How many great films does it take to designate a director as a historically significant auteur? Jean Vigo only directed a few shorts and one feature, but they were enough to make him a hero to the pioneers of the French New Wave. Actor-turned-helmer Charles Laughton directed just one movie — “The Night of the Hunter” — but it was such a haunting and singular masterpiece that few would argue that Laughton was one of the medium’s masters. Elaine May stopped directing after four movies, but she’d probably be considered one of the greatest directors who ever lived if she had only made “Mikey and Nicky.”
Christina Hornisher is nowhere near as well known as Vigo, Laughton, or May, but she should be — and now, thanks to a pristine restoration of her sole feature, “Hollywood 90028,” perhaps she will. Released in 1974 after Hornisher earned critical accolades for her UCLA film school shorts,...

May is coming to a close and with it came a handful of new films that have joined our Screambox horror streaming service, including the must-see ultra-gory Project Wolf Hunting, the Halloween-themed slasher sequel The Barn 2, and two Screambox Originals, The Ancestral and Creepypasta!
Even better, Halloween comes early with Night of the Demons, the ’80s cult classic about a group of teens who awaken an evil spirit.
The 1988 horror classic takes place on the night of Halloween when a group of teens decides to go to a party at an abandoned funeral parlor. While starting the party, the teens gather around a big mirror to perform a seance…Big Mistake.
Also added today is Meatcleaver Massacre, featuring Christopher Lee. In the 1977 film, “When a professor specializing in ancient rites and rituals is attacked and his family killed by four of his students, he summons an evil spirit to hunt...

• Natalie Portman takes best actress award
Read Xan Brooks's liveblog from London's Royal Opera House and find out how the 2011 British Academy Film Awards unfolded at the scene

6.33pm: It's the Orange British Academy Film Awards, live as you like from London's Royal Opera House. Outside the stage door, the rain is falling and the chauffers cup their hands to light their fags. Two starlets pick their way through the puddles while over on the corner, the busker is keening his way through the Eagles' back catalogue. "And in the master's chamber, they gather for the feast," he sings at the starlets. "They stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast." I'm guessing this refrain will run like a loop through my brain until the last prize is dolled out.
