The Psychic
(FILM) In my current assessment of Lucio Fulci’s The Past for The Stranger‘s Psychotronic Movie Problem, I shared an admittedly scorching take: For those who assume you need to see an Argento flick, what you are really searching for is Fulci. No shade to Argento—he is a grasp of fashion and ambiance. (He may’ve even invented bisexual lighting by chance.) However Lucio Fulci delivered giallo at its greatest: His movies are usually psychological, fashionable, and, most significantly, brutal. The Psychic is one other Fulci nice, but it surely seems like a departure for the gorehound giallo director—it is an understated, slow-burn homicide thriller, framed round unusual premonitions and 7 musical notes.

Double Characteristic: Bride of Frankenstein and Younger Frankenstein
(FILM/MUSIC) As a Mary Shelley stan, every of the Frankenstein movie variations has disillusioned me—the unique textual content incorporates darkness and depth that the movies have by no means captured (we will see if Guillermo del Toro delivers along with his upcoming adaptation). Nonetheless, I am prepared to confess that as standalone movies, Bride of Frankenstein and Younger Frankenstein are the perfect entries within the monster saga. Regardless of being filmed practically 40 years aside, each films reinvent the mad scientist story whereas not taking themselves too severely. Get into the Halloween spirit this week because the Seattle Symphony performs the unique Bride of Frankenstein rating by Franz Waxman. For the second act, the orchestra will take a break whereas the viewers howls at Mel Brooks’ 1974 comedy traditional Young Frankenstein.
