    Resident Evil - Memphis Flyer (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    When Capcom released Resident Evil for Sony’s PlayStation in 1996, it was widely praised for its cinematic atmosphere. Even today, it’s hard to make a video game as truly scary as creeping through the biohazard-zombie-infested haunted house in Raccoon City felt 30 years ago. Resident Evil has always straddled the line between video game and movie. The original was loosely based on a Japanese haunted house movie from 1989 called Sweet Home, which had also inspired a Capcom video game. And while R

    Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma - Memphis Flyer (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Jane Schoenbrun comes to filmmaking from the perspective of a fan. The same was said about the generation of filmmakers who came of age in the early 1970s, when directors like George Lucas and Brian De Palma, armed with an encyclopedic knowledge of old movies gathered mostly from watching TV, were making films that self-consciously mirrored earlier works. For these film brats, there was no difference between high-class pictures and trash cinema. It all went into the same mental melting pot. But

    The 2026 Indie Memphis Film Festival will open on November 5th with The Lorraine, a documentary film by Sam Pollard about the history of Memphis’ most famous lodging place, the Lorraine Motel.
