DEEPER INTO MOVIES

Bad photo, great hang with James Gray.

Walked away with a stack of movie recommendations and some incredible insights on cinema. The man is a walking film encyclopaedia. Could have listened to him school me on movies for hours.

GO SEE PAPER TIGER (2026). His best film since THE YARDS (2000).

He also told me I look like Van Gogh’s The Postman, which I’m choosing to take as a beautiful compliment.

📼SCREENING ON GLORIOUS VHS 📼

Living in a small town with his insufferable aunt and idolized cousin Spike (O’Bryan), unpopular and bullied teenager Hoax (Geoffreys) discovers a mysterious ad promising to provide daily “horrorscopes” to those who call. However, Hoax finds himself with new demonic powers when he dials the number, and he uses them to retaliate against those who have wronged him. This ’80s horror cult favorite directed by Freddy Krueger himself, Robert Englund, is a zany, gory snapshot of suburban fears over new technologies and outcast teenagers left alone to their own devices amidst the decade’s infamous “Satanic Panic.”

In 1998, director Hideo Nakata (Dark Water) unleashed a chilling tale of technological terror on unsuspecting audiences, which redefined the horror genre, launched the J-horror boom in the West and introducing a generation of moviegoers to a creepy, dark-haired girl called Sadako. The film’s success spawned a slew of remakes, reimaginations and imitators, but none could quite boast the power of Nakata’s original masterpiece, which melded traditional Japanese folklore with contemporary anxieties about the spread of technology.
A group of teenage friends are found dead, their bodies grotesquely contorted, their faces twisted in terror. Reiko (Nanako Matsushima, When Marnie Was There), a journalist and the aunt of one of the victims, sets out to investigate the shocking phenomenon, and in the process uncovers a creepy urban legend about a supposedly cursed videotape, the contents of which causes anyone who views it to die within a week – unless they can persuade someone else to watch it, and, in so doing, pass on the curse…

How to describe Nobuhiko Obayashi’s indescribable 1977 movie House (Hausu)? As a psychedelic ghost tale? A stream-of-consciousness bedtime story? An episode of Scooby-Doo as directed by Mario Bava? Any of the above will do for this hallucinatory head trip about a schoolgirl who travels with six classmates to her ailing aunt’s creaky country home and comes face-to-face with evil spirits, a demonic house cat, a bloodthirsty piano, and other ghoulish visions, all realized by Obayashi via mattes, animation, and collage effects. Equally absurd and nightmarish, House might have been beamed to Earth from some other planet. Never before available on home video in the United States, it’s one of the most exciting cult discoveries in years.

I spoke with my brilliant friend and journalist Katarina Lee Samper for a few hours about how Deeper Into Movies became my life. Ten years of screenings, video stores, books, nostalgia, collecting—and my dream of walking through the Jennifer Hudson dance tunnel.

🚨UK PREMIERE
FREE SCREENING 🚨

Two first generation Ukrainian-American brothers George and Iggy know they are destined for great things. George is a wannabe business scion festering in a cell phone store. Iggy is a small-time pot dealer and an aspiring Rap mogul. They are stuck together in a suffocating studio apartment in South Brooklyn and are constantly at each other’s throats. But they know that their situation has to be temporary— after all this is America. George meets Ella, a hipster transplant and sees her as his key to a life outside the neighborhood. Iggy is convinced that Yuriy, a promising rapper he is “managing,” will be his ticket to a life of luxury if he can just get his music to the right person. But both of them learn that their dreams are elusive and that unrealized ones can make a person lose their mind.
