"The Whisperer in Darkness"

 

"Miskatonic University professor Albert Wilmarth investigates strange, crab-like alien creatures in rural Vermont, only to discover a plot to enslave humanity"  I just watched this one and it id fucking fantastic!  I It hits on every level with the acting, writing, look, feel and atmosphere of Lovecraft's works.  Give the trailer below a go and watch it!

  

We loved it and can't suggest it enough!

"A Bag of Marbels"

 

The 1975 book

"In occupied France, Maurice and Joseph, two young Jewish brothers left to their own devices demonstrate an incredible amount of cleverness, courage, and ingenuity to escape the enemy invasion and to try to reunite their family once again."  This tale finds itself in book, comic and even movie form and well deserved so give it a go in whatever form you wish and see what you think.

"Normandy: A Graphic History of D-Day, the Allied Invasion of Hitler's Fortress Europe"

 

"Normandy depicts the planning and execution of Operation Overlord in graphic novel form.  The initial paratrooper assault is shown, as well as the storming of the five D-Day beaches: Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword.  Once the Allies got ashore, they had to stay ashore.  The Germans made every effort to push them back into the sea.  This book depicts key events in the Allied liberation of Europe up until the Liberation of Paris.  This is a good read to get a general take on the whole liberation of France since D-Day and worth a once over. 

 

An interesting read,

Brian 

"Six Days: The Incredible Story of D-Day's Lost Chapter"

 

"June 1944. World War II. D-Day. One hundred eighty-two members of the U.S. 82nd Airborne Division parachute into the French countryside—a full 18 miles southeast of their intended target.  In the worst mis-drop of the D-Day campaign, a group of soldiers are rattled to the core to find themselves even deeper behind enemy lines than anyone had intended. Miraculously, the citizens of Graignes vote to feed and shelter the soldiers, knowing that the decision will bring them terrible punishment if their efforts are discovered by the Germans. That day of reckoning comes faster than anyone could expect.  As a small German patrol passes through, the world’s war comes to their remote town in the countryside, and for the next six days, the small band of American paratroopers and French citizens must fight for their lives to hold back 2,000 enemy combatants."  This is a pretty cool comic of a real world event so give it a read here and see what you think.

 

Worth a read for sure,

"The Lady Vanishes"

1978 movie poster

2013 tv poster

"On a train headed for England a group of travelers is delayed by an avalanche. Holed up in a hotel in a fictional European country, young Iris befriends elderly Miss Froy. When the train resumes, Iris suffers a bout of unconsciousness and wakes to find the old woman has disappeared. The other passengers ominously deny Miss Froy ever existed, so Iris begins to investigate with another traveler and, as the pair sleuth, romantic sparks fly."  All these renditions of the story are mediocre at best but if you are into old style suspense flicks then give it a go.  Watch the trailer below and see what you think.

"Salo or The 120 Days of Sodom" aka "Pasolini's 120 Days of Sodom"

 

"A group of fascists round up nine adolescent boys and girls and subject them to a 120 days of physical, mental, and sexual torture."  Now I'll give you exploitation flicks are that much more fucked up when done by artistic weirdos and this flick is the love child of that!  It's twisted and weird and interesting to be honest. If your into artists trash then this is the one for you, give the trailer a go below and track this twisted flick down for something you probably won't forget.
