Jacques Tourneur's Cat People (1942)
Beautiful film, both in what is shown and what remains only suggested, unseen, obscured by shadow. Alice being followed through the park and later trapped in the pool are masterclasses in creating suspense.

Brandon Cronenberg's Antiviral (2012)
In the attention/influencer economy, we all want what celebrity personalities have got. Cronenberg’s feature debut is a hyper-stylish extension of this idea, spinning it out to its horrific conclusions. Bloody, painful, wince-inducing.

Jean Rollin's The Grapes of Death (1971)
Winemaking practices have really improved since the 70s. My favorite Rollin? Far more plot than typical for R (& less nudity). Great atmosphere- post-harvest vineyards, crumbling villages, rugged mountains of the French countryside.

John Irvin's Ghost Story (1981)
Shocking that the director of Raw Deal wasn’t 100% successful adapting Peter Straub’s novel. Overlong with lots of plot points left hanging. Some very charming moments, especially from Fred Astaire. And Alice Krige 🤓

Ben Wheatley's Kill List (2011)
Unsettling cult mystery, with a dash of folk horror. Shockingly violent. Wheatley is a master of creating real-feeling relationships between his characters. Excellent!

Jaume Balagueró & Paco Plaza's [REC] (2007).
Feels so familiar in 2025– shaky camera, screeching zombies, viral outbreak lockdown. But in 2007, REC was breaking ground in its visceral, claustrophobic, high intensity approach.

Mark Goldblatt's Dead Heat (1988). Buddy cop horror-comedy with a slowly rotting Treat Williams and partner Joe Piscapo. Unfortunately, the film (dialogue, plot, Piscapo’s acting) feels pretty flat. Stick with it for a pretty gnarly rapid decomposition scene.

Amando de Ossorio's Tombs of the Blind Dead (1972). Slow going at times, but Ossorio makes the most of a small budget, creating some memorable nightmarish sequences of desiccated-looking zombie Knights Templar pursuing their victims on horseback (in slow motion).
