When a film writer as beloved and respected as Andrew Pope says that my book is "a classic-in-the-making", it really is a special moment of amazement and gratitude 😭❤️ I'm so happy to get this 5-star review from one of the best and smartest film experts out there! Please read and share this review 🙏
In ‘Psychoanalysing Horror Cinema’ Mary Wild makes psychoanalysis the main lens through which to understand horror as a genre, and she does it for a mass audience. This is a must-read for horror-lovers, filling a major gap in their bookshelves. A triumph!

I’m the guest on Episode 4 of The Tower cinema podcast, discussing The Matrix (1999) as a film that profoundly shifted my worldview, creating a ‘tower moment’ comparable to the tarot understanding of the term.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is a surreal structure with a uniquely imposing aura. Pisa is rendered dreamlike because of this Tower. The conventional quality of the nearby buildings only enhances the magical features of being askew & imperfect. If this Tower were not Leaning, nobody would remember it.
