Charles Burn crafts a methodical masterpiece about self-discovery and main character syndrome that’s cast against Super 8 science fiction and the power of cinema.
“I didn’t know it would be like this. I thought making a movie would be a lot more fun.”
It’s hard to compare to the euphoria that’s experienced from a good graphic novel horror story. Expressive, disturbing images linger on the page and proceed at the viewer’s discretion as they set the pace, rather than vicious visuals that flash across the screen in a movie or television series. It’s easy to get lost in a graphic novel’s artwork and almost become haunted by its imagery. It’s a form of possession that can even feel otherworldly, as if the reader has left their body or become inhabited by something foreign. This isn’t an experience that’s felt with every graphic novel or comic,...

High-concept movie formula makers will have a field day with Zach Clark’s The Becomers. Is its tender, yet often violent, saga of star-crossed – and serial human body inhabiting – lovers a hybrid of The Man Who Fell to Earth and Todd Solondz’ Palindromes (whose lead character is played by eight different actors) or an Invasion of the Body Snatchers updated for an N95-masked America? Or … something else? Clark’s first film since his widely beloved Little Sister (2016) wasn’t one he had in the pipeline.

Joseph Kahn is cornering the market on 2000s-kid horror. Ick is a fast-paced, pop-punk blasting remix of The Blob meets Invasion of the Body Snatchers with sweetened gateway intentions. Those who adore Kahn's Detention (like myself) might feel a spiritual connection, especially with an Aaron David Johnson cameo (Sander Sanderson himself). Like with most Kahn flicks, you'll quickly determine if you're the correct audience for the prolific music video director's energetic styles. Those who don't mind twenty different needle drops in three minutes will bop along as a nondescript entity doubles as suburbia malaise. Khan's four-for-four (in my opinion), but I'm also a sucker for an A+ Creed drop.

Looking at the larger picture, the MCU is still relatively new to television, with the bulk of its releases dropping on the big screen. Still, there are ten live-action Marvel Cinematic Universe entries to date. The quality of the series have ranged from excellent to dreadful, a large chunk of them following somewhere in the middle. So, to celebrate the release of Agatha All Along, now streaming on Disney+, we ranked the entirety of the live-action television entries from worst to best.
10. Secret Invasion Samuel L. Jackson in Secret Invasion
An espionage story featuring Samuel L. Jackson in a leading role sounds perfect on paper. Throw in the fact that it’s a paranoid thriller in the style of Invasion of the Body Snatchers and the premise appears even stronger. What should have been a homerun for Marvel fell flat. The writing was weak, and Samuel L. Jackson gave the dullest performance of his career.

You used to hear the refrain from horror film fanatics with a lot more frequency – the original was so much scarier.
And while this is still true to some degree (the films of John Carpenter have been remade with an oddly uniform lousiness), there are still plenty of horror films that have been remade well. Sometimes the remakes are just as good as the original. In rare cases, it even surpasses the original.
Here is our definitive list of the very best horror remakes ever.
(United Artists) “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” (1978)
Don Siegel’s 1956 classic “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” is based on Jack Finney’s story “The Body Snatchers,” which was serialized in Collier’s in 1954 and published as a novel shortly after, has been remade several times over the years. But the very best iteration is still the 1978 version, the first since Siegel’s, from director Philip Kaufman and writer W.D. Richter.

Sudbury, Suffolk is set to get a lot scarier this Halloween season as the Dead And SudBuried horror festival returns for its eighth instalment, running from 4th to 6th October 2024. What started as a small celebration of horror films has now evolved into a three-day horror extravaganza, featuring nine new feature films, classic horror screenings, 18 short films, director and cast Q&As, and plenty of other terrifying surprises.
The festival’s origins date back to 2016 when organiser Andy Piper decided to host a one-day event as a birthday present to himself. What began as a humble affair screening horror classics has since grown into a full-fledged horror film festival, attracting horror fans from across the UK. Now, Dead And SudBuried is a staple on the horror festival circuit, with its mix of world premieres, UK premieres, and classic films from the genre.

4K is about to get a lot darker – no, not literally, don’t worry about that. Arrow Video has announced their November slate of 4K releases and a number of worthwhile entries that fit the horror and thriller bill, including Elvira: Mistress of the Dark, 2007’s The Invasion and Sam Raimi’s A Simple Plan.
Each of these entries – in addition to 1986’s At Close Range and manga adaptation Tomie – are getting upgrades this fall courtesy of Arrow, who has made a name for themselves as one of the premiere outlets for such presentations. Let’s take a look at some specs:

It's hard not to love Leonard Nimoy. The gifted actor, writer, director, and photographer was not just the absolute perfect person to bring Spock to life on "Star Trek," but he was also, by all accounts, a genuinely wonderful human being. Nimoy always brought a sense of kindness and respect to those he met, and feedback from fans would indicate that he was always a genuine soul, right up until the day he passed.
Although fans will likely debate this fact until the sun burns out, Spock is what elevated "Star Trek" beyond "good" into "great," and his character laid the groundwork for how "Trek" stories should be told in every iteration moving forward. His character was the embodiment of how logic and emotion are at the core of just about every conflict a being could face, making him both an outsider to the humans he worked alongside ... yet, given...

Ask every independent filmmaker you know to tell you how they got their latest project off the ground, and you’ll never hear the same story twice. The task of finding funding for passion projects often feels so sisyphean that there’s no “right” way to do it. It comes down to timing, hustle, and a decent amount of luck. Zach Clark was already a celebrated indie filmmaker in his own right for films like “White Reindeer” and “Little Sister.” But he’ll be the first to tell you that his latest work, the sci-fi romance “The Becomers” was the result of some pandemic-era serendipity.
“Let me take you back to a time in February 2021,” Clark said during a recent conversation with IndieWire. “I was sitting in my apartment doing truly nothing, and Joe Swanberg called me and asked if I had any ideas for $100,000 genre movies that we could shoot in 12 days in Chicago.

Since Jack Finney’s “The Body Snatchers” was first published 70 years ago, screen adaptations — official and unofficial alike — have taken place in small-town USA, Me Decade San Francisco, a military base, high school and so forth. All had a gist in common: humanity being infiltrated and co-opted by a shape-shifting invasive force from outer space. Loosely playing on that theme, Zach Clark’s “The Becomers” adds a new wrinkle, in that this time the body-hopping entities don’t necessarily intend conquest. They just want to co-exist, peacefully. But it turns out they may have chosen the wrong planet and/or species, because they discover today’s mankind is perhaps too messed up to be worth the trouble.
That’s a good premise for the kind of sly, deadpan absurdism Clark aims for here. But despite its fantastical hook, this episodic narrative lands short of the curiously winsome black comedy quirkiness...

Horror has an official first family and their last name is Adams. No not that one. You might be thinking of the Addams Family. They don’t make movies, they’re fictional characters and they’re nowhere near as cool as the Adams Family.
John Adams and Toby Poser, and their daughters Zelda and Lulu, have been making independent films as a family for over a decade under their production company Wonder Wheel Productions. The Adams Family ventured into the horror genre for the first time with their film The Hatred (2018), which tells the story of a young girl who brings a soldier back from the dead to unleash hell on earth. And just like that, they were hooked on horror.

Stars: Chloë Kerwin, Drew Scheid, Johnny Berchtold, Rain Spencer | Written by Clark Baker, Stephen Susco | Directed by Clark Baker
Directed by Clark Baker, who co-wrote the script with Stephen Susco, Test Screening is a deliriously gloopy ‘80s-set sci-fi horror that owes a significant debt to Society (Brian Yuzna’s 1989 classic). Other references abound throughout, but that’s the film you’ll be itching to revisit after watching Baker’s small-town squelch-fest.
Set in the small Oregon town of New Hope (a deliberate Star Wars reference right out of the gate) in 1982, the film centres on a group of teenage friends: movie nerd Reels (Drew Scheid), who works at the failing local movie theatre; straight-laced Simon (Johnny Berchtold), who’s dealing with his depressed father and terminally ill mother; and Penny (Chloe Kerwin), the daughter of the local pastor, who’s struggling with her attraction to her attractive, free-spirited best friend...

[Editor’s note: this list was originally published in July 2022. It has since been updated with new entries to coincide with the release of “Alien: Romulus”]
Aliens are never far from the pop culture hive mind. It makes sense that audiences would turn to the skies in the 21st century: a time of existential ennui that’s left many screaming for escape and wondering “What else?” But where the enduring nostalgia of “E.T.” or the effortless charm of “Earth Girls Are Easy” might have made emotional contact in the past, a burning need to really feel something has festered.
The scariest alien movies terrify in many of the same ways the scariest earth-bound horror movies do: building (and sometimes killing) likable characters; producing otherworldly visual displays with seriously grim implications; getting the jump scares, if applicable, timed just right; and daring to put the unimaginably terrible on screen. Alien flicks further distinguish themselves through the subgenre’s unparalleled ability to explore the unknown, conjuring up heinous fates for humans so sweepingly sadistic few other films can attempt them.

The central joke of John Carpenter's 1986 martial arts comedy "Big Trouble in Little China" is that the himbo hero Jack Burton (Kurt Russell) thinks he's the main character of the story, when really he's the dorky, comedic sidekick to other people. One should acknowledge that Wang Chi (Dennis Dun) is the true hero of "Big Trouble," and it is ultimately his heroism that saves his fiancée Miao Yin (Suzee Pai) from the clutches of the evil warlock Lo Pan (James Hong). Wang Chi is the one with fighting skills, as well as the one with connections to other magic users. Jack Burton is a silly blowhard with the muscles to fight off bad guys and the know-how of a golden retriever.
Needless to say, "Little China" is quirky and charming. It remains the most whimsical of John Carpenter's output. Indeed, it may be the only comedy film Carpenter directed...

When it comes to Batman’s gallery of rogues, Pamela Isley a.k.a. Poison Ivy remains one of the more bizarre and maniacal. This beautiful botanist turned mad eco-terrorist is now best known for being Harley Quinn’s greener half, yet Poison Ivy proved to be a worthy foe all on her own. Batman: The Animated Series alone well illustrated her twisted sense of environmentalism. And in the few instances where Ivy was shown working in a solo capacity, she had a habit of shocking and disgusting the Caped Crusader with her exploits.
Over the course of The Animated Series (later retitled The Adventures of Batman & Robin), Poison Ivy had only three individual outings — four if we count her pumpkin plot in “Almost Got ‘Im”. Her debut, “Pretty Poison”, established her cracked moral compass and utter disregard for humans. After the more intimate crime of poisoning Harvey Dent,...

With the passing of Donald Sutherland, I was looking through his catalogue for stuff I hadn’t seen yet as I like to look at the entire catalogue to find some hidden gems. What I was reminded of while looking was his stellar horror output over the years. Fallen, The Puppet Masters, Don’t Look Now, Virus, the Salem’s Lot TV miniseries, and of course Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors are all fun to great but for my money, his turn in Invasion of the Body Snatchers (watch it Here) and really the movie in general, is his best stuff. After buying the wonderful 4K from Kino Lorber and rewatching it, I’m also ready to crown it as the best San Francisco based horror movie too. While it can feel every bit as long as it’s 1 hour and 55-minute runtime, it uses that slow build tension to...

On July 17, 1926, a theater opened in Portland, Oregon. Talkies were still a year away and the Great Depression hadn’t yet struck vaudeville, so it played host to variety acts, as well as silent films paired with an 8-piece orchestra and organist. It was called the Hollywood Theatre and its popularity grew so rapidly that soon, the entire district around the theater became known as the Hollywood of Portland. Today it remains the last theater of its era still standing in the City of Roses and showcases both first-run films and a wide range of repertory cinema.
Put on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, the theater has three auditoriums, one of which features a 50-foot screen and 384 seats. In 1997, the theater was made a non-profit, with major renovations taking place between 2011 and 2015 that revitalized the marquee and brought back 70mm screening capabilities.

It’s been almost 70 years since the first of four film adaptations of Jack Finney’s 1954 novel The Body Snatchers was released and in that time we’ve yet to meet a single one of these so-called “snatchers.” I suppose that’s the point, since if they have to snatch a body, they don’t have bodies. This plays directly into the way the story, in its various adaptations, serves as a metaphorical horse to be hitched to any topical cart, the non-corporeal snatchers (presumably extra-terrestrial) view us as all-purpose vehicles for their…what? Bodies, minds, or souls? Don Siegel’s 1956 film, still considered to be the quintessential version of the story (though Philip Kaufman and Abel Ferrara’s remakes aren’t exactly chopped liver), actually conceals the answer behind budget compromises and plot holes: They are us, or we could be, if we don’t watch out.

It has been so heartwarming to see the outpouring of love for Donald Sutherlnd in the wake of his death. Co-stars, crew members from his films, folks whose connections to the actor seem almost random until you read how Sutherland’s kindness, generosity, politics, and talent left a lasting impression on the person commemorating him. The write-up from our own Cláudio Alves is among the most touching and thorough I’ve seen. I wanted to add my own tribute, and chose to write about his central, film-enabling performance in Philip Kaufman’s 1978 remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers . . . .

If being a Hollywood star consists of having either major box office clout or a few Oscar nominations (and, preferably, at least one win), the great Donald Sutherland never had any of those. Then why, since his death last Thursday at age 88, has he been celebrated the world over as one of the true legends to grace the modern screen?
The reason is simple: the Canadian-born Sutherland, whose incredibly prolific and versatile career kicked off in 1964 with the Italian horror flick, The Castle of the Living Dead, possessed the extremely rare quality — call it a kind of alchemy — where he could disappear into a role and yet somehow remain Donald Sutherland at the same time.
Whether he was playing a sinister Nazi spy (The Eye of a Needle), a boozy G.I. medic (M*A*S*H), an existentially lovesick detective (Klute), the benevolent English patriarch of a classic 19th...

Tales of Hollywood actors turning down profit participation in huge hits are rampant, as when Orson Welles rejected the initial $75,000 plus 10 percent of the gross offer on 1949’s The Third Man for a quick $100,000 dollars up front. Not bad for only ten days’ work. Plus, he needed cash to finance Othello right away so it all worked out… except The Third Man would ultimately become one of the most financially successful movies of Welles’ career. He later regretted this, of course, and if the director of Citizen Kane wasn’t enough of a genius to go for points, then certainly the iconic, and yet strangely underappreciated, actor Donald Sutherland wasn’t immune to bad monetary decisions either.
Sutherland, who passed away yesterday at age 88 after a long illness, had an incredible career littered with enduring classics like M*A*S*H, Klute, and Best Picture winner Ordinary People to his resume.

He was initially an ambassador from the Hippie Nation, a force of irreverence armed with a sharp wit and a what-me-worry smile. Which is why, in the late 1960s, right when Flower Power was beginning to bloom in full and the escalating situation in Vietnam galvanized the youth generation, Donald Sutherland started to make a name for himself in… war movies. It’s funny to think of that factoid now, given the six decades of incredibly versatile work the late, great actor left behind when he died Thursday at the...

It may now be hard to imagine, but in 1970, Donald Sutherland, who died Thursday at 88, was the coolest movie star on the planet. The moment I saw him in “M*A*S*H,” I knew he was the person I wanted to be, the same way that I wanted to be Mick Jagger or Steve McQueen. In 1970, Pacino and De Niro hadn’t happened yet. You could say that Robert Redford and Paul Newman, in “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” (1969), had achieved the quintessence of a kind of studio-system cool, inventing the buddy movie.
But in “M*A*S*H,” Donald Sutherland and Elliott Gould, as “Hawkeye” Pierce and “Trapper John” McIntyre, were buddies of a headier, more intoxicating kind. They were so cool that they seemed to stand outside the system, studio or otherwise. They devised their own rules, which came down to this: If you could make fun of the world and everything in it,...

The world recently lost one of the greatest actors to ever do it, when Donald Sutherland passed away at the age of 88. A legendary performer with an on-screen career spanning more than half a century, Sutherland brought to life countless characters that could all be considered "his best." Vernon Pinkley in "The Dirty Dozen," John Baxter in "Don't Look Now," Hawkeye Pierce in "M*A*S*H*," Matthew Bennell in "Invasion of the Body Snatchers," Mr. Bennet in "Pride & Prejudice," and John Klute in "Klute" would all be career-making roles for any other performer, but for Sutherland, they were just another day at the office. However, there's an argument to be made that his greatest performance came with one of his most recent roles -- one that helped introduce him to a much younger generation. I'm talking, of course, about President Corolanius Snow in "The Hunger Games" series.

If you were casting a movie about an alien invasion of Earth, who would play the human hero? One of our musclebound action stars, like Dave Bautista or Jason Statham? A magazine-cover beauty like Zendaya or Anya Taylor-Joy? Whatever script you’re working with, it’s unlikely you’d be on the lookout for a mustachioed, soft-spoken, fortysomething man to play a city bureaucrat gradually convinced that everyone around him is being replaced with soulless clones, but it’s this performance by the late Donald Sutherland that makes Invasion of the Body Snatchers...

Donald Sutherland was the award-winning thespian who has starred in dozens of titles throughout his career before his death on June 20, 2024. Let’s take a look back at 16 of his greatest films, ranked worst to best.
Despite decades of acclaimed work, the Canadian-born star has yet to earn an Oscar nomination, though he did receive an honorary statuette for his body of work in 2017. The Golden Globes recognized him with nominations for “M*A*S*H” (Best Comedy Actor in 1970), “Ordinary People” (Best Drama Actor in 1980) and “Without Limits” (Best Supporting Actor in 1998), so it certainly wasn’t for lack of good options. Additionally, he reaped a joint BAFTA bid in 1973 for his performances in “Don’t Look Now” and “Steelyard Blues.” Since Sutherland continues to land juicy roles to this day, perhaps his overdue Oscar narrative could pay off sooner than we think.

Sad news out of Hollywood today, as one of the industry's most beloved stars, Donald Sutherland, has passed away at the age of 88.
Sutherland accumulated more than 180 film and television credits in a career that spanned seven decades.
He is often cited as one of the best actors to have never won an Academy Award.
After rising to fame in the late '60s and early '70s with memorable roles in films such as The Dirty Dozen (1967), M*A*S*H (1970), and Kelly's Heroes (1970), Sutherland branched out with a wide array of films that ran the gamut from high drama to slapstick comedy.

We are sad to report that legendary Canadian actor Donald Sutherland passed away Thursday in Miami after a long illness. The award-winning and acclaimed actor was 88. No further details have been revealed as of the time of writing, but we are going to update this article as soon as more information is available.
