One Great Shot: Carrie (1976)

Posted on October 11, 2026 by Sartaj Govind Singh

Preamble Despite turning 50 this year and spawning a series of versions (including a recent Mike Flanagan’s TV series adaptation), I’ve not spoken about Carrie on the blog. This seems like a bit of an egregious oversight. But I hope … Continue reading →

One Great Shot: Scream VI (2023)

Posted on February 25, 2026 by Sartaj Govind Singh

Preamble If there were ever an opportunity to pull out the “Surprise Sidney!”, this would be the preamble for it. I realise that once again, any form of writing on Scream (2022) has been put on the back burner. However, … Continue reading →

One Great Shot: Scream 4 (2011)

Posted on February 24, 2026 by Sartaj Govind Singh

Preamble At this point, it’s no surprise to admit that Scream 4 is my favourite movie in the series. Its meta commentary, and Ghostface’s motive appeals to me most. Plus, for the reasons discussed in my original review and this … Continue reading →

One Great Shot: Scream 3 (2000)

Posted on February 22, 2026 by Sartaj Govind Singh

Preamble Over the years, it’s been a fascinating experience revisiting Scream 3 and writing about it. Despite being the black sheep of the franchise and not as interesting in its musings as Wes Craven’s New Nightmare, I still have respect … Continue reading →

One Great Shot: Scream 2 (1998)

Posted on February 18, 2026 by Sartaj Govind Singh

Preamble I’ll be honest: two posts in, I’m already feeling the daunting nature of this series. This is not because I don’t have much to say, but because I don’t want to cover old ground or repeat what I’ve said … Continue reading →

One Great Shot: Scream (1997)

Posted on February 14, 2026 by Sartaj Govind Singh

Preamble It never ceases to amaze me how the right words always come for the actual blog post itself, but writing for a preamble is akin to running backwards in a race whilst being blindfolded. But as I sit here … Continue reading →

One Great Shot: Megalopolis (2024)

Posted on January 24, 2026 by Sartaj Govind Singh

Preamble To quote Gurney Halleck from Dune (2021)- “I see you’ve found the mood.” My blog posts can be erratic at the worst of times: 3 posts in a week, then nothing for nearly 10 days. However, I don’t follow … Continue reading →

One Great Shot: 28 Years Later (2025)

Posted on January 13, 2026 by Sartaj Govind Singh

Preamble Two posts in one week? Sacrebleu, as the French would say. In all seriousness, I’ve been looking forward to doing a post on 28 Years Later’s one great shot. And the imminent release of its sequel, The Bone Temple, … Continue reading →
