Horror Film Reviews Part One: # - A

A Telekfilm Guide

De: Scott Telek

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Funny, insightful, provocative and engaging, Scott Telek’s movie writing is never boring. Culled from the acclaimed website he ran from 2015 to 2013, these reviews bring attention to under-appreciated cult gems and call out hidden themes in films we think we know.

Telek’s point of view on film focuses less on whether a movie is “good” and considers everything equally as a work of creative art, however misguided it may be. He will frequently divert into discussion of the social issues raised by a film or simply pepper his reviews with jokes. His love of the bizarre, subversive, wicked and just plain weird finds much material in the horror genre, which he treats with respect and deep affection.

Focused exclusively on the horror genre, this first volume includes movies that begin with numbers or the letter A, containing 29 reviews that are a mere fraction of the horror coverage Telek covered during his time as a critic. In addition to multiplex releases like 28 Days Later or 1408, Telek dives in to obscure cult favorites like Alice, Sweet Alice, Italian Giallos like Aenigma, bizarre oddities such as Antropohpagus—with its notorious scene of shocking violence—and even foreign arthouse favorites such as Tzameti.
