This week on Friday Night Frightfest, we're revisiting the terrifying world of alien seduction and deadly offspring! We'll be comparing the second and third installments in the Species franchise: Species II (1998) and Species III (2004). Species II (1998) Directed by Peter Medak, Species II picks up where the original left off. This time, the alien DNA has returned to Earth via a manned mission to Mars. When the astronaut infected with the alien pathogen begins a violent and rapid evolution, a new, even more dangerous alien threat emerges, focused on procreation and domination. Species III (2004) Directed by Brad Turner, Species III takes a slightly different approach. It focuses on Sara, the human/alien hybrid daughter of Eve (from the first two films). As Sara matures, she grapples with her alien instincts while scientists attempt to understand and control her unique biology. This installment explores themes of nature versus nurture and the potential for hybrid existence. Join us as we delve into the evolutionary horrors of the Species sequels. We'll discuss how each film expands upon the original's themes of alien biology and sexual predation, analyze their creature designs and special effects, and debate which sequel offers the more compelling and terrifying vision of alien infiltration. Spoilers start around 7:28.

Daphne du Maurier was a prolific English writer of novels, plays, and short stories resonant with what she termed "a sense of unreality." In this episode, JF and Phil discuss her great short story "Don't Look Now," which Nicholas Roeg famously adapted to the screen in 1973 in a film starring Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie. Recorded live at Shannon Taggart's Lily Dale Symposium on July 25th, 2024, the discussion takes a number of turns, exploring the ghost as an "image of itself," the phenomenon of "deathishness," the experience of derealization, the human capacity to break time, and grief as a rift in time.

The ALL NEW Big Wakeup Call with Ryan Gatenby

From June 22, 2020:  Award-winning international film director Peter Medak called in for a chat about his latest movie, "The Ghost of Peter Sellers."In September 1973 Peter Sellers embarked on the production of a 17th Century pirate comedy in Cyprus for Columbia Pictures (Ghost in the Noonday Sun). Sellers lost confidence with the film as soon as it began and desperately tried to sabotage it, firing the producers in the first week and then setting his sights on his friend the director, Peter Medak. At its core lies the story of an unraveling production but also the tale of a young director firmly on a path to greatness. Medakhad made 3 back-to-back successes; most notably 'The Ruling Class' in 1972 with Peter O'Toole (nominated for the Palm D'Or). This film changed his career forever. After 43 years the wounds have barely healed for Medak and this is his opportunity to tell the story and finally release the weight associated with its failure. The Ghost of Peter Sellers is a comic-tragic feature doc about what it takes to be a film director and survive your biggest disaster.

We had better get a head start on summer, with the first in a series of episodes featuring horror movies from the 80s.  Because we're behind schedule with episode releases and we're going to have to do some cramming!And there's probably no better way to kick things off than with Stanley Kubrick's version of the Stephen King classic, The Shining (1980). Is it just a little bit overexposed, though? Why is it so enduringly fascinating? Are the Grady "twins" actually twins? And can someone just go visit the location where The Shining was filmed? This is such a huge, intimidating movie, that we had to call in some backup. The Average Amy returns to the podcast to help us answer some of these questions.How about a  slow-burn haunter that may be somewhat overlooked? George C.

Al final de la escalera destaca en el género de terror como uno de sus títulos más emblemáticos. Con una cuidada planificación del húngaro Peter Medak, la factura del film es impecable. El caserón vigila al compositor John Russell, que pretende seguir adelante con su vida tras perder en un accidente a su mujer y a su hija en la primera secuencia. Medak contó con el operador John Coquillon, el uso de picados para enfatizar la presencia del niño espectro, los planos generales de la fachada, los travellins envolventes, inquietantes contrapicados, y el uso del gran angular sobre los rostros de angustia del morador de esa casa a las afueras de Seattle, y de la mujer a través de quien pudo alquilarla, y que le ayuda en su investigación del secreto que encierra la habitación al final de la escalera. En este contexto, asistimos a escenas escalofriantes desde un enfoque sobrio. Medak no abusa de os efectos especiales, lo que aporta autenticidad a la historia. ¿Qué ha ocurrido tras esa puerta cerrada con candado? Russell interioriza su miedo, quiere descubrir la motivación de un niño para hacerse oír desde el más allá. A las seis de la mañana comienzan a sonar los golpes metálicos, rítmicos, seguidos, son el grito de auxilio de una criatura que pide justicia. Un film de atmósfera opresiva, intenso y con un ritmo escalofriante, engrandecido por la presencia severa de George C Scott en el papel protagonista, y de su mujer en la vida real, Trish Van Devere, el factor femenino, la esperanza de un nuevo inicio. Y, como no, un soberbio Melvin Douglas, el senador, el sustituto de una vida prestada. El film destila desesperaciones encontradas, la de un hombre que ha perdido a su familia, la de un niño asesinado, la de un viejo que tiene que enfrentarse a la temida verdad al final de una escalera en llamas. Esta noche cogemos la pelotita que se acerca dando rítmicos botes… Zacarías Cotán, Raúl Gallego y Salvador Limón

The Changeling concerns an esteemed New York pianist/composer named John Russell (George C. Scott) who accepts a lectureship position in Seattle for solitude and restoration following the deaths of his wife and daughter in a roadside accident. Claire Norman (Trish  Van Devere), a volunteer at the local Historical Preservation Society, moves him into a massive old Victorian-Gothic mansion located outside the city that hasn't had anyone living in it in at least twelve years. Russell soon discovers that the house isn't as uninhabited as he thought, as things begin to occur (banging noises, bathroom water taps, a boy's image is glimpsed within the water) though it could also be his grief-fueled imagination. He's told that the house has a history and doesn't want people living in it. Later, Russell senses the house wants to tell him something. He discovers a locked secret room that resembles a nursery, containing a rusty wheelchair and an antique music box that plays a song he'd been composing since he entered the house. Claire tries to help, digging into the sordid history of the house, including a revealing seance that leads them to make contact with the spirit within who provides more clues to the 70-year-old mystery that must be solved to find peace.

In this episode we talk to top Bucharest film critic and academic Andrei Gorzo about the aesthetics, history and political context of Romanian cinema. Andrei outlines how the fall of Nicolae Ceaușescu in 1989 effected a liberalisation of society, culture and the arts. But it not would be for another 10 years until the Romanian New Wave and directors like Cristi Puiu, Cornelie Porumboiu and Cristian Mungiu would spark a distinctive cinema emerge that would attained international acclaim. Andrei's research and writing is anchored by an encyclopaedic knowledge of international cinema and the connections between the emergence of the New Wave, Romania's communist history, the post-war European canon and popular cinema of the West. In this wide-ranging discussion, Andrei outlines the adoption of specific kind of realism, the problem of the concept of a national cinema with regards to Romania, the varying responses to the post-communist malaise, and the complex depiction of the uncertain relationship between the state and capitalism.  Also in this episode, Neil reviews the soon to be released BFI Blu-Ray of Romeo is Bleeding, directed by Peter Medak, and starring Gary Oldman and Lena Olin.
