Wow! My very first screening ever for Black Christmas. Such a treat to screen this for Schlocktober 2018 and it might be my favourite thus far. This is definitely up there with the original Halloween in terms of the slasher genre. Of course, it's a big reference for Halloween with the camera movement and the low-budget but it just goes to show that in the hands of a great director, you don't need big budgets. You just need talent and creepy af villians. Could be in my top 5 slashers of all-time.

First viewing. Argento's mise-en-scene has never been better. And one of the creepiest dolls in cinema.

Gondry is in complete control with The Science of Sleep. He wrote and directed this absolute wonder of a film. You can feel his playful energy in every frame, with Gael García Bernal and Charlotte Gainsbourg throwing themselves into Gondry's head and really understanding his vision.

It's filmmakers like Gondry, who when they have total ownership over their material, make you see the pure magic that cinema can provide. Glorious!
