9 h. ago ‘I was a mess for hours afterwards’: readers on their scariest films of all time

After Guardian writers shared their scariest Halloween watches, readers respond with their picks, from Jaws to The Blair Witch ProjectMy parents took me to see it in the theatre, under the impression that it would be appropriate for a seven-year-old. Princess Mombi’s macabre wardrobe of disembodied heads; the psychopathic laughter of the “wheelers”, with all four limbs ending in squeaky wheels; Nicol Williamson’s sinister, vicious Nome King – all are permanent fixtures in my unconscious hall of famous terrors. And Fairuza Balk’s Dorothy is eerie to match, a perfect uncanny heroine for a truly twisted “children’s” film. gradeoneirony Continue reading...

3 d. ago ‘I’ve played a lot of sneery bastards’: Roger Allam on bad singing, big paydays and Elgar’s level of ‘gitacity’

He launched a thousand memes as the beleaguered Tory MP in The Thick of It, and starred in the original production of Les Misérables. Now the actor is making not-so-sweet music in the Alan Bennett-scripted film The Choral. But there are plenty of things he draws the line at A key plot point of The Choral revolves around Roger Allam singing badly. This is the man who originated the role of Javert in Les Misérables back in 1985, who was Olivier-nominated for his performance in Cy Coleman’s musical City of Angels and who once contemplated a career as an opera singer.Talk me through that, I say: the bad singing. We’re at his home in southwest London. He’s very busy, filming, but a small window of time was found to meet – did I mind coming to his house? No, of course I didn’t, and here I am on a blustery Monday morning, perched on a chair next to him, sat in the corner on the sofa in a comfortable but anonymous front room looking on to a leafy street.

6 d. ago Strapped for cash: why Francis Ford Coppola is flogging his watches

Megalopolis’s grand self-funded folly has left the director at least $85m out of pocket, so he needs a helping handThe bad news for Francis Ford Coppola is that he made Megalopolis at exactly the wrong time. A long, pretentious, semi-coherent arthouse film about progress through architecture, starring Jon Voight’s erection and a man who can stop time for no apparent reason, was probably always going to struggle to make money.But to make it for over $100m of his own money and release it in 2024, in an age where the bulk of the public have largely given up on visiting the cinema, was disastrous. Its box office gross, in the end, was just $14.4m. For comparison, that puts it roughly in line with the gross of a French language biopic about Charles Aznavour released the same year. But that film cost four times less, didn’t open in any English-speaking countries and wasn’t about the proposed construction of a glowing golden city. Continue reading...

7 d. ago ‘You just believe’: why Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is my feelgood movie

The latest in our series of writers highlighting their mood-lifting watches is a travel back to 1971 for the definitive Roald Dahl adaptationThere are some days when the only thing that can lift your mood is seeing a man in a top hat play the flute to summon a jodhpur-wearing Oompa-Loompa. Luckily, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory has plenty of that and a lot more besides. I don’t care if you’ve just received a terminal diagnosis or found out your wife’s been having an affair with Chris Martin, you stick this film on and you’ll smile.The last time I watched it, before rewatching for this article, was with my wife and infant son in the week after his birth. He was too busy crapping himself to understand what was going on so the film was obviously just for us. Why would two thirtysomethings choose to watch a children’s film from the 1970s? Perhaps we were nostalgic for our own lost childhoods of watching it every Christmas and bank holiday, perhaps we were excited for the near ...

1 week ago The Guardian view on a bumper crop of horror: scary times call for even scarier films | Editorial

A new wave of socially engaged movies is storming the box office and changing how we think about the genreIt should surprise no one to learn that 2025 is being hailed as a golden year for horror films. All horror movies are a reflection of their time, and ours are pretty scary.Tech dystopianism means that Frankenstein’s monster has become a byword for AI, while Bram Stoker’s Dracula has always drawn on a dark strain of English xenophobia. So it is no coincidence that these 19th-century gothic villains, stars of the earliest horror films in the 1920s and 30s, are back in cinemas with new adaptations from directors Guillermo del Toro and Luc Besson. Maggie Gyllenhaal is bringing out another Frankenstein, The Bride!, next year.Do you have an opinion on the issues raised in this article?
