Finally, I got to see this hard-to-find film! Despite receiving fairly positive reviews (even the Final Girl blog<\/a> gave it some positive press), the film has not been very enthusiastically distributed in the US. It didn\u2019t play very widely in theatres this year (only played at a Salem theatre near Boston, and not at all in the Albany area), so I finally found it at Red Box. John Morehead of Theofantastique asked if I\u2019d like to do a podcast discussion about it, so we talked today. You can check out links to our conversation here<\/a>: Listen by clicking this link<\/a>, or you may download it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

John is an academic specializing in religious studies, with a focus on paganism studies, and has a special interest in the horror genre. Of course you know this if you read his excellent blog regularly! John is also a Christian, and we\u2019ve had some interesting conversations regarding different religious perspectives in film. It was great to finally talk to him \u201clive\u201d today about BLACK DEATH<\/a>, a film I\u2019ve been looking forward to seeing for months, and I look forward to more discussions with John about cinema and religion!<\/p>\n

I also plan to post a review of the film this week, so keep an eye open. I\u2019m sorry I haven\u2019t been posting here much in the last few weeks, I\u2019ve had soem other projects and deadlines in the way, but there have definitely been some interesting developments in pagan media. More soon\u2026<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
