In the much-delayed fourth installment of the Black Lagoon podcast, we’re looking at three generations of horror films that have helped define Japanese cinema’s reputation for the unusual, the avant-garde and the downright bizarre, as represented by Nobuo Nakagawa’s Jigoku (aka Hell, 1960), Nobuhiko Obayashi’s Hausu (aka House, 1977), and Higuchinsky’s Uzumaki (aka Spiral, 2000).

As ever, please send us your comments about the show, any of the films we’ve discussed or suggestions for further viewing - write to us or send an MP3 to podcast@blacklagoon.info or leave a message in the comments box below…

All three directors take very different approaches to cashing in on genre blockbusters, and we’ll be discussing where they succeed and where they fail.

We’ve had some lovely feedback about the first couple of shows - please keep it coming, and if you have any suggestions for a group of films you’d like to hear us discuss in an upcoming podcast, let us know!

On the second show we look at the three film adaptations of the classic novel I Am Legend by Richard Matheson - The Last Man on Earth, The Omega Man and I Am Legend. All three films show the different approaches that can be taken when adapting a book for the screen.

We can only apologise for how long it took to get another podcast together, but please do keep the feedback coming. Enjoy the show!

Following the world-wide success of Zombie Flesheaters, Fulci tried to take the Italian zombie film into a completely new direction with these films, and we’ll be discussing how far he succeeded.

This is the first in what we hope will be a regular series of podcasts featuring in-depth discussion of linked horror films - if you have any suggestions or comments, please do leave them below. Hope you enjoy the show!
