It is clearly in the lineage of folk horror set texts like Robin Redbreast and Nigel Kneale’s Baby, but extrapolates on those rather than being a pastiche (I dread to think what Mark Gatiss would have made of this).

Starve Acre is not well-regarded, it seems - many reviews complain of a lack of scares - but personally, I was in a state of unease throughout. No jump scares, no, but this was unremittingly unsettling.

I’m enjoying (well, maybe not the word) seeing people try to laud Keaton and swerve Allen. Like blanking Sternberg in any account of Dietrich.

#BillEvans worked with a number of singers, but his duet album with #MonicaZetterlund is a limpid favourite. I love the cover, where she’s affectionately stroking his hair.

The Val Lewton production The Ghost Ship (1943) is notably timely, as its core theme is how the structures around authority gone despotic, and ultimately demented, turn a blind eye and even enable it.
