"Dream Lover" represents the second foray into directing by Nicholas Kazan, the son of the legendary Elia Kazan, whose monumental contributions to cinema include classics like "On the Waterfront" and "A Streetcar Named Desire." However, the resounding commercial and critical failure of this 1993 erotic thriller swiftly steered Nicholas Kazan back to his established domains of producing and screenwriting, where he had already earned acclaim for scripts like "Reversal of Fortune" and "Frances."

One of the most notoriously bloody American slasher films ever produced, "Murder-Set-Pieces" directed by Nick Palumbo, stands out in the annals of horror cinema for its unrelenting brutality and provocative themes. Released in 2004, this independent feature has garnered a cult following among extreme horror enthusiasts while simultaneously drawing fierce criticism for its graphic content.

В небрежно-профаническом и слегка нудном сериале «13 клиническая», который, по всей видимости, пытается рекламировать сложную медицину методом «от противного», т. е. посредством инфернально-эзотерического контекста, упомянута тема управления локальной энтропией (через создание кратковременной области объектного хаоса) с помощью направленного волевого импульса.

While leisurely rewatching the director’s cut of the erotic thriller "Color of Night" by the now-deceased Richard Rush (whose passing in 2021 went largely unnoticed by the broader film community, unlike the death of Monte Hellman, another cult director who received obituaries in major outlets like The Guardian and tributes from Quentin Tarantino for his influence on "Reservoir Dogs"), I once again convince myself that this film stands as the finest American epigone of the Italian giallo genre.
