From Lovecraft to Evil Dead: the history of the Necronomicon

Actually, the Necronomicon has a much shorter history than its true creator HP Lovecraft had his readers believe. This, too, was worked into Lovecrafts stories, includingThe Haunter Of The DarkandThe Shadow Out Of Time. And as Lovecrafts fame grew, so too did the strange influence of the Necronomicon. Sam Raimis horror classic,The Evil Dead(1981) was clearly influenced by Lovecrafts work. I believe I have made a significant find in the Candarian Ruins....

Psych, 100 Clues: Review

Psych’s 100th episode, an homage to Clue. Curry hammed it up doing his best Simon Cowell for the American Duos talent competition in that classic episode. Its those small moments that Shawn and Gus have that stick out through the years. It felt like a gimmick and just had me soured on the whole idea of which ending to pick. I knew that they would all be equally fun, so gimme all three....

Scott Stewart interview: Dark Skies, aliens, and suburban anxieties

The sci-fi horror Dark Skies is imminent. To mark the occasion, Sarah Dobbs spoke to director Scott Stewart about its making… Both are equally terrifying. Judging by the rest of the film, the second option is far more terrifying. But nothing massively spoiler-y, hence weve left them in. You wrote and directedDark Skies how did you come up with the idea for the movie? It came from a few different places....

Alan Davies interview: Jonathan Creek, QI, “Creek Geeks” & more…

What keeps this tradition, which is hundreds of years old, going? You never see the script until he has finished. He describes his process of lying face down on the carpet trying to think of things. There isnt really anything like it around. Do you have a favouriteCreekmystery? It was quite nice in the old days to just sit and eat and talk. Did you get any of that with Rik Mayall this time around?...

When a random swear word does more to up the rating than the bloodless violence, youre doing bothAlienandPredatorwrong....

Alice Lowe interview: Sightseers, Michael Elphick and the Daily Mail

It was quite a journey for its co-star and co-writer, Alice Lowe, to get the film made. And she spared us a bit of time to talk about it all… It did get me thinking that the cinema of the West Midlandshas been sadly lacking on the big screen. The best I could do was Michael Elphick inI Bought A Vampire Motorcycle. Surely thats the film that inspired you? [Laughs] No, but I must see that!...

The Croods, Review

How did they survive? Push comes to shove comes to dangerous rock slide and the Croods must flee their cave to survive. whilst making a puppet with Guy. When will animated elders stop being so sassy or unintelligible babies so animal-like? Whether its jokes fully work or not, it functions like comedians riffing out loud on their setups. This explains the co-writing credit of comedic legend John Cleese (whose involvement isnt yet recognized by IMDb)....
