Dr Who has been exterminated
Article Abstract:
The BBC has recently revived the science fiction drama series Dr Who, which was first shown in the 1960s and continued for many years with a series of different actors playing the main character. The later series seemed to lack the scary and yet extremely attractive atmosphere of the earliest ones, and no programmes have been shown since 1989. In the latest venture, a television movie, there is a strong US influence, as it is set in San Francisco and was shot in Canada.

The fine art of killing
Article Abstract:
There is a long tradition among Hollywood films of portraying murder as performance art, with the victim being the installation. Most recently, this is seen in 'Se7en,' where each of the victims is arranged of an installation, portraying one of the deadly sins. These films have remarkable integrity, forcing the viewers to assess their reactions to what they are watching.

Scared? That's the spirit
Article Abstract:
Ghosts first started to appear in films during the late Victorian era, when there was a strong spiritualist trend. In these early films, ghosts tend to be mischievous, and there were many films in which popular stories featuring ghosts were adapted. More recently, ghosts have generally been comical, although there have been some gruesome psychological films.
