Evil Dead: Screenplay

Stephen Provost

Satanic Hispanics is another winner from Fantastic Fest. It’s an anthology created by all Latino filmmakers that swings from slow build horror to blatant comedy to abstract witches and Evil Dead absurdity. No segment repeats tone and the result is a highly entertaining anthology.

The Making of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back

Been doing some research for a Slashfilm story about the original Star Wars. Of course my go-to reference guide is JW Rinzler’s incredible The Making of Star Wars. The only problem with doing this is now I just want to re-read the whole massive tome again.

The Matchmaker: A Farce in Four Acts

Thornton Wilder

The Matchmaker is absolutely delightful and innovative for its time. The titular Matchmaker breaks the fourth wall all the time. Super slept on movie and my preferred version of Thornton Wilder’s story.
