Peter Nellhaus on War-Gods of the Deep: "That [Jacques] Tourneur's final work was originally written by his Night of the Demon collaborator Charles Bennett suggests thwarted promises of what might have been a better film."

"Between the years 1971 and 1978, the BBC ran an annual Ghost Story for Christmas short film," writes Matt Bailey. "The series grew out of a very successful 1968 adaptation of Montague Rhodes (MR) James's story, 'Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You, My Lad,' directed by Jonathan Miller for the long-running BBC arts program, Omnibus. James only wrote 31 ghost stories, but seven of them (in addition to 'Whistle') have been the basis of the BBC's Christmas program, including the two most recent episodes from when the series was revived in 2005. One of the best BBC adaptations is of James's story, 'A Warning to the Curious.'"

Also at Not Coming to a Theater Near You, Jason Woloski: "There is a particularly great sequence in the middle of Jaws 2 of Brody going crazy, which I have to talk about."

Phil Morehart's latest clip at Facets Features comes from Ringu.
