The blunt opening title card of “Shining Vale” feels like a test: “Women are twice as likely as men to suffer from depression,” it reads, seeming to signal the beginning of a clunky show about Women and Depression — at least until the next sentence appears onscreen. “Women are also twice as likely to be possessed by a demon,” it says, a immediate and deliberate wink of self-awareness at an audience that might’ve already tried to write the show off. What’s more, it adds: “the symptoms are the same.”
Throughout the first seven episodes made available for critics (the season will have eight in total), “Shining Vale” follows a Brooklyn family coming to grips with the inherent strangeness of their new Connecticut home to increasingly catastrophic ends. It also ends up juggling so many tricky narrative plates — depression, generational trauma, the slow and steady awakening of a haunted house...

The UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television revealed the winners for this year’s screenwriting showcase on June 8 via a virtual Zoom ceremony attended by nearly 70 Mfa screenwriting students, faculty, and staff.
During the event, host Cat Wilkins acknowledged the deaths of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and George Floyd and encouraged support and allyship for the Black community. The attendees ordered in from Black-owned restaurants during the virtual ceremony and were surprised by special guests including Pose co-creator and UCLA Alum Steven Canals, Oscar-winning filmmaker John Ridley, and showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman.
“I know this is a really strange time culturally, and it may not feel like a time you want to celebrate, but you should absolutely take this opportunity to pat yourself on the back,” Canals said. “Stories matter. Stories are important. That is the way that we reflect our humanity…and heal the world.

It’s easy to believe that trapped housewives belong to a bygone era, with revelatory literary works like Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper” (1892) and Betty Friedan’s “The Feminine Mystique” (1963) taking on the kind of mythological esteem reserved for horrors long past. A century or two later, it seems we’ve evolved beyond such hidebound sexism. But “Swallow,” the revelatory first feature from Carlo Mirabella-Davis is here to tell us, in no uncertain terms, that the past isn’t quite as past as we might like to think.

On paper, Netflix’s newest original series, Alias Grace, appears to be another product of Seo and word cloud analysis:
“People watch period pieces like Downtown Abby and fiction based on true crime.”
“Hulu had a big hit with adapting a Margaret Atwood book!”
“Women Behind Bars and Killer Women both get lots of hits among a key demo.”
Regardless if the methods for generating content like House of Cards and Stranger Things are stomach churning, the results are generally enjoyable. Alias Grace, based on Atwood’s fictionalized examination of the Irish immigrant at the center of a historical 19th-century murder, is no exception.
While a narrative primarily organized around the psychiatric evaluation (think In Treatment) of the increasingly troubled life of a young servant in Victorian Ontario may not be promising, the result is cooly intoxicating. Anchored by Sarah Gadon’s subtle performance as Grace Marks, and punctuated by stabs of del Toro-esque imagery,...

The question “why horror?” has been answered again and again. Studies have shown that, for willing participants, the voluntary release of fear is a healthy thing. What I have to say will not apply to everyone, then, because not everyone wants to be frightened. Many of us have recently been frightened, in a new, giant, eclipsing way. Those of us who love horror, then, have a greater need for it now.
For centuries, horror has been used as a spurning, inspiring emotion in art. Euripides uses terrifying imagery and events in two landmark works: the Oresteia, an examination of how a democratic justice system can conquer chaos, and The Bacchae, a bleakly violent warning to Athens as it approached catastrophic war. Far before such issues were accepted in public discussions, Oscar Wilde wrote of the fear of sexual aberrance in The Picture of Dorian Gray. Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle...

For some, it seems that Gothic fiction is synonymous with classic or old fiction. Modern horror may use aspects of the Gothic, but it is still rooted in fluorescent lights and electronics—few storytellers have found a way to blend these things together into a true representation of that genre. That is not to say that it has not happened. In 2009, young author Helen Oyeyemi descended upon the literary world with a shattering and brilliant novel called White is for Witching. And seven years later, this novel is very seldom discussed. That is a shame, I dare say a tragedy, because Oyeyemi's story creates a truly Gothic, beautiful exploration of millennial terrors.
Oyeyemi was in her early twenties when she wrote White is for Witching, which both surprises me and seems inevitable. Her writing is confident, solid, and searing—signs of a mature author; but she uses her brilliance to...

At just 17 years old, Amandla Stenberg has probably accomplished more than many of us had at that age, given the dynamic life that she's lived thus far, from her acting to her activism, and everything else between. It's hard not to be impressed with the young lady, and I can only imagine what lies ahead for her, with hopefully many years left to exist, create, influence, inspire, and more. Two years ago, at 15 years old, she wrote, directed, shot and edited (yup, she did it all) a 13-minute short film titled, "The Yellow Wallpaper," based on the short story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, that documents the experiences of a woman who's suffering from a mental illness, when she...

Lots happening in Hollywood this week. Here’s a quick primer on stories you might have missed!
• Harry Potter Meets The Others Meets The Purge. Alejandro Amenábar (The Others, Thesis, Open Your Eyes) drops his latest psychological thriller, Regression, May 10 on Blu-ray and DVD as well as on demand through Starz Digital. With a script by Amenábar and a cast that includes Oscar nominee Ethan Hawke, Harry Potter alums Emma Watson (Hermione) and David Thewlis (Lupin), and veteran Dale Dickey (Iron Man 3, Super 8, The Yellow Wallpaper, True Blood), this satanic-cult thriller has a lot of potential. I know what I’ll be doing May 10!
• Everything Old Is New Again. CBS has found the lead for its reboot of the Richard Dean Anderson action-fantasy series MacGyver. Deadline reports that Lucas Till (X-men: Days Of Future Past, Stoker, Kristy) has signed on to play the innovative secret agent known for...

This review contains spoilers.
1.3 The Education Of A Magician
This is the one. This is the episode that added Regency England’s more sombre notes to Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell’s lively march of enchantment and manners. Previously muffled chords of war, slavery and madness rang out in a key-change that turned the composition's tone from sparkling to solemn.
As well it might. Nineteenth century power politics are a solemn business for those without any, as Lady Pole and Stephen Black found out this week. Their bondage may be down to a magical contract, but a squirming snake nest of real-life gender, race and class systems sits underneath it.
As well as the literal ties now binding Lady Pole, her powerlessness and Stephen’s is expressed through...

Todd Haynes receives his first entry in the Criterion collection with a beautiful restoration of his landmark 1995 sophomore feature, Safe, the film that launched the status of burgeoning star Julianne Moore. Though initial reactions to the film were perplexing after a premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, a growing cult following cemented the film’s reputation as a fascinating example of Haynes’ remarkable control of mise en scene, as well as a deliberately refined AIDs allegory ahead of its time. Recuperated famously as a case study as pertains to practices and definitions of whiteness, it may very well be Haynes’ most invigorating work precisely because of all the avenues of projection its fascinating obliqueness provides.
The narrative is relatively simple, especially as pertains to the work of Haynes, who often prizes experimental, non-linear narratives. A suburban housewife residing in the San Fernando Valley of 1987, Carol White (Julianne Moore) finds herself...

Thanks to Orlando Jones for the heads-up on Twitter (he co-stars with Amandla Stenberg in Fox's "Sleepy Hollow," playing father and daughter). Here's a short film directed, shot and edited (yup, she did all of that) by Stenberg titled, "The Yellow Wallpaper," which is based on the short story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, that documents the experiences of a woman who's suffering from a mental illness, when she moves into an old house to help clear her mind. Apparently (or maybe not-so much) Stenberg, who's just 15 years old by the way, might have behind-the-camera aspirations; Or it may just be a passing fancy. The short is classified as "a student film," by the way. Did I mention...

Juliet Landau is known for being the vile vampiress Drusilla on Joss Whedon’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the spinoff Angel. But lately she’s been directing a horror-themed music video for Godhead called Hero, directing a documentary about Gary Oldman, and writing two issues of the Angel comic book for Idw that feature her character. Landau has appeared in all kinds of movies, from Tim Burton’s Ed Wood to her most recent appearance in a kid’s movie, but she’s a driving force behind the camera as well as has a very distinct creative vision. Juliet shares her latest projects with us...
“It was an unbelievable experience,” she says about working with Tim Burton (She played the spoiled actress Ed Wood is forced to work with.) “It was obscenely fun. It was what moviemaking should be. I had a great time on that.”

It's so Hollywood for an actor to admit that what he or she really wants to do is direct. And it's even more Hollywood for an actor to direct an actor directing, in some vain attempt at creating a vehicle for a side career. But in the case of Juliet Landau — daughter of Martin Landau and Barbara Bain and most recognized for her role as Drusilla in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel — her first directing project is innovative and feels surprisingly un-Hollywood. Landau's short, Take Flight (www.julietlandaustakeflight.com), began as a basic making-of documentary for a nanobudget music video Gary Oldman directed while shooting this summer's blockbuster Dark Knight. Take Flight is a technologically groundbreaking yet intimate glimpse into Oldman's creative process. Not only does the audience get to see a goofier, looser, and even wistful side to the actor whose characters are usually borderline psychotic, but because...
