The one place for FILM, MUSIC and LITERATURE
Weapons is a movie I heard a lot about but never gave myself the time to actually watch it. Something had to be made about that. So, I finally took the time and what I found was actually something I really enjoyed! It starts off with a narrator, a young girl, telling us the beginning of the story. How 17 children from one school class suddenly went outside in the middle of the night and...
Phantom Antichrist is the 13th studio album by Kreator. I find it less aggressive and more melodic than the previous Hordes of Chaos. Is that a good thing? Yes, in this case I think it is. Here, Kreator shows a more dynamic approach than ever before. There are even acoustic guitars in there, at least it sounds acoustic to me. Let me be clear, it’s not anymore a power ballad or anything like that. It’s...
The Bone temple is a film that I’ve waited a long time for. Not because I was particularly fond of the first film – 28 Years Later, which in turn of course is a continuation of the 28 Days Later and 28 Months Later. It’s in some way movies connected to zombie culture. Although I feel that both The Bone Temple and 28 Years Later are more postapocalyptic than zombie driven. The Bone Temple takes...
Peace Sells from 1986 was probably my first encounter with Megadeth. This was during an era where MTV still was a thing and still focused on music videos. The video for Peace Sells took me by storm. I don’t know why, it wasn’t the best video ever. I’ve always liked the music videos to be a little more than live concert images. Think in the lines of Michael Jackson’s Thriller. A story to be told....
Choir girl is not an easy film to watch. First off, it’s about a very serious subject that you have to tip on your toes about. Both from the filmmakers point of view, but also from a critics point of view. Subjects regarding trafficking, prostitution and voyeurism are handled and it’s very very dark! There’s not really anyone likable in the movie but I think that’s the point. The subject of underage prostitution needs to...
Long Pigs is a movie like no other, at least I haven’t seen anything like it before. It has the form of a found footage flick, although you kind of have your doubts about the found part all the way through the movie. Let’s call it a documentary style film instead. In short we follow these two filmmakers doing a documentary about a serial killing cannibal. Yeah, macabre I know. But the most scary part...
I am the Weapon is the fifteenth studio album by Flotsam and Jetsam. It’s a band that I first heard about when Jason Newsted left them to join Metallica in 1986. Yes, I’m that old! I’m pretty sure I listened to Doomsday of the Deceiver back then, the only album where Jason Newsted is actually still a part of the band. As far as I understand it, he was also a driving force when it...
Mike Enslin (John Cusack) writes books about supernatural phenomena and hauntings. During his research into haunted hotels and guesthouses, he comes across a warning not to stay in room 1408 in one of New York’s finer hotels. This naturally catches his interest, as he has previously had more experience with small country hotels in his investigations. However, spending a night in the infamous room turns out to be easier said than done, as the hotel...
Thera Will See You Now is a short film directed by Kim Sønderholm. He also has a part in the film alongside Mie Gren and Sara Amlund. It’s not a huge cast, rather miniscule, but it’s just enough and there’s absolutely no need for anything else. If there were more people it would just be confusing. Thera WIll See You Now is set in the near future. The covid pandemic is in the past and...
‘ Hordes of Chaos is the twelfth studio album from Kreator. It was the first album I heard with them I think.. At the time I thought it was a little too brutal for my taste. I remember comparing it to a lighter version of Slayer at the time, but when I revisited now, a few hundred album reviews later, I didn’t really agree with my old self. Sure, the brutality and the aggression is...
Mistress of the Dark – Stories of the Macabre (volume 1) is Del Gibson’s debut anthology. I can’t say that my level of anticipation didn’t skyrocket when I got this book just the other day. And though this is not really about the book itself, but rather the first story in it, I must comment on the amazing quality of the cover. It’s like touching something with a texture between silk and velvet! I absolutely...
Killing is my Business is the first studio album from Megadeth. I probably first encountered it when it was first released or maybe a couple of years after. Peace Sells…but Who’s Buying was probably my first album with the band. When listening to it again many years later it is, of course, not the same experience anymore. What was once a speedy Thrash Metal album is no longer that impressive. I might get misunderstood here....
The film begins with what happens on a normal school day at 2:37 PM. Someone bleeds to death in the school bathroom, but we don’t find out who. The clock is turned back and we continue to follow six of the school’s students more closely, all with their own problems, during this particular day until the fateful time when one of them has decided not to live anymore. Little by little, secrets are revealed, such...
