    ‘The Shining’ – What makes it so terrifying?

    Over Halloween, I decided to finally sit down and watch ‘The Shining’ after years of saying I would. I watched it probably the scariest way – alone at night, in my room with my headphones on, and I experienced every facet of the ‘creepy’ this film had to offer. After watching it, a few times […]

    Cult Corner – Blue Velvet (1986), The Dreamy Suburban Nightmare

    ‘Blue Velvet’ literally means an illicit opioid concoction taken by injection. That is exactly what David Lynch creates in this 1986 cult classic. Lynch goes beneath the skin of suburbia, driving a needle into a nightmarish, seedy underbelly. He is known for his exploration of the darker sides of life through surrealism and in Blue […]

    ‘Rye Lane’ Review: Delightfully Fresh South London Rom-Com

    I will start out by saying that without question I am utterly biased towards ‘Rye Lane’. From the moment I saw the trailer while mindlessly scrolling in a lecture I should probably have paid more attention to, I was transfixed. A British rom-com with two dark-skin Black leads set in South London? Best believe I […]

    Atmospheric Ignition: The Polemic Nature of Oppenheimer

    Where Tenet (2020) feels like a condensation of all the faults of Christopher Nolan as a director, ‘Oppenheimer’ seems to be his response to those criticisms and a reminder of his mastery of filmmaking.
