black and white film still showing a baby played by a boy looking at the exposed long legs of a woman wearing a frilly dress

four black and white film stills showing spectacular song-and-dance numbers with huge numbers of choreographed dancing girls

two colourful geometric film posters for “Gold Diggers of 1933” noting it as “The biggest show on earth”

#OKru Gold Diggers of 1933, 1933. Four completely spectacular Busby Berkeley song & dance sequences make this film stand out, though the plot of showgirls winning wealthy men by pretending to be gold diggers/chiselers/parasites is quite fun: “Cheap and vulgar!”

#OKru The Ugly Stepsister, 2025. Beautifully filmed, upended version of Cinderella, centring on the elder stepsister’s extreme trials with beauty standards in a patriarchal society. Yucky body horror but compelling.

two film stills showing a woman in trouble: in one she’s on a bed under lightning, in the other she shoved against a bathroom mirror

#OKru The Entity, 1981. What I thought might be a jolly little horror turned out to be very uncomfortable, as patriarchal misogyny asserts its supernatural rights by repeatedly raping Barbara Hershey. Yukkily effective, although not quite enough to sustain it to the end.

a film poster in two almost identical versions, one for ‘See No Evil’ and the other for ‘Blind Terror’, with a man’s legs in front of a bath with a woman’s body slumped half out, and an inset of a young woman’s face

#OKru See No Evil (AKA Blind Terror), 1971. Or, how not to be as good as Wait Until Dark while submitting Mia Farrow to as many indignities as possible. Blind-girl-against-killer flick has many good ideas but also too much flagposting of events/red herrings to come.

film still of a mysterious caped object standing in a darkened room with a television on

#OKru The Shrouds, 2024. David Cronenberg’s last (?) film about loss and the impossibility of recovery, is unsettling at first, then boring for a leisurely 90mins, and partially awakens for its last half hour.

three film stills showing a young woman in three contrasting modes

three film stills showing bodies covered by blood, oil and a mouth of razor blade

a painting with sea and a woman kissing a fish

people reflected in a painting and blood in a studio filled with huge sculptures

#OKru The Stendhal Syndrome, 1996. Splendid and stupid arty horror-thriller: Dario Argento directs his daughter Asia as a character-shifting cop/victim being stalked and serially raped by a serial killer, eek, as she falls into paintings. Corny early CGI charmingly enhances the dreamlike atmosphere.

Three film stills showing stages in an elaborate dance scene

five excepts from a film’s opening credits

#OKru Dance of the Vampires (AKA The Fearless Vampire Killers), 1966. Roman Polanski’s 4th film, co-starring future wife Sharon Tate, is an amiable romp through vampire lore, half homage, half satire. But today, like Carry On films, it just isn’t very funny. The dance sequence is great though.

two photographs from a film showing a man’s face with sinister eyeglasses in the shadows, and a woman in the light with her hair blowing in the air

#OKru Le Jetée, 1962. Chris Marker’s landmark sci-fi short effectively & poetically combines dead-pan narration & b&w photos, one subtly but magically coming to life. Hugely influential but the thoughtful, philosophical script is one-of-a-kind.

poster for a film misleadingly showing a skull over a house as if there was something scary or tense about the film

#OKru The People Under the Stairs, 1991. Extremely similar to Home Alone the previous year, and with just as much intelligence, wit & satire. Which is to say: I hated it.

two images from a film’s posters: a man’s face fractured with the text “what kind of man would frame himself for murder?”; a black & white image of a man and a woman being menaced by coloured blobs

#OKru Beyond a Reasonable Doubt, 1956. Fritz Lang’s last US movie is a pale shadow of his earlier efforts, as an anti-capital punishment activist tries to get convicted based on planted circumstantial evidence. Less interesting than it sounds.

a film poster showing a woman being menaced by a silhouette of a hand, headed “Sensational Lipstick Murder!” and with the words “Ask Mother” written in red lipstick

#OKru While the City Sleeps, 1956. Fritz Lang’s penultimate US film: a fascinating pre-Psycho mamma-boy serial killer tale, but subsumed into faintly interesting infighting between a media empire’s divisions. Characters are either flawed or clichés, like the slobbering, sweaty killer himself.

photos of the faces of a man and woman from a film, both trying to smile externally but obviously bottling something up inside

#OKru Get Out, 2017. Thoroughly unnerving, deliciously well-made and creepy, and with many important things to say - despite being a whole load of fun. Astonishing debut.

photos from a film: a priest leans forwards, a nun collapses backwards

photos from a film: two women separately lie on beds mirroring each others actions

poster for a film: a young nun above a woman pinned by robed figures

#OKru To the Devil a Daughter, 1976. Music influencing Children of the Stones, a plot echoing Rosemary’s Baby, and a sequence presaging 1979’s Alien, cut like a dance from the Suspiria remake - this is a bag of spare parts. Effective; nearly a worthy of earlier #Hammer Wheatley except ploddy pacing.

a still from a film showing a line-up of people against a sign saying “Sheila” and two film posters, each showing a ship and a large question mark

#OKru The Last of Sheila, 1973. Despite the starry creators (writers Stephen Sondheim & Anthony Perkins) this is an interesting rather than engaging murder mystery; in fact, as a film it’s a little boring and flat - thank goodness it’s still an interesting exercise!

part of a film poster showing two men’s faces in identical poses, holding a magnifying glass to one eye; text “Think of the perfect crime... Then go one step further”

#OKru Sleuth, 1972. Nasty little thriller about game players, with baroque script and effective performances, each twist turning the knives deeper. “Fun”.

photo from a film: in an overhead shot a woman is tied to a bed by two dark figures

#OKru The Disappearance of Alice Creed, 2009. Twisty turny plot holds interest with continuous carpet-pulling but, despite the great cast’s efforts, it doesn’t quite work and looks like a TV program (or a filmed stage play): blame the writer/director. Shot on the Isle of Man!

Picture of a man on a motorbike with monsters running beside him

#OKru Jurassic World, 2015. 1st film nostalgia adding some memorable things (the spherical pods, the pterodactyl attack, ruins of Jurassic Park) & ending with silliness. Villains follow the precepts of Hollywood studios (satire?). Quite fun, though Chris Pratt on a motorbike with raptors says it all

an older man holds and looks up at a young pretty woman in olde worlde dress

two lurid film posters: one mainly in red with fearsome images reflected in a facetted jewel; one mainly yellow/orange with a man, a woman and a dagger

#OKru Hands of the Ripper, 1971. Rippersploitation, the Next Generation: a pretty young woman + sparkling light + motherly kiss = violent death… Actually it’s pretty good; as the critics said about #Hammer, “bizarre atrocities erupting in a soberly recreated past”.

a collage of images from a film: a man and woman merge; a man looks into a mirror; a woman’s reflection is shown: a woman is followed.

#OKru Dr Jekyll and Sister Hyde, 1971. Posh production takes clichéd archetypes (Jack the Ripper, Burke & Hare, necrophilic morgue attendant, quiet scientist, lothario, virgin, whore, elegant seductress, bluff bobby, etc) and stirs them into a mindbending mixture - especially when viewed from today.

film stills: and old woman looks frightened; a young woman smiles and dances

#OKru Countess Dracula, 1971. 2.5yrs ago I wrote the following and it’s still true: Gloriously OTT fantasy loosely based on Elizabeth Báthory (alleged serial killer), filmed on the sets from the lavish Anne of the Thousand Days giving it a gravitas far exceeding the acting. Nevertheless, great fun!

black and while film stills: a man and woman are silhouetted against a window; a figure in flowing white runs away from a moonlit house

black and while film stills: a portrait of a woman in a white flowing dress looks down at two women talking; another portrait of the same woman in a flowing white dress is looked up at by a woman in black

black and while film stills: a woman and man, carrying a candelabra, look horrified in the darkness; four people sit at a ouija board, their fingers making a cross in the darkness

black and while film stills: a shadowy curved staircase circles through the centre of a house; varios prole approach or stand on it

#OKru The Uninvited, 1944. The original haunted house movie (actual ghost!) is a loose retelling of Rebecca, and similarly atmospheric and effective, through the overcomplicated plot prevents it from having the same narrative thrust and power.

collage of film stills: a group of young women walk up to a house; nasty thing happen

#OKru Hausu (House), 1977. Whacko candy-coloured Japanese haunted house tale that leans heavily into cheerful cliché, freewheeling surrealism, & extreme artificiality. But it’s annoying & when the bloodletting starts you just don’t care: it’s just more silly laughs. More enjoyable on a 2nd viewing?

a man wearing a dress clings to a person also in a dress with a lot of face make-up

three photos of a woman, two with a smaller figure next to her face

#OKru Thundercrack! 1975. Bizarro no-budget high camp mash-up of Tennessee Williams, John Cassavetes, non sequiturs, and pansexual hard core porn. Only Marion Eaton has any screen presence and, frankly, a much more rewarding experience would be to read the witty script.

collage of film photos: on one side twin girls progress from innocents to blood sucking predators; on the other side a man in black raises his arms and screams

#OKru Twins of Evil, 1971. What fun! - twins as the eternal Manichaean dualism (how novel, must be frustrating). And evil is pitted against another type of evil, religious hypocrisy (Peter Cushing) - a film for everyone. Add the soundtrack from a spaghetti western and it’s a fairly enjoyable ride.

Mirrored film stills showing a glamorous female vampire grooming two of her young and pretty victims

#OKru The Vampires Lovers, 1970. #Hammer’s sexy lesbian vampire romp opens the ‘70s, though it’s actually a lot classier than that. Good atmosphere, and a real sense of dread as the macabre game is replayed to claim each new victim.

movie poster showing a cowering green girl clutching a doll surrounded by menacing vignettes; CHILDREN OF ICE AND DARKNESS... THEY ARE THE LURKING, UNSEEN EVIL YOU DARE NOT FACE ALONE! “these are The Damned”

#OKru The Damned (AKA These are the Damned), 1962. Uneasy mix of youff gang violence, country idyl, sci-fi horror, fascinating anti-nuclear allegory, and pretentious grandiosity - poorly scripted/directed/acted by top notch artists…

shots from a black and white film: a woman stands defiantly on a staircase; a younger woman looks at the staircase woman in a kind of showdown

shots from a black and white film: a young woman looks startled in a mirror when she sees a younger woman asleep in a chair; the younger woman wears the other’s clothes and holds her trophy as she bows to her infinite reflections

Reynold’s portrait of actress Sarah Siddons in a black and white film: behind an older woman, made into an award trophy, the trophy being handed to a younger woman

poster for a film “all about eve” in bright graphics on a white background, like a more recent Almodóvar film poster

After a delicious pasta at Jorge’s I showed him an Old Film: #OKru All About Eve, 1950. Superb, witty, literate, perfectly cast and acted, and still scoring goals after all these years. The Substance is a contemporary reworking but the original is as relevant as ever.

three film posters with lurid combinations of skeletons on horses

#OKru Captain Clegg (AKA Night Creatures), 1962. Fun #Hammer tale of C18th piracy and smuggling in the marshes, beautifully mounted - apart from the usual dreadful day-for-night sequences! - and with a suitably spry Peter Cushing.

two film posters for THE REPTILE showing drawings of the face of a female/reptile monster

#OKru The Reptile, 1966. Quietly effective #Hammer as the fish-out-of-water slowly discover that the frying pan is getting rather heated. Silly but also a lot of fun, as is the sense of revisiting the ‘Cornish’ village from other films.
