Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH 1971 children's science fiction/fantasy book by Robert C. O'Brien, with illustrations by Zena Bernstein. The novel was published by the New York City publishing house Atheneum Books. This book was the winner of numerous awards including the 1972 Newbery Medal. Ten years following its publication, the story was adapted for film as The Secret of NIMH (1982). The novel centres around a colony of escaped lab rats–the rats of NIMH–who live in a technologically sophisticated and literate society mimicking that of humans. They come to the aid of Mrs. Frisby, a widowed field mouse who seeks to protect her children and home from destruction by a farmer’s plow. The rats of NIMH were inspired by the research of John B. Calhoun on mouse and rat population dynamics at the National Institute of Mental Health from the 1940s to the 1960s. After O’Brien’s death in 1973, his daughter Jane Leslie Conly wrote two sequels to Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. The Secret of NIMH (1982) An American animated fantasy adventure film directed by Don Bluth in his directorial debut and based on Robert C. O'Brien's 1971 children's novel, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. The film features the voices of Elizabeth Hartman, Peter Strauss, Arthur Malet, Dom DeLuise, John Carradine, Derek Jacobi, Hermione Baddeley, and Paul Shenar. It was produced by Bluth's production company Don Bluth Productions in association with Aurora Productions. The Secret of NIMH was released in the United States on July 2, 1982, by MGM/UA Entertainment Co. under the United Artists label. It was praised by critics for its elegant and painstakingly detailed animation, compelling characters, and deep and mature plot, and won a Saturn Award for Best Animated Film of 1982. Though only a moderate success at the box office, it turned a solid profit through home video and overseas releases. It was followed in 1998 by a direct-to-video sequel, The Secret of NIMH 2: Timmy to the Rescue, which was made without Bluth's involvement or input and met with poor reception. In 2015, a live-action/computer-animated remake was reported to be in the works. A television series adaptation is also in development by the Fox Corporation.

Tiré d’un best-seller de Jeffrey Konvitz , la sentinelle des maudits (1977) de Michael Winner est considéré comme un petit classique du cinéma d’horreur. Le film tente de surfer sur le succès des précédentes œuvres horrifiques traitants de démonologie produits par les majors. Le scénario décrit la descente aux enfers d’une célèbre mannequin, qui emménage dans un immeuble habité par des locataires forts étranges et peu recommandables. Résumé ainsi on pense forcément à Rosemary ‘s baby de Roman Polanski mais heureusement le film s’en démarque complètement. Le metteur en scène du justicier dans la ville opte pour un fantastique particulièrement déviant, malsain et perturbant. Il tourne une grande partie de ses séquences dans un immeuble réputé hanté et utilise même ses intérieures. Très à la mode à l’époque dans le cinéma de genre , le casting est constitué d’acteurs quasi inconnus comme l’actrice principale Christina Raines et des grandes stars comme John Carradine ou Ava Gardner. Même si je ne considère pas cette œuvre comme un sommet du genre, il faut malgré tout avouer qu’il n’a rien perdu de son climat cauchemardesque. Les maquillages restent encore aujourd’hui très crédibles et les effets visuels sur verre sont bluffants de réalisme. Les acteurs jouent parfaitement leurs rôles. La mise en scène de winner est efficace et concise. Le rythme est soutenu, mais malheureusement j’ai parfois trouvé l’intrigue assez confuse et souvent prévisible. Pour renforcer le malaise, le réalisateur n’a pas hésité à engager des personnes réellement difformes pour incarner des démons. Évidemment, ce choix fort discutable, renforce l’impact horrifique du long-métrage qui a beaucoup choqué et a contribué à son échec commercial. La Paramount est donc déçue du résultat et décide de ne pas adaptée sa suite littéraire. Malgré mes quelques réserves, la sentinelle des maudits mérite largement un visionnage. #lasentinelledesmaudits #thesentinel #michaelwinner #christinaraines #johncarradine #eliwallach #avagardner #horror #horrormovies #horrorfan #horreur #fantastique #dvd #filmculte #cinema #movies #cinephile #geek #horrorgeek #geekinworld (à Paris, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkjAUbnrZT6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
