Tobe Hooper

Farewell to another titan of horror. It's hard to believe we now live in a world without Tobe, Wes and George. Vale!

Do you read Sutter Cane?

Holy shit, this new beefed-up reworking of the title track from IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS is so good it gave me goosebumps. As usual, Carpenter's new band is simply laying waste to all in its path, and I'm dying to hear the rest of their upcoming Anthology LP (once again on the excellent Sacred Bones Records).

Mid Year Top 10!

It's been a packed year for top-tier cinema so far, honestly one of the strongest I can recall. Here for your perusal, ranked in poster form, are my picks for best of the year so far. With some exciting films still to debut over the next few months (BLADE RUNNER 2049; THE ENDLESS; BRAWL IN CELL BLOCK 99), I'll be interested to see how much the following list has changed come December.

Sphinx Pinastri

While on the hunt for material for the Cronenberg post below this one, I stumbled on these striking unused posters for Peter Strickland's wonderful THE DUKE OF BURGUNDY. They are the work of Parisian graphic designer Vincent Petitjean, whose other film related designs you can see here.

As a bonus, feast your eyes on some behind the scenes shots, thanks to the perpetually enlightening and insightful Kino Images blog.
