Stuart Gordon Interviews

Animated By A Singularly Subversive Spirit, The Fiendishly Intelligent Works Of Stuart Gordon (1947-2020) Are Distinguished By Their Arrant Boldness And Scab-picking Wit. Provocative Gems Such As Re-animator, From Beyond, Dolls, The Pit And The Pendulum, And Dagon Consolidated His Fearsome Reputation As One Of The Masters Of The Contemporary Horror Film, Bringing An Unfamiliar Archness, Political Complexity, And Critical Respect To A Genre So Often Bereft Of These Virtues. A Versatile Filmmaker, One Who Resolutely Refused To Mellow With Age, Gordon Proved Equally Adept At Crafting Pointed Science Fiction (robot Jox, Fortress, Space Truckers), Sweet-tempered Fantasy (the Wonderful Ice Cream Suit), And Nihilistic Thrillers (king Of The Ants, Edmond, Stuck), Customarily Scrubbing The Sharply Drawn Lines Between Exploitation And Arthouse Cinema.
