Currently there is only one movie where Kylie Minogue is murdered by a masked madman, and then former Brat Packer Molly Ringwald swoops in to save the day. Of course that movie is none other than the horror obscurity Cut (2000). This hidden gem from Down Under popped up during the first slasher revival, which is a large reason as to why many critics deemed Kimble Rendall’s debut derivative. Not everyone felt this way, though; fans like myself saw past the timely surface qualities and found a movie that not only commented on slashers but also championed their existence. This was a rare sight at a time when the disparaging of horror was both trendy and excessive.

It would be something of a mistake to assume Cut is another mere copycat of Scream (1996). The inspiration for Rendall and writer Dave Warner’s movie is clear, yet the overall execution is rather different.

Artificial Eye have released a new poster and trailer for their movie, The Deep Blue Sea which played at the London Film Festival earlier in the year. Written and directed by Terence Davies​ (The House of Mirth​), The Deep Blue Sea stars Tom Hiddleston​, Rachel Weisz​, Simon Russell Beale, Harry Hadden-Paton, Ann Mitchell​ and Sarah Kants.

Hester Collyer (Academy Award winner Rachel Weisz) leads a privileged life in 1950s London as the beautiful wife of high court judge Sir William Collyer (Simon Russell Beale). To the shock of those around her, she walks out on her marriage to move in with young ex-raf pilot, Freddie Page (Tom Hiddleston), with whom she has fallen passionately in love.

Set in post-war Britain, this adaptation of Terence Rattigan’s classic play, The Deep Blue Sea is a study of forbidden love, suppressed desire, and the fear of loneliness – but is at heart a deeply moving love story.

Written and directed by Terence Davies (The House of Mirth), The Deep Blue Sea stars Tom Hiddleston, Rachel Weisz, Simon Russell Beale, Harry Hadden-Paton, Ann Mitchell and Sarah Kants.
