What are some examples of truly evil movies? Not necessarily in terms of depicting it, or thematizing it (or ideology/politics) but that truly feel like they’re channeling something awful into the world?(This was prompted by preparing a lecture on SPOORLOS).

When James Cameron’s movies are good, it’s because he has one of the finest internal metronomes of any action director. He knows how long the audience will enjoy being worked over, and when to give them a breather and regroup. ALIENS is a perfectly *paced* movie, and so is T2…

My favourite Bruce Willis performance is in Unbreakable, which is all about the way he uses his voice - the hushed reticence of a guy who doesn’t know his own strength, or doesn’t want to. He’s got the same halting, haunted quality in 12 Monkeys too, like existential shell shock
