A genuinely eccentric spin on the vampire story, integrating uncanny puppet effects with its live-
action storytelling, this unsettling, lovingly crafted—and often funny—period creep-show is a new classic.
Don't miss THE VOURDALAK this Saturday!

THE APPOINTMENT's fusion of nightmarish dream logic and domestic psychodrama is as cozily enveloping as horror gets.

Taika Waititi's bad adaptation of Ishiguro's KLARA AND THE SUN is childish in its reluctance to approach anything that was difficult in the novel. @katienconnell reviews:

Adrien Beau’s ingenious twist on vampire folklore has the feel of a classic horror short story, while its daring marionette effects and super 16mm cinematography create a singularly eerie experience.

Hannibal Lecter, sure. Real Anthony Hopkins heads shiver at the thought of his Charles “Corky” Withers in 1978's creepy ventriloquist thriller MAGIC. Playing today @MovingImageNYC in 35mm.

Lynne Littman's underseen masterpiece TESTAMENT is the scariest and subtlest movie about the end of the world in American cinema history. Littman joins us in person on November 7 for a special 35mm presentation of her film, followed by a conversation.

And with @Reckless_Edit on ONLY LIVING PICKPOCKET IN NEW YORK, our #NYFF coverage is officially complete. It's been a great year, thanks to all our brilliant contributors.
#NYFF: With the urgent pace of a Safdie production sans the graphic violence, Noah Segan's THE ONLY LIVING PICKPOCKET IN NEW YORK jolts forward like a rusting express train. Honored to review for @reverse_shot @TheNYFF @MovingImageNYC.
FJORD is not a disappointment for refusing to clarify its political allegiances; it is a disappointment because it is a limp and unconvincing oversimplification of a complex subject. Matthew Eng reviews:

Mariano Llinás sifts through the archives for his 5 1/2 hour LIFE OF JORGE LUIS BORGES, a lovable, occasionally frustrating oddity/odyssey that's as much about his own rangy, expansive artistic methods as Borges himself. Jeff Reichert reviews from #NYFF:
