Friday One Sheet: GULIZAR

A simple, melancholy image forms most of the design for the key art of Belkis Bayrak’s Gülizar. A woman in a car presses her hands up to the glass, eyes downcast, as if saying goodbye to her world for the last time before taken away. There are small scars or bruises on her palm and fingers. There is a gentle light reflected off the glass and a light grain along with actresses Ecem Uzun’s make-up free freckled visage, and a fuzzy sweater coming just past the threshold of her wrist, further add a wealth subtle texture to the image.  The title card fades out at each end, but otherwise forms a cautionary yellow in the centre of the design, while the credit block, and director’s credit…

THE KILLER’S GAME Review: The Ghost of the Action Movies Past

Tuxedo-clad superstar hitman Joe Flood (Dave Bautista) crashes a premiere of contemporary ballet in the Budapest opera house in order to kill his target. As panic ensues, Joe ends up escorting one of the dancers, Maize (Sofia Boutella) out and accidentally keeping her phone. He returns it, gets a dinner invite – and then a girlfriend out of it. All the while, Joe has typical problems just like any regular joe: his job keeps him extremely busy (meaning that he jets all over Europe offing bad dudes) and he might possibly be a bit burnt out as he starts experiencing some headaches and double vision. A full medical checkup reveals he has a brain condition that will kill him within three months. When a Google…

PRESENCE: New Teaser For Soderbergh’s Haunted House Flick

At some point the promotion of Steven Soderbergh’s supernatural thriller Presence is going to have to – to completely ignore the original meaning of the idiom – give up the ghost.  Now is not that time.  In the second teaser we get another slow build, a descent from above the house, down and up to the open front door, where we’re given only a tease, a glimpse of what else is in the house before – the title of the film.  We’re going to have to wait until January 17th to fine out what it was we think we saw at the end there….

PRESENCE To Open Sitges 2025; Alexandre Aja’s NEVER LET GO To Close

This was one of the hardest festival news articles I’ve had to write. Why? Because I can’t attend Sitges this year, and their line-up, always great, is even more stellar than usual. Each paragraph brough tears to my eyes, thinking of all the wonderful films I can’t see, at the best genre fest in Europe. Body horror, slashers, men lost in space, aliens, samurai and swords, wild robots and more. Existential crises, leaps of faith, love and hate, revenge, satisfaction. Live action, animation short films, long films, indie films and studio blockbusters – if there is a theme you prefer, a monster you crave, an idea you’re never thought of but want to explore, there’s something for you at Sitges. So get yourself a cafe…
