Movie: One Cut of the Dead

I’m not going to tell you anything about this. And to truly enjoy it, you shouldn’t read anything about it. Nor should you watch a trailer. Just fire it up and watch it. It’s not particularly scary, so if you’re a big puss, don’t worry about that. A couple things I’ll say about it, which don’t spoil anything are:

  1. The sort of person who is into magic is also likely to be the sort of person who will appreciate the layers to this movie and the way things are set up early and pay off later.

  2. Keep in mind when you watch it that the movie is 90 minutes long.

Show: Cursed Films

This is a five-part series looking at “cursed” horror films—films that have a number of unfortunate or tragic incidents connected with them. The series asks the question: Are these films cursed? The answer is no, they’re not, of course. They just had a lot of incompetent people who made bad choices involved in the production. So, okay, maybe you could say they were cursed. But not by Satan or something, just by morons.
