14:00     Blow Out, Brian De Palma, 1981

"In the film Aliens the psychopathic innards escape and jump from host to host, bursting unexpectedly from their bodies."

20:00     Kiss Me Deadly, Robert Aldrich, 1955

"In the recent film, The Stepfather, the psychopath, in the guise of a real estate agent chats amiably with a psychiatrist who is pretending to be a house hunter, but who is there to gauge the mental health of the ‘real estate agent’."
