So, Resident Evil Village is a FPS. Interesting. Even more so if you’re one of the few who knows the franchise, before making it as the originator of the survival horror trend, was to be a FPS. Resident Evil ? A FPS? Come on, we all know it was fixed cameras, tank control, polished drawn decorum and 3D character models. There was no first person perspective involved. Well, this might depend on who you ask. For if you asked Capcom from 1995 to 2015, they would have answered by the negative. It’s Shinji Megami who said so, right after the…

The garden fence sat white and still and white and broken. Ben and Annette had just bought the house, signed the papers, got the keys. The thirty-four year old man now stood in the summer sun. The leaves rustling in the trees overhead as a slight breeze pushed them over.

Ekachai Uekrongtham’s movie sat on my shelves for the longest of time. I often talk about my dusty shelves, how it’s often a mistake when I left an art piece to rot on them.

But am getting ahead of myself once again. let’s go back to the beginning.

Mathieu Turi was born in Cannes, and believe it or not but when he was a teenager, he once infiltrated the festival to shake Georges Lucas’…

Colour Out of Space is a good story. For one, it doesn’t really delve into Lovecraft’s racism. Plus there is this very humane subplot, not at all common in Lovecraftian work, in which it is the greed of man that actually may bring his downfall. You remember the mayor in Jaws ultimately wanting to reopen the beaches despite warnings and common sense? There’s a bit of that in Colour out of Space. Sure, it’s mainly about a meteorite falling on an estranged farm and the mutation it will bring to the flora all around, then to the cattle and with…

This tale I wanted to send to a French publisher, but then I didn’t write it and then I wrote it in English. Enjoy.

The little girl had seen the boy before he told her to come with him and this might explain why she followed. Before this, she had been playing with a discarded stick, drawing arcane mandalas in the mud which was the street. Even she could not understand them.
