Dario Argento

The stylistic and bloody excesses of the films of Dario Argento are instantly recognisable. Vivid, baroque and nightmarish, his films picture violent deaths in a twisted embrace with an almost sexual beauty. Hailed as one of horror cinema's most significant pioneers, Argento continues to create inimitable and feverishly violent films. His work has influenced the likes of Tarantino and Scorsese and his mastery of the genre is confirmed with his production of celebrated classics such as George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead.

Directed by Gore Verbinski

My Friend Dahmer

To the public, Dahmer was a monster who committed unthinkable atrocities. To Derf Backderf, "Jeff" was a much more complex figure: a high school friend with whom he had shared classrooms, hallways, and car rides. In My Friend Dahmer, a haunting and original graphic novel, writer-artist Backderf creates a surprisingly sympathetic portrait of a disturbed young man struggling against the morbid urges emanating from the deep recesses of his psyche; a shy kid, a teenage alcoholic, and a goofball who never quite fit in.
