Yes, this is a rip-off of Jaws , with a giant octopus in place of a great white. But isn't Jaws itself a rip-off of Moby Dick, with the shark being less a natural creature than a supernatural one embodying our collective fears about nature, the return of the repressed and all that? Wasn't making rip-offs what the filone cinema was all about anyway? Now you see him... Now you don't Another early victim...

Danse Macbre by Stephen King Forgotten? Nothing by Stephen King is forgotten. I imagine that virtually if not literally everything he's published is in print. That said, even some readers of his horror novels may have passed this one by. Not everybody is inclined to read a long overview of the horror field but they should because this is one of the most articulate, occasionally eloquent overviews of...

Six images from UNDER THE VOLCANO ~ Love how Huston’s director credit appears over a lookalike skull. But then, ALL skulls look a bit like John Huston, just as all monkeys do. The signature image, Albert Finney’s shades. Malcolm Lowry’s book was often described as “unfilmable,” and I’m not sure Huston found a way in. A drunken [...]

From my September 26, 2001 essay on John Huston’s movie The Man Who Would Be King, which was based on the Kipling short story. Yet, if a war in Afghanistan does prove winnable, which it should, ought the U.S. to undertake a long-term benevolent occupation to attempt to turn that desolate land into a peaceful “normal [...]

The commercial for this Italian Exorcist knockoff scared me so bad when I was a little kid, watching it today dredges up the feeling and still kind of freaks me out a little bit. Juliet Mills plays a woman who gets pregnant while cheating on her husband. Naturally, the other man is a satanist and the [...]

Highly Recommended THE MOVIE: Legendary director John Huston's last film, The Dead , was a family affair. His son Tony adapted the script from a short story by James Joyce, and his daughter Anjelica has one of the two main roles in the picture. This is as it should be, as the film is one that centers on family. The Dead is a movie about remembering times past and the connections that bring us together,...

The other night I watched The Dead , John Huston's film adaptation of Joyce's story The Dubliners . I don't know why I didn't take notice of this poem the first time I watched the film years ago. It's an 8th century ballad adapted by Lady August Gregory , a great Irish playwright of the last century. I could think about this poem for hours. Donal Og It is late last night the dog was speaking of you;...

The author of more than 70 books, including four different detective series, Stuart Kaminsky, who has died aged 75, wrote in the tradition of the pulp wordsmiths. His first series, featuring the shabby private eye Toby Peters, was set in 1940s Hollywood and reflected that era's light-hearted, fast-paced crime stories. Kaminsky came to detective fiction from academia, but the ease of his prose was...

The Canadian actor Joseph Wiseman had a long career in which he gave distinguished performances on stage, screen and television, with particular success in roles of deception or villainy. With his gaunt demeanour, narrow eyes and thin lips, he conveyed an air of menace with an unsettling instability, and was rarely to be trusted.
