Repulsion: The strange attraction of dark emotions, vile acts and messed up characters<\/b><\/p>\n

To coincide with the BFI\u2019s extended run of Roman Polanski\u2019s Repulsion<\/i><\/a>, we look at the repellent anti-hero of Maniac<\/i><\/a> in our Comic Strip Review, the disgust caused by the hellish David Mamet-scripted Edmond<\/i><\/a>, and vomit in film<\/a>. Our Reel Sounds column is on the beautiful score to the shockingly disturbing Cannibal Holocaust<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In cinema releases, we review great horror anthology V\/H\/S<\/i><\/a>, melancholy vampire reverie Midnight Son<\/i><\/a> and harsh animation The King of Pigs<\/i><\/a>, which deals with the brutality of South Korean society. We have a feature on Tarantino\u2019s latest cult homage Django Unchained<\/i><\/a> and its place in the long-running Django saga. And we have an interview with Jen and Sylvia Soska<\/a> about their brilliant American Mary<\/i>, starring Katharine Isabelle as a disillusioned former medical student who gets increasingly drawn into the underground world of illicit surgery.<\/p>\n

We also have an interview with Klaus Maria Brandauer<\/a> about The Strange Case of Wilhelm Reich<\/i>. And in Alter Ego, author Jack Wolf<\/a> is JF Sebastian in Blade Runner<\/i>.<\/p>\n

PODCAST:<\/b><\/a>
\nAmerican Mary<\/i>: A feminist horror film?<\/a>: Writer and director Jennifer Eiss and freelance journalist Evrim Ersoy discuss the Soska twins\u2019 description of their provocative American Mary<\/i><\/a> as \u2018feminist horror\u2019 with Virginie S\u00e9lavy.<\/p>\n
