With Halloween drawing ever closer, Nina Romain looks at werewolf movies you could select for next month, and why everyone loves a hairy horror anti-hero. Getting your Halloween viewing organised? As well as the classics such as American Werewolf in London (1981) or Teenwolf (1985) to enjoy next month, horror buffs can look forward to […]
So many great films have been set in unforgettable houses or accommodations. Think of the flawless glass-and-wood home in Tom Ford’s A Single Man (2009), and how its austere symmetry echoed the sophistication and suffocation of the lead character. Or the layers in the Gothic mansion in Guillermo del Toro’s Crimson Peak (2015). You may recall how the home comprises three […]
People Aren’t Going to the Movies Anymore Movie theaters are dying, but they aren’t dead yet, and there may still be time to save them. If you’re a filmmaker or a film fan, it behooves you to do what you can to reverse the trend of people opting to stream movies at home rather than […]
Four years into running Cultpix, a global streaming service for obscure films, I’ve learned that the most creative inspiration often comes from the most unexpected places When I stood on stage at the Creativity Conference London, held under the umbrella of the Raindance Film Festival London (see what I did there?), I made what might […]
The 78th Cannes Film Festival is rushing successfully towards the finish line, with the big screen’s great and good working the red carpets. Like all film nerds, Nina Romain is dealing (unsuccessfully) with the annual crushing disappointment about not being able to see the Promenade de la Croisette…by talking to some Brit producers about why […]
With everyone working on a better version of themselves in the New Year, Nina Romain looks at creating a completely new version of yourself onscreen. With 2025 finally upon us and everyone full of the “New year, new you” self-improvement resolution, we’re all about hitting the gym, eating healthier and saving more money. But how about […]
Primer, a ‘real’ time travel movie In the last post I raved about Primer, a time travel move made on a budget that would buy you about 1% of a family house in Cambridge, England (and about ½% of one in Cambridge, MA). The plot is brilliant, the acting is pretty good (but what do […]
Gotta Love a Time Travel Movie “Oh, if only …” People love time travel movies because they offer the dream of going back and doing it again, but right this time. Daring to kiss that girl or boy. Buying that company’s shares. Actually looking before stepping into the road. This dream is (OK, I admit […]
Faith failing you? With Hugh Grant dipping a foot in horror for the first time since the 1980s, Nina Romain looks into films investigating belief…and what happens when religion goes wrong on the silver screen. Religion plays an important part in horror: whether it’s a general motif such as crucifixes warding off vampires or in The Exorcist (1973), […]
I love independent filmmaking. Why? Creativity is the heartbeat of every project. As filmmakers, we constantly engage with ideas, characters, stories, and technologies in new ways. But when we talk about creativity, we often use two terms interchangeably — invention and discovery. And without fully understanding their distinctions. However, knowing the difference between these two […]
