does establish its world, characters and story arc in a concise, engaging way.

DEVIL'S ADVOCATES BOOK LOOKS AT CONTROVERSIAL FILM 'THE DEVILS'

Auteur Publishing return with the next release in the successful Devil's Advocates line of books. The first book-length consideration of Ken Russell’s most controversial film THE DEVILS, the complete version of which remains unseen to this day.


Undoubtedly the most notorious title in director Ken Russell s controversial filmography, THE DEVILS (1973) caused a real furore on its initial theatrical release, only to largely disappear for many years. This Devil’s Advocate considers the film’s historical context, as the timing of the first appearance of THE DEVILS is of particular importance, released as it was in the aftermath of moral panics surrounding A CLOCKWORK ORANGE and STRAW DOGS (both 1971).

Film Review: THE WITCH IN THE WINDOW (2018)

THE WITCH IN THE WINDOW **** USA 2018 Dir: Andy Mitton. 77 mins

Writer-director-composer Andy Mitton’s latest (following deserved acclaim for YELLOW BRICK ROAD) is an uncommonly thoughtful chiller doubling as a study of 21st century parental anxieties. Described as being “on the 13 side of 12”, child-of-divorce Charlie Tacker has recently discovered beheading videos on the internet while his Mom (Arija Bareikis) freaks out about all the things jeopardising his future, from the planet dying and school shootings to “this president”. He still clutches his teddy bear at night. Dad (Alex Draper) whisks him away for the weekend at the fixer-upper he has just bought in Vermont, where scared locals still talk of the previous owner: an alleged and feared witch known for sitting at the window days after her death.

Film Review: THE SUSPICIOUS DEATH OF A MINOR (a.k.a. Too Young To Die) (1975)

THE SUSPICIOUS DEATH OF A MINOR (a.k.a. Too Young To Die) *** Italy 1975 Dir: Sergio Martino. 100 mins

An oddity from genre veteran Martino, this opens as a standard giallo (a teenage girl has her throat slashed at a seedy motel by a mystery killer in dark shades) before becoming an often jokey police procedural flick in which the characteristically seedy undercurrent (in the vein of WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO SOLANGE?) sits ill at ease with an absurdist sense of humour.
