With his 2000 feature directorial debut The Dead Hate the Living!, Dave Parker made what I feel is one of the best Full Moon films, so I’ve been eager to see more of his work ever since. He hasn’t made a lot of movies over the decades, but every time he has, I’ve been there to check it out: the subversive slasher The Hills Run Red (2009), the anthology Tales of Halloween (2015), the housesitting horror It Watches, the Full Moon spin-off Puppet Master: Doktor Death (2022)… So I’m excited to see that a new Parker film, a vampire movie called You Shouldn’t Have Let Me In, has just been released through the free streaming service Tubi as a Tubi Original! The trailer is embedded above.
Parker directed You Shouldn’t Have Let Me In from a screenplay by Michael Lucid and Mary O’Neil. This is the first feature writing credit for Lucid,...

Beats Beats, iPlayer, until March 29
This recent Scots indie has plenty to recommend it, including the perfect pairing casting of Lorn Macdonald - who won a Scots BAFTA for his trouble - and Christian Ortega as two teenagers determined to stop at nothing to attend their first illegal rave. Set against the backdrop of a political clampdown on the 90s music scene, Brian Welsh and Kieran Hurley do a bang on job of expanding on their stage play, capturing the scene of the time in sharp black and white with a pop of colour in unexpected places. From the high energy performances to a soundtrack that features The Prodigy, Leftfield and Prodigy, it's got its finger on the pulse. Read our full review.

Let The Right One In Moore Theatre, Seattle
Dripping from the Swedish page and screen onto American stages, The National Theatre of Scotland has adapted the celebrated horror film and novel Let The Right One In for theatrical production with an eerie success that echoes the story's previous manifestations. Wrapping up its run at Seattle's Moore Theatre before moving on to Houston, Texas, this production is spreading its paradoxically beautiful and yet starkly nihilistic brand of love story.
Though not uncommon in recent years, adapting from film to the stage seems like a backwards proposition, particularly when a stage production lamely tries to merely relive the film version preceeding it, milking its signature moments for an audience nodding at what they already know. However, this production defies those pitfalls, succeeding in making its own explorations of expression while maintaining the essential themes and uniquely bleak qualities.
Leading this unlikely adaptive victory is director John Tiffany.

For those veteran theatergoers who saw Paris but didn’t visit the Grand Guignol before it closed shop in 1962, the new stage adaptation of John Ajvide Lindqvist’s novel and screenplay “Let the Right One In” is a must-see. Stage director John Tiffany offers some superb reincarnations of the bloodsucking and bloodletting that distinguishes Tomas Alfredson’s 2008 vampire film, and he adds another grizzly touch, inspired by Brian De Palma, that will shock no...
