Review of 'Into the Night'
In the old days, they used to have something called B-movies. They were intended to accompany the A-movie, the main attraction, in the double features that played in neighborhood movie houses, before television came along and ate their lunch and closed them down. Many of those B-movies were quite enjoyable, but they weren’t exactly Oscar material. I don’t think there were any B-television shows, certainly none on cable and none on Netflix, Amazon video, and other streaming services. But if ever there were a streaming television series that felt like a B-movie – in this case, a six-episode movie serial – it would be Into the Night, which went up on Netflix in May 2020.

Darksoul
So my friends you have come back for more. It is a joy to see you again. I told you last time that there is so much more to this tale, and if you take a walk with me I will be glad to tell it to you. I told you that our tale began in the woods, but for now let us leave these woods behind. For this journey we will need to walk between two worlds, one that was and one this is. Once there was a small path cut deep by wagon wheels the path leads deeper into the woods to the east, but we must trace the path to the west. Just outside the woods was a meadow, once deer grazed on the grass, the flowers were endless. Now as all things succumb to time and as it must be man feels he has to change thigs. This once nice meadow with grass growing as high as the eye, is now a park. At the far end of it a baseball field has been build, and at the other end swing, slides, and a few other things for kids to play on. When school is out at this park one could hear the crack of a bat hitting a ball, the squeak of swing chains, and the babble of kids. At night the teens would hang out smoking stolen cigarettes, and drinking beer. Now this park is grown over no one plays there anymore. The woods has claimed it as one of it's many victims.

Friend to Monster
There was a young and innocent little girl who found a small creature in the forest behind her house. The creature was like no other ever seen or talked about. It had a head of a rat, teeth of a cat, and wings like a bat's. It had a body of an ape, stood on two legs, legs were that of an ape, but the toes were talons. It's arms were long and slender full of black fur. Its eyes red and slit like a snake's. This little girl was very young and had not seen many creatures. She did not know that the curious little friend she found was something that shouldn't be around. She smiled at her little friend and full of innocent intention went to pat the little thing on the head. The creature did not resist and made noises like a purr, it seemed to like the pats from the little girl. Hearing her mother's call, the little girl went back inside her home. Leaving the little creature all alone.

A Filmmaker's Guide to: “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari” (1920)
In this chapter of ‘the filmmaker’s guide’ we are going to explore some of the films that have changed our outlook of the possibilities in cinema in some way, shape or form. These can include, but are not limited to: revolutionary cinematography, narratives that challenge the social structure and the common view, trademark styles of auter cinema, brilliant adaptations of novels and other works, films of philosophical value and films that touch our hearts and souls with their incredible underlying messages and morals. Within each of the films in this chapter there is a certain something that makes them special and a certain something that makes them linger long after we have watched them for the first time. Lasting impressions are difficult to create, but I think that the films we will briefly touch on in this chapter are some of the films we will never ever forget.

Collectors
When Christine saw the shiny, silver hotel sign, she picked up the pace. «Oh boy, where did I end up?» At the entrance Christine was surprised by an unusual interior full of bloody red tones and wooden decor elements. Cold and greasy old woman looking quite peculiar in her velvet blue dress fixed her eyes on Christine from the reception desk.
