Beschrijving

On this episode, where celluloid gets under your skin and the strange becomes sublime. I'm joined by my friend Davis, who is as obsessed with Italian film copyright as I am. We’re diving deep into the eerie, atmospheric catalogue of Mario Bava Italy’s master of camera movement, projectors, and stylish dread. We chat about his final film: Shock (1977). Released in the twilight of his career and co-directed with his son Lamberto Bava, Shock is a haunting fusion of psychological horror and supernatural terror, with a side of domestic decay and one seriously creepy kid. Was it a fitting farewell from a director who basically invented half the visual language of horror as we know it? Or a quietly unsettling oddity that still doesn’t get the respect it deserves? We’ve got thoughts. We’ve got chills. We’ve got Davis!

Kind Hearts and Coronets

I'm joined by my friend Harry Marks; we're sharpening our arrows and polishing our family crests as we dive into Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949), a comedy as refined as it is ruthless. Directed by Robert Hamer and starring Alec Guinness as eight doomed aristocrats. We also discuss the Marx Brothers and the rhythm of comedy. Does Kind Hearts and Coronets break that rhythm for its own level of wit, or is it so dry you forgot to laugh? Is it a biting satire of class and cruelty disguised as the charming foibles of our main antagonist? Or a velvet-gloved slap to the face of British respectability?

Shiver Of The Vampires

Welcome to the Emma of the Impact the Film Podcast, a podcast that Bites Back! Slowly. In this episode, my old pal Mark Mallman and I discuss Shiver of the Vampires. This is Jean Rollin’s psychedelic 1971 vague, gothic dream, where every castle corridor echoes with color and surreal sensuality. But this episode isn’t just about erotic vampires and avant-garde projectors. Together, we unravel not just the film’s hypnotic aesthetic and cult appeal, but also dive into what it means to be an artist on your own terms. A rally against perfectionism! The celebration of raw creativity, messy editing, and finding joy in the weird corners of cinema. So pour yourself a goblet of red (wine or blood, no judgment), and let’s talk women, grainy film, goofy cousins, and why sometimes the best art doesn’t care if it’s clean. We just need some fun. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and join us in the comments. Let the shivers begin. Boo!
