The Texas Chain Saw Massacre receives yet another in-depth documentary, courtesy of Alexandre O. Philippe. Stephen King and Takashi Miike, among others, discuss what the film means to them. Iain MacLeod reviews a documentary that, despite the personal viewpoints, struggles to shed new light on an over-familiar subject.

True crime meets cosmic horror in Stuart Ortiz’s genre mash-up, detailing the increasingly horrifying killing spree of serial killer Mr. Shiny. Iain MacLeod reviews this grisly horror that takes a familiar format to tell something quite original.

After establishing his name in film with the superb features HUNGER and SHAME and then garnering awards with the sublime 12 YEARS A SLAVE, artist Steve McQueen looked briefly like he might be heading down a slightly more mainstream route with the heist thriller WIDOWS. Yet his next big project was the fascinating SMALL AXE anthology series for the BBC, a collection of no less than five films exploring the lives of West Indian immigrants in London from the 1960’s to the 1980’s.

With his latest project OCCUPIED CITY, McQueen continues to be as unpredictable as he is ground breaking even if the sheer volume of the project may well mean it struggles to find anything close to a mainstream audience.
