Hell is a Teenage Girl

The latest theme over at Electric Sheep is 'Daughters of Darkness', inspired by the BFI's lengthy Gothic season. Having written a monograph on Brian De Palma's Carrie for Auteur Publishing's Devil's Advocates series, I thought it would be fun to look at similar movies centering on violent adolescent females. The resulting piece, Hell is a Teenage Girl, features Poison Ivy, Ginger Snaps, Teeth and The Loved Ones among many others and can be read by clicking on the link below.

Review of 'Stalker' for Electric Sheep - http://tinyurl.com/3wgkcsm

With all of the late Andrei Tarkovsky's films recently released in DVD and Blu Ray box sets Electric Sheep have spent the last month looking at the individual films that make up his lasting legacy. My contribution to this celebration is a review of his masterpiece Stalker. It's difficult to do justice to Tarkovsky's films as they really need to be experienced, pondered over and watched again. If you haven't seen Stalker you really should, as soon as possible. Every now and again a film comes along that changes the very nature of cinema and how audiences subsequently look at the real world, this is one of them.
