As a young woman noted at the beginning of The Conjuring , “It scares us just thinking about it.” She was talking about the elements that went into the film. But that statement also applies to the real estate price wars that are driving housing toward the sky throughout the country. In Rhode Island, that means that the early 19th century house that inspired the horror film (but wasn’t shot there) fetched a price 27% above asking, selling recently for $1.52 million. For the uninitiated, the 2013 horror film The Conjuring is a fictionalized account of the Perron family and their work with paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. The house has a history of murder, rape and suicide. Apparently that’s not enough to dissuade buyers in this over-heated market: the property’s listing says it’s rumored to be haunted by the spirit of Bathsheba Sherman, who resided there in the 19th century. The 3,109-square-foot house is located at 1677 Round Top Road in … [Read more...] about ‘The Conjuring’ Haunted House That Inspired The Horror Film Franchise Has Been Sold

The Cannes Film Festival has a long and distinguished track record of spotlighting landmark works in the history of cinema with its highest honor, the Palme d’or. The festival first gave out its highest honor in 1939, but the award hasn’t always been called the Palme d’or, nor has it always been given to just one film. Originally, the award was dubbed the “Grand Prix du Festival Internationale du Film,” a mouthful of a moniker with a little less luster than “Palme d’or.” In the decades since the award’s inception, Cannes has bounced back and forth between the two designations. The top award was called the Palme d’or in 1955, when Delbert Mann’s Marty took the honor. Then, in 1964, it became the Grand Prix again before finally settling in as the Palme d’or, which has been its name for the past 45 years. While the fest’s top award was first given out 84 years ago, there are not an even 84 recipients. Some years, like 2020, the event was canceled, and so no top honor … [Read more...] about Cannes Palme d’Or Winners: Photos From Every One Of The Festival’s Top Films Through The Years

A diet of rice and tofu, plenty of regular, gentle exercise and excellent hospitals: the Japanese have nailed the formula for getting old prolifically. With a little less than 30% of the population over 65, Japanese society is now officially termed as “super-aged.” Meanwhile, thanks to a low birth rate and an ingrained opposition to immigration, the total number of people is falling dramatically. Each year, there are fewer younger people to look after more older ones. It’s a slow-burn economic crisis. Of course, there is an obvious solution, unthinkable in real life but very much in working order in Chie Hayakawa ’s Plan 75 , which screened in Cannes’ Un Certain Regard . The plan of the title is a hypothetical government-funded program that merely offers seniors the chance to be bumped off quietly. It is never acknowledged to be a mass extermination program. On the contrary, it is entirely benevolent. There are little nudges along the way, it’s true. Those who … [Read more...] about Cannes Review: Chie Hayakawa’s ‘Plan 75’
