  • Speak No Evil and Lee
    Sep 19 2024

    If it's movies you love your in the right place! In Episode 34 of The Chronicle Film Podcast, Clotilde and Paul review Speak No Evil and Lee.

    First film under the microscope is the English language remake of Danish psychological horror thriller Speak No Evil. Originally written and directed by brothers Christian and Mads Tafdrup (Christian onboard as an executive producer of the new version) All about a Danish family who befriend a Dutch family on holiday who invite the Danish family to an idyllic weekend in the Netherlands which slowly unravels into their worst nightmare. In the new version it's an British family (James McAvoy, Aisling Franciosi) who invite London based American family (McKenzie Davis, Scoot McNairy) to their old farmhouse in the West Country. The question many will be asking, is this a a like for like remake or does director James Watkins (Eden Lake, Woman In Black) twist original to deliver his own version?

    Our horror maestro Bradley Hadcroft watched the original 2022 version for us at Sundance Film Festival that year (not FrightFest as Paul mentions in the episode), you can read his review here.

    Second and final review for The Chronicle episode 34 is Ellen Kuras' Lee starring Kate Winslet. Some of you might wonder who Lee Miller is? She was considered one of pioneering female photographers, War photojournalists of World War 2 giving us some of the most iconic powerful images from the war. This film is a bit of a personal project for Kate Winslet who plays Lee, a one time fashion model for Vogue to become a photographer for the same magazine. She faced many barriers, she was a determined woman to get her way in life. Lee focuses on pre/World War 2 period of her life, the period she would meet her husband Roland Penrose (Alexander Skarsgard).

  • The Chronicle Take 2 - The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live / Sting
    Aug 26 2024

    It's been a few weeks since the last episode, With Clotilde on assignment, I've decided to do The Chronicle Take 2. The chat continues with The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live Season 1 plus Horror Sting.

    First up I review the 6 episode spin-off series The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live. Recently premiered on Sky now available to own on Blu-Ray, DVD and Digital. With the original series now over the hardcore fans of the show can finally Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and Michonne (Danai Gurira) finally reunite. 6 years after seeing Rick whisked off in a helicopter with Jadis (Pollyanna McIntosh) see what happened to him. Whilst see the journey Michonne embarked, will it be the spin-off that fans have been waiting for?

    Anyone with arachnophobia, beware Kiah Roache-Turner's (Wyrmwood) Sting will have your blood pressure rocketing. When a young girl living in a New York City block finds an egg with a spider in it, will it be the new friend she thinks she has? Unfortunately this is no ordinary spider!
