Some of you might be wondering how the Coronavirus is affecting Dark Corners.  Well, the good news is, so far not very much.  We have 5 regular reviews in the can and ready for release and the drought of other work frees up Graham to do more editing, so hopefully, you should see some specials getting edited slightly faster.  We are also introducing our new series "Lockdown Reviews" where we will take a deep dive into what the streaming sites have to offer.  We of course look towards our Patreons first to guide us in what we should be looking at next.  

We hope you are all keeping well, as always your support warms the Dark Corners of our hearts.

As we head into a lockdown of unknown length.  Dark Corners takes a deep dive into what streaming sites have to offer.  Today we look at Netflix Indonesian film Kuntilanak (2018)  

Summary: Five youngsters discover that an antique mirror found in their orphanage is home to an evil ghost who kidnaps children and imprisons them inside it.

Hey guys - Glad to hear you're doing okay, over there. Here, in the Philippines, we have to be a bit careful, since "sanitary" is not a word that is applicable to the various stores and marketplaces over here. Fortunately, I work from home anyway (as a writer), so no problem with income. Anyway, Indonesia is pretty good when it comes to horror films. But, for my money, you just can't beat Japanese horror. It would be cool to see some of their crazy films reviewed. Stay safe...

Glad to hear you are doing. Writers have ben practising this self isolation for while. So nothing new to us. Of course I live in london and robin lives cainbridge so we dont know when we can next film, but he can still record voice overs. We certainly want to look at more international horror.

Thanks guys for putting this new series together. It should be very helpful for those of us who are self-quarantining with family, which is about as much fun as a basketball ball shot to the balls (as I'm the only horror fan here).😒

Love the new feature! Glad that you are able to keep the reviews coming. I've got a house guest from the UK and we are working our way through a big box of DVDs, as there is little else to do at the moment. I've introduce her to your reviews and she is enjoying them tremendously! I know that you did a "Rapid Response" for "Knives Out"; we got the DVD on your recommendation and like it. Perhaps you could do a formal review of this interesting, twisty film.

Exclusive, Exclusive! I don't like Exclusive. I have nothing from keeping others from seeing your video but I'm always a little frustrated when you eventually list the video, it appears on top of my subscribed videos and then I realize that I already watch it. I also don't like to support organizations that are exclusive in general. Maybe make a poll on patreon if your supporters actually want this, or would support you anyway for your great work.

(And Henry joins my clamor for more Japanese Horror. They borrowed from Hollywood, now Hollywood borrows from them). Back at Indonesian films. They're a bit like Thai films. No matter what level of horror or mind numbing explosive testosterone you have, there must be room for a love story (preferably a triangle) and almost slapstick comedy. Indonesia uses children for that comedy, in Thai they'd be limp wristed way over the top lady boys. It's one of those cultural things that westerners (like me) often struggle to understand. Thanks for the update, I'm in 'lockdown on a construction camp in Tenhiz, Kazakhstan for the foreseeable future. We can't do Netflix or most streaming stuff, not enough band width. Luckily I've a couple of 4Tb hard discs filed with movies. Tonight's being the trio of ReAnimatter flics with Jeffrey Combs... Ahh, my childhood.

This is not exclusive to patreon, patreons just get it day early, with no ads and uncensored (if aplicable). Sometimes we pilot ideas with patreons to see if it worth going out to a larger audience. But 98% of the vids appearing on our main channel would have been here a day or 2 before.

Will have to wait until I have seen it. Been waiting to pick up a copy. I am still spoiler-free - GT

We would love to do more Asian cinema, but we need to educate ourselves a little better first. Because of all the people working from home in Europe, Netflix has had to limit it's bandwidth so the sudden influx of viewers doesn't crash the network. Meanwhile Disney plus lunches next week.... i find their timing very suspicious.

Here in Seattle things are...not good. It's a relief to escape with the witches and ghosts! So far I can still go to work and the grocery store, but "shelter in place" may be coming down the pike any day now.

Mostly all is well in Arizona and all is suspiciously well for me personally. For streaming I’m basically only on Prime and here’s a few gems: The Flying Guillotine (1975): The weapon is used as almost a joke in other movies, this one treats it as serious as a heart attack. Genuine cinematography and writing skill present too. Salome’s Last Dance (1988): The best movie I can’t suggest anyone in my real life watch. Its bizarre but hypnotizing at the same time and the acting and production value are top notch. Still not sure if its sacrilegious or not. Dark Shadows (1966-): If you want gothic/ horror themed background noise you don’t have to pay any serious attention to to follow then you can’t do better than or exhaust this series. The goofs and stutters are part of the charm (they had to do them in one take). Star Trek Voyager: The Thaw: I think Star Trek is best understood as sci fi horror and this episode is a decent example thanks to Michael McKean giving it his best.

And for international, maybe try Night of The Cobra Woman. Its not quite Sssssss but it has weird parallels to it, plus its bonkers as all snake movies should be. (This is easily the least good suggestion but put a pin in it for future DC reviews) And as long as I’m in this mindset Miles Ahead (2016): Not in the least bit horror but Don Cheadle’s depiction of Miles Davis’ notoriously temperamental genius is amazing. Straddles the thin line between admiration and depicting him as not someone to be admired.
