One of the key criticisms bandied about regarding horror movies in recent years has been the abundance of films which have focused on the brutalisation of women. Films like I Spit On Your Grave and its sequel, Maniac, Hidden In The Woods and many other films have focused on this aspect, some have done so in a manner which feels like it has a point to make, some do so veering close to doing it in an exploitative sense, indeed the BBFC felt so with the cut version of I Spit… Julia also fits into this rubric but while there are some aspects which are certainly problematic, as a film in its own right, it’s more interesting...

One of the key criticisms bandied about regarding FrightFest in recent years has been the abundance of films which have focused on the brutalisation of women, something that even marked one of the festival’s usually rather fun “Turn Your Bloody Phone Off!” idents back in 2012. The recent I Spit On Your Grave efforts, Maniac, Hidden In The Woods and many other films have focused on this aspect, some have done so in a manner which feels like it has a point to make, some do so veering close to doing it in an exploitative sense, indeed the BBFC felt so with the cut version of I Spit… which played a couple of years ago.

Doubtby Steve Ramos, Writer Meryl Streep is the perfect villain in suspenseful ‘Doubt’ If esteemed film critic Pauline Kael were still alive, watching and reviewing movies, I imagine she would pounce all over Meryl Streep for her performance in “Doubt” as villainous Sister Aloysius, a Bronx school principal and Catholic nun in 1964, convinced that a young priest, Father Flynn (Philip Seymour Hoffman), molested a male student. Kael frequently accused Streep of playacting, of emphasizing foreign accents and changes in her physical appearance instead of more natural performances. With “Doubt,” the most intimate of the year- end, prestige releases, a period film drama that’s nearly perfect, Kael would have targeted Streep’s Irish lilt, wire-framed spectacles and black bonnet and cloak.
