I found Glišić after watching the movie Leptirica and discovered that he had been writing horror and Gothic tales alongside the UK writers. He has a popular vampire story that predates Dracula. It seems that a lot of the vampire mythos come from the folklore of his area. He’s often called the Serbian Gogol, known for the literary grotesque and absurdism and surrealism before the Surrealists. He also worked as a translator and is known for celebrated translations of Poe and War and Peace. This is the only thing I’ve found in English, so I’m hoping with the Leptirica movie popping up more often in streaming services that more translations are on the way.
Fantastic Neo-Western that includes existential quandaries messier than the Man with No Name faces. Critiques aspects of the American Dream and Western Frontier mythos.
Kids on vacation board a “yacht” that is clearly marked as an oceanographic research vessel only to be trapped onboard with some radioactive plankton that cause dangerous mutations. I think there were some prehistoric fish that got their groove back, too. Low budget Italian horror from the ’90s. If you enjoy the like from the earlier decades, then you’ll have an idea of what you’re getting into here–as if that poster didn’t tell you enough. (aka Plankton)
I’m excited about being a part of both a great show (Sleep In Cinem and a great series with this. More information here.
