Creatures: Ancient beasts, mystical monsters, sleepwalking murderers<\/b><\/p>\n

As winter sets in the creatures come out of the dark: The Golem<\/i><\/a> is conjured up, Conrad Veidt is the puppet of a sinister hypnotist in The Cabinet of Dr Caligari<\/i><\/a>, a primitive beast terrorizes Trans-Siberian passengers in 70s Spanish horror movie Horror Express<\/i><\/a> and we have a feature on ‘Female Creatures and Science Experiments Gone Amiss’<\/a>. In Alter Ego, Sam Hawken<\/a> is Underworld<\/i>\u2019s Selene while our Comic Strip Review is on Fritz Lang\u2019s Die Nibelungen<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We have interviews with Yorgos Lanthimos<\/a> about his follow-up to Dogtooth<\/i><\/a>, the equally oddball Alps<\/i><\/a>, with Michael Haneke<\/a> about the acclaimed Love<\/i><\/a>, and with Ben Wheatley<\/a> about his new horror comedy Sightseers<\/i><\/a>. Not to be missed, two films are out on UK screens for the first time this month: the extended US version of The Shining<\/i><\/a> and Yoshiaki Kawajiri\u2019s landmark 90s anim\u00e9 Ninja Scroll<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the second part of our London Film Festival<\/a> coverage we review Thomas Vinterberg’s The Hunt<\/i><\/a> and crime thriller End of Watch<\/i><\/a>, out in cinemas this month. Brandon Cronenberg\u2019s Antiviral<\/i><\/a> screens at SCI-FI-LONDON\u2019s Post-Apocolympic Weekender (Nov 9-11). And we report on L\u2019Etrange Festival<\/a>, Sitges<\/a> and Toronto and our Cine Lit column looks at Kier-La Janisse’s House of Psychotic Women<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n
