you can see from that that it this is bbc news, i'm karin giannone. has an almost dreamy, our top stories: fairy tale quality and then the police turn up and nothing is quite like it seems. mass demonstrations continue in sudan. protesters call for the what is interesting about this is you can read military to help them overthrow the it in a number of ways, now, pet sematary. what could possibly be scary president. about a pet cemetery? theresa may continues to call for a you can read it as a dogville are you...? where do you stand on stephen king stories? brexit deal, saying the alternative have you read stephen king? parable about workers' would be no brexit at all. rights and exploitation, or you can read it as a story about past and present because there is a time travelling element about it. libyan government forces try to hold that is never explained. it is played naturally the advance of rebel troops as they but these are strange continue their march on tripoli. and supernatural things happen. you can see it as a yeah, yeah. and out with the old, in with the and you have because you have done a phd in horrorfiction. cousin of the village. new — north korean television i have, thank you for bringing that up. i am reminded of al pacino undergo something like a doctor kermode. in dog day afternoon. doctor kermode, exactly. actually, what i think is that so pet sematary is... when stephen king first wrote it in the end, it is a story of someone he thought it was too dark to publish and the novel who sees the good and things to such an extent that it protects him itself is pretty dark. there was a version of the film made from the corruption in 1989, now we have a remake of it. so, the story is that a family have been living in a town, move to rural maine where the forest of the world in which he lives. is now in their new back door. it looks wonderful, it's going to be a new opportunity, the father will be able to spend more time with his kids, except that in the forest the best thing about it is that

there are some strange things, like processions of children dressed i think everyone who sees up like extras from the wicker man, it will interpret it with a wheelbarrow and the dead pet in it going out to the pet sematary, misspelt on the title. and beyond the cemetery itself, beyond the dreadful is something even more suspicious. here is a clip. saw these in the trees up there. any different way. yeah, they're warnings. the local tribes carved them before they fled. fled? yeah, they knew the power of that place. they felt its pull. they came to believe it belonged to something else. the ground was bad, you can read it and many many so they moved on. different ways and you can see but there's something up there. something that brings things back. as a parable, a fairy tale or a political story. it is kind of weirdly magical and you sort of go with it. i loved out of blue, the carol morley film, and similarly with this, you just have to go with it. it is a really melancholy and charming and strange and i don't really know what it is about, but i know what it might be about. so what happened to your dog, judd? i would happily see it again. best out as a film that came out he came back. when we were at school? yes, a clockwork orange, the adaptation of just like that man said he would, anthony burgess's novel. brilliantly played by malcolm mcdowell. it is ultraviolence and terrorising but he was changed. and that is a part of the film that became notorious. it was when he went after my mother the design is extraordinary, but the violence at the beginning that my daddy put him down. of the film is very, very full on. for the second time. what people forget is that most of the film actually happens

after that and it is to do with this thing this technique. so a type of aversion to make? or aversion therapy? exactly. sometimes dead is better. the idea is that if you take away so that is the tag line so much of a person, for the film, sometimes dead is better. do theyjust become nothing and there is no surprise in the fact that this is a burial ground, more than a clockwork if you bury your pets they come orange? back and at the stakes that section of the film gets far are going to be raised. less attention than the beginning which is the the thing that what's interesting about this made the film notorious. is this comes on the back of it, there are lots of stories which obviously was made as a tv miniseries in 1990 and it became about it being banned, the biggest grossing horror movie of all time, unadjusted for inflation, it was not banned in the uk. the exorcist is still officially the champion. kubrick asked warner bros to remove but it was a huge hit and we have it from circulation in the uk it chapter two coming out after it had its first run. the reason you could never see in some months' time, it was because stanley kubrick so this is kinda in the middle of it. did not want it to be shown. once going back to a classic old stephen king text that has been it was not shown again until 1999 brought to the screen before. and i think it is efficiently done, or 2000 when it was reissued. if rather generically done. at the centre of it is a story about and you know because you made grief and about loss and about... a documentary about it. if you're offered the chance no end to your talents? to overcome grief and loss, would you do it? the novel itself is very dark, the film has a more

lightly comic tone to it. i neverfound it scary. no. i did think it had a kind of twilight zone appeal, or like can eerily comic sort of thing and it solidly done, it has a lovely swansong feel to it. it's very stylishly shot it is an old—timer bank by laurie rose and the department robber and redford's are very good. performance is just great, john lithgow is always somebody sissy spacek as well. you can always rely on. it is very, very gentle i did believe in the family, and very nostalgic. i just love that. but what i didn't get was the sense i thought it was really touching that this had moved and it is a character study of them. us on any further. it looks like the kind of film it felt like a solid, meat and potatoes, crowd pleasing they made in the 70s mainstream stephen king horror. and they don't make any more. from my point of view, i have only seen the trailer, that's perfect. all right, mark. but that looked pretty scary to me. 0k. thank you. well, i think you might enjoy it. that is all. i was never i was never scared, goodbye from both of us. i did enjoy it, but i thought... it felt like solid burger and fries affair. you are a hard guy to scare. i am, i know. 0k. now, shazam!, which is about a 14—year—old boy who gets the power to transform into a superhero every time he said the word shazam!. yes, and suddenly he is in the red suit with the flash and everyjoke is that at the moment he discovers he can become shazam!, he is still a 14—year—old kid. it has certainly been a day of mixed and anything we are always told fortu nes it has certainly been a day of mixed fortunes out there in terms of the with comic book superheroes weather. for some of us there was blue sky,
