Nosferatu – What You Need To Know
I know it is a fact of film making that, when you can’t think of a new idea, why not just re-use an old one? I know the latter part of the twentieth century has been fertile territory for recent features but how about going back a bit further? Like to 1922? Who is Nosferatu?…

Independent Film Review – The Devil Came Home

30th Anniversary Rewatch – Speed
—
How can Speed be thirty years old when 1975 is only twenty years ago? Such is the vagaries of the perception of time concomitant with old age that has more to do with my family doctor than Doctor Who. If there has to be a film to watch again in order to celebrate an anniversary…
