The Wind Rises may be Hayao Miyazaki’s last film. I hope that’s not the case. Miyazaki has been one of the world’s greatest animators for decades, and you can see a lot of the reasons why by watching this film.

The Girl Next Door is based on the notorious horror novel by Jack Ketchum. The film took advantage of that notoriety, arriving in the mist much discussion of the tough and brutal subject matter.
