Two years later, director Fred Zinnemann (High Noon) turned a gripping novel into a nail-biting cinematic experience. August 1962: the latest attempt on the life of French President Charles de Gaulle by the far-right paramilitary organization, the OAS, ends in chaos, with its architect-in-chief dead at the hands of a firing squad. Demoralized and on the verge of bankruptcy, the OAS leaders meet in secret to plan their next move. In a last desperate attempt to eliminate de Gaulle, they opt to employ the services of a hired assassin from outside the fold. Enter the Jackal (Edward Fox, Gandhi): charismatic, calculating, cold as ice. As the Jackal closes in on his target, a race against the clock ensues to identify and put a stop to a killer whose identity, whereabouts and modus operandi are completely unknown. Co-starring a plethora of talent from both sides of the Channel, including Michael Lonsdale (Munich), Derek Jacobi (The Odessa File) and Cyril Cusack (1984) and featuring striking cinematography by Jean Tournier (Moonraker), The Day of the Jackal remains one of the greatest political thrillers of all time.

Videonomicon asks you to take off your mask, pick up that candy, and get ready for a Halloween-themed horror anthology unlike anything you've seen before. After stumbling upon the graves of three murdered trick or treaters, a small town paperboy discovers a series of handwritten horror stories tacked to the children's headstones. Penned by a deranged pulp author driven mad by his craft, the stories chronicle grisly tales of Halloween rites, rituals, and traditions. Absent of dialogue and heavy on atmosphere, 3 DEAD TRICK OR TREATERS is an engrossing visual feast that turns the genre on its head and offers terror and suspense amongst the blood and candy corn! Hot off its success on the international film festival circuit and independent worldwide theatrical tour Videonomicon brings you this new horror hit in a limited edition Blu-ray/DVD combo featuring a wealth of special features.

I'd love to see you review a horror themed franchise & as I love Clive Barker I'd love you to review either the Hellraiser or Candyman series 9/23/2018 06:25:16 am
To answer the viewer question, I'd mostly love to hear your thought's on the entire Phantasm series, if not that then I think it would be cool if you covered the Blind Dead series (not enough people do that one [unrelated but do you have the coffin box set]). You could also do the Witch Board trilogy, the John Carpenter Apocalypse trilogy, Fulci's Gates of Hell trilogy, or even Romero's Dead series. I'd almost covering the Return of the Living Dead series but I don't want to ask anyone to sit through the last straight to video entries for that one. Any of the guests you've had would do fine but it's a little more fun when you have someone to bounce off of. Other possible suggestions: Japanese Guinea Pig series, Cube trilogy, or even the Men Behind the Sun series. Leave a Reply. |
