Demon Pond Ahoy


The artwork by Yuko Shimizu on the new Criterion cover of Masahiro Shinoda's 1979 fever dream Demon Pond is so beautiful I am just posting it again even though I posted it in July when this disc was announced -- anyway today is the day, this movie is out! Go buy it here or over on Criterion's site -- I watched this a few weeks ago and it's so hypnotically strange and beautiful, it will make for a killer Halloween afternoon watch. Not necesarrily Halloween night when you want to scare yourself but the afternoon when you wanna edge yourself into the spooky mood -- it's perfect. It kind of feels like the ketamine you take to bring down Hausu's amphetamines.
