You can’t keep a good hedgehog down, and even if it is only for nostalgia’s sake, the name of Sonic is one that, like the Duracell Bunny, seems to keep going, and going…until, well you get the picture.

For many, film and video games are now interchangeable, one pushes the other onwards, they are the same behemoth just with different pasts driving them; and for others it is a tangled web, one designed for a generation that perhaps has not explored the rich history that has placed cinema at the head of entertaining and educating millions of people since it first gained reverence as the peak of the visual art form and remained so until its more agnostic sibling, television, stole its pace in the habits of billions.

It is only when you re-immerse yourself back into the realm of previous encounters that you witness just how much of it was for your benefit, the sense that the scene before you taking place was possibly scripted, that you were fooled into believing one thing, when in actual fact the opposite was the true course of action taken; it is enough to make you scream time after time, but one that is of anguished understanding rather than let down annoyance.

The very act of being part of, or witnessing, a traumatic event is such that for those who live through it, the mind will do whatever it can to protect them from the images, the constant emotional distress that will creep into their lives when they least expect it, or the triggers that will accumulate and cause the brain to fracture, to cause a schism that will separate truth from fiction.

There is nothing that shows the public how much you admire a piece of art than that which replicates and reproduces the key elements without going the full hog and being accused of absolute plagiarism.
Not so much a copy, but perhaps an imitation of thought, a simulation of scenes and not a mockery, a reasoned clone with its own back story, and a train of desire to cash in on the name closely associated with the original, whilst retaining the barest glimpse of what it was known for.

The ‘B’ movie, maligned by some, praised by others for their innovation and for giving the relative unknown actor or director, even writer, their first big chance to impress on screen, has for generations of film lovers been part of their discovery of the genre, and by contrast for those willing to delve to a depth that the big players refuse to entertain, given them a so-called guilty pleasure that makes dinner table conversation lighter and gives a retrospective analysis of the stars who have inhabited the reels.
