This week we go back to 2001. It’s the dawn of the new millennium and the world is filled with anxiety over the perils of the internet, existential dread and the mystery of mortality.  Behold PULSE, a heavy death meditation written and directed my Necro-approved Kiyoshi Kurosawa.

We have been talking about doing this one for a while. The 1981 neo-noir NIGHTHAWKS features Sylvester Stallone on the heels of Rocky I and II as well, a post-Empire Strikes Back Billy Dee Williams and the US film debut of Rutger Hauer. It’s a grimy journey through old NYC as an international task force pursues a maniacal terrorist.

David Fincher’s classic Se7en seems like a film that we should have done years ago.  In the wake of some rumblings of a Fincher directed Netflix Se7en series, we decided it was timely to go back to the 90’s for this groundbreaking crime horror movie with solid performances turned in my Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt set in a dreary nameless city.
