Japanese horror flick like others, only worse

By KATE LORD | October 28

More startling than scary, Japan's "Ju-on: The Grudge" follows too closely in the footsteps of its predecessors. The film effectively uses all of the standard horror flick devices: A haunted house causes a family member to go crazy. The crazy person attacks his loved ones.

Students sought for foreign film program

By KATE LORD | October 13

There's more to be learned about Thailand than what can be gleaned from Murray Head's 1984 hit "One Night in Bangkok." UNC's Study Abroad Office will offer students the opportunity to create a documentary in the Thai capital next semester and earn 12 credit hours in the process. Student-created documentaries on Thai social issues of students' choice will be the focus of the semester. UNC students will work in groups of three alongside Thai students from the Motion Picture and Still Photography Department at Chulalongkorn University, a partner school in Bangkok.
