There has, sadly, been a tragic loss to the WBAI radio family. Long-time anchorman and host Robert Knight passed away over the weekend, and so Hour of the Wolf is being pre-empted this week for a special tribute to the man. This kind of thing will happen -- not always for unfortunate circumstances; there are always pledge drives and the like to account for -- and since in this case I want to hold my Transcendence review for when the show comes back next week, I figured this would be a good time to experiment with doing stand-alone review segments featuring films that maybe didn't get the attention they deserved upon release, or that fall into genres that HotWolf host Jim Freund doesn't want to feature on his show, such as horror.
Or, in this case, both, since we'll be talking about 23:59, an unusual and evocative horror film out of, of all places, Singapore, that got a home video release in the U.S. last year, and is still available in DVD and streaming form on Amazon.
