The Deadliest Season (1977)

Disney movies have taken a bit of a downward turn recently. How come?

These confines won’t really encourage you to read the film as a metaphor for the nerve-inducing experience we’ve all been through over the last year, however — and in the interest of maintaining your dignity, you probably shouldn’t. While the sociopolitical commentary may have worked for the similarly-themed Buried (2010), in which we find Ryan Reynolds on his own buried alive in the Middle East, but this futuristic take on the premise is best left as a piece of distracting entertainment. Nevertheless, the atmosphere is no less suffocating, literally and dramatically.

One of the reasons I love watching movies is that, much like books, they serve as windows into other times and different places. Productions from around the world offer valuable insights into the history and culture of their respective countries. And just like literature, cinema can help us understand the present by showing us the past.

A commentary on the exploitation of the elderly fueld by the inherent greed of capitalism.

The Fog follows more of a 1950s creature feature plot than a late-70s slasher with three legendary scream queens.

'Little Woods' rethinks the Western genre and examines the misogyny and classism inherent in the healthcare industry.
