The Stepfather, Joseph Ruben (1987)
Joseph Ruben’s The Stepfather is a competently executed slasher flick that hits all the expected plot points and thrills at all the right times. Witness the gradual reveal of stepfather Jerry Blake’s murderous psychosis! Identify with his new daughter Stephanie (Jill Schoelen) as her complaints of Blake’s creepiness go unheeded! Salivate (or, alternately, cringe) at the gratuitous display of...

“To see is this other torture, atoned for
In the pain of being seen: the spoken,
The seen, contained in the refusal
To speak, and the seed of a single voice,
Buried in a random stone.
My lies have never belonged to me.”
— Paul Auster (eleventh poem from “Spokes”, 1970)

Magnificent Visions →
I had recently traveled to Iquitos, a Peruvian city on the Amazon River, to investigate the use of ayahuasca, a much-storied hallucinogenic tea prepared from botanical ingredients native to the tropical rain forest and used by indigenous tribal peoples for purposes medical, magical, and ritual. Iquitos is quickly becoming one of those mythic places like Jerusalem, Dharamsala, and Rome, where...

LIFE IS ONLY ON EARTH AND NOT FOR LONG.
by Letitia Trent
Melancholia opens with eerie, dream-like, slow-motion scenes: A woman clutches her child as she trudges through wet ground on an immaculate golf course, another woman watches as wisps of energy leak form her fingertips, and a…

House, Nobuhiko Obayashi, 1977
Spoilers ahead, so read with caution.
*******
“Damn,” my friend T said as we were halfway through Nobuhiko Obayashi’s frenetic debut, House. “I wish I’d brought my bong.”
This is a very logical reaction to the lysergic charms and horrors of House. The film—especially in its recent American revival on various midnight movie circuits—is justly famous for being trippy as shit. Save for 3D (which I...
