So the rest of my counterweights came today and I finally felt comfortable mounting both the external mic and the Moment anamorphic lens on the gimbal. What did I learn? Well, Filmic Pro allows you to pick between the iPhone 11’s three internal mics – back (which, as I later found out, does mean back […]… Continue reading A 101 HOMESCHOOLING LESSON IN MOBILE PHONE PHOTOGRAPHY AND FILMMAKING: MICROPHONES! — Cinephilosophy

https://video.wordpress.com/embed/6AywITlh?hd=0&autoPlay=0&permalink=0&loop=0 We made it to the Top 10! It’s been a fun little journey so far, and I’m excited to get down to my favorite kills the genre has to offer. In the last post I promised the intensity was going to ramp up, but I’ve come before you today to say this: I may… Continue reading The Best Horror Movie Kills of All-Time: #10 – DAWN OF THE DEAD (1978) — This Is Your Brain On Film

https://video.wordpress.com/embed/KE1iBDcR?hd=0&autoPlay=0&permalink=0&loop=0 Remember when I promised you more intense kills in the top 10, but I reneged on that promise almost immediately? Well, now we’ve arrived. #9 on the list comes to us from the twisted mind of author Stephen King, director Andy Muschietti and a demented, dancing clown in the most recent adaptation of IT.… Continue reading The Best Horror Movie Kills of All-Time: #9 – IT (2017) — This Is Your Brain On Film

https://video.wordpress.com/embed/lpBXAWra?hd=0&autoPlay=0&permalink=0&loop=0 For anyone following along, we’ve now reached some nastiness. I’ve featured many of Tom Savini’s special effects on this list, but this one has extra Savini and I think you’re gonna like it. Coming in as #8 on the list is William Lustig’s cult horror classic, Maniac (1980). Now we’re getting our hands dirty.… Continue reading The Best Horror Movie Kills of All-Time: #8 – MANIAC (1980) — This Is Your Brain On Film

https://video.wordpress.com/embed/3igITmoF?hd=0&autoPlay=0&permalink=0&loop=0 Here I go again, breaking my own rules. Just as I did with Friday the 13th, I’m choosing two kills for this entry. However, this go-round the decision was not made based on the volume of films or kills, but rather on the style of the kill and the effectiveness of the scares they… Continue reading The Best Horror Movie Kills of All-Time: #7 – SINISTER (2012) — This Is Your Brain On Film

https://video.wordpress.com/embed/zkrvrgiU?hd=0&autoPlay=0&permalink=0&loop=0 We’re on the literal cusp of the top 5, ladies and gentlemen, and I have to say this has been pretty fun. Going into this project I basically knew which kills were going to be solidified in my top 5, but everything else was a crap-shoot. I made some additions I wasn’t expecting, and… Continue reading The Best Horror Movie Kills of All-Time: #6 – PSYCHO (1960) — This Is Your Brain On Film

https://video.wordpress.com/embed/989dhVQO?hd=0&autoPlay=0&permalink=0&loop=0 We’ve entered the Top 5! Repeat! Top 5, I am inside you! Whoops, didn’t mean it that way (or did I? *ha-wink*) On an editorial side note, it occurred to me right around entry #10 that this countdown will conclude with my 100th post on this blog, which is totally cool and totally unplanned.… Continue reading The Best Horror Movie Kills of All-Time: #5 – ZOMBIE (1979) — This Is Your Brain On Film

I’m a sucker for films that have a “go big or go home mentality,” and after the failure of Fantastic Four, director Josh Trank could have played a much safer game. Capone is a bigtime risk for Trank, and against all odds he comes up with one of this year’s most audacious films (Capone, in […]… Continue reading Tom Hardy Goes Gangbusters In Riveting And Inspired ‘Capone’ — Deepest Dream
