Remembering David Lynch: A Master Of Mystery

Steven Spielberg knew what he was doing when he cast David Lynch as John Ford in The Fabelmans; already, in 2022, the director had become, like Ford, bigger than his movies, a living monument to cinema. Seeing Lynch in conversation back in 2007 at London’s BFI Southbank, before the release of Inland Empire, I was very mindful of that fact, writing that “seeing him speak to a packed house, with that silver pompadour, that black suit and buttoned-up, tie-less shirt, made me feel like a witness to history, like seeing Picasso, Churchill or Fred Astaire.”

‘Nosferatu’ Review: Robert Eggers’ Gothic Romance Is A Perverse, Technically Brilliant Tango With Death

When George A. Romero first started work on 1968’s Night of the Living Dead he very nearly ended up making an apocalyptic vampire movie. Something wasn’t quite right, however: vampire movies were a little bit… obvious? Indeed, Hammer’s Dracula cycle was still in mid flow, and the poor Count had been reduced to fighting Billy the Kid and Batman in sundry rip-off movies. By having his reanimated corpses ferociously gorge on the raw flesh and vital organs of the living instead of genteelly sucking their blood, Romero made an inspired move, patenting a genre that, even now, shows no signs of slowing down.
