Waiting for Dawn

There are some films that are so mindbendingly good that they leave you buzzing. And Waiting for Dawn is one of these films.

The film is a rarity. It's a science fiction film that deals with ideas rather than special effects. The film relies – successfully – on well realised and fully rounded characters rather than familiar stereotypes and draws you in with a genuinely unnerving atmosphere rather than relying on easy shocks.

This is a thoughtful, intelligent and downright engrossing film and one that is well worth watching out for.

The Wild Man of the Navidad

From Greeks Productions and the producer of the original 70's horror classic The Texas Chain Saw Massacre comes The Wild Man of the Navidad. This vintage horror tale is based on the real-life journals of Dale S. Rogers. Shot in a 70's style B-movie aesthetic, Mr. Roger's veracious accounts are brought to vivid, chilling life in this intelligent retelling of an old rural legend involving a small Texas community terrified for years by a mysterious creature inhabiting the nearby woods.

Craig finally on release worldwide now!

Cetus Productions have announced the worldwide release of their feature film Craig (review, trailer) - the story about a young quiet man turning serial killer in dispair.

The film is directed by experienced actor Kim Sønderholm who also plays the lead as Craig. The film is his debut as a director and has been described as something as odd as an artsy horror slasher with depth and atmosphere - drama, blood, murder, a dark underworld with plenty of gorgeous undressed women on the way.

The Janitor

Coffee Shorts have just added the first animation to their network, and it's a good one. The Janitor is a dark and surreal slice of science fiction from Wolfram Gruss and Michael Noll.

Go watch it.

The pernicious effect of legislating political correctness

A Seattle Times editorial (via) notes that author and columnist, Mark Steyn has fallen foul of the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal.

Steyn, who is well known for his outspoken opinions, suggests in his most recent book, America Alone, that Muslims will swarm over Europe, ban alcohol and put women in veils. Maclean's magazine printed an excerpt and Canadian Islamists decided to take offence and complain to human-rights tribunals in Ottawa and the provinces.
