November 04, 2019 17:41 - 1 hour - 61.2 MB

Sometimes a film leaves an indelible impression on you because its ending is so buoyant that you feel uplifted, lighter than air.

The Magic Lantern: Episode 115 – Let’s Scare Jessica to Death

October 21, 2019 14:14 - 55 minutes - 50.7 MB

When I selected Let’s Scare Jessica to Death (Hancock, 1971) as my Cole-o-ween choice for this year, I didn’t intend it as a response to Ericca’s choice. Nor was I trying to establish any sort of “women on the verge” theme. It’s interesting how these things work out, though. Together with The Babadook (Kent, 2014),...

The Magic Lantern: Episode 113 – Los Tallos Amargos

September 23, 2019 15:27 - 49 minutes - 45.7 MB

Film noir simply doesn’t get darker than Fernando Ayala’s Los Tallos Amargos (1956). And when I say dark, I mean classical tragedy dark. Dostoevsky levels of wretched darkness.
