‘Suzzanna: The Queen of Black Magic’ Is a Colorful Portrait of a Cult Horror Legend

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-07-21 17:00:52

Suzzanna: The Queen of Black Magic offers an excellent introduction to the Indonesian movie legend, but it’s a fun watch even if you’re already familiar with her work. Just about the only prerequisite for enjoyment is being a horror fan, because David Gregory’s documentary is packed with clips from Suzzanna’s gloriously over-the-top filmography, especially her much-loved early-’80s entries. “The Queen of Indonesian Horror,” as she came to be known, was born during World War II; she knew from an

Getting a good selection of vitamins and minerals in your diet is vital to staying fit and healthy, and that shouldn't be a shock to anyone at this point. If you have a balanced diet, you're likely already getting the nutrients that you need. But that can change, especially as we age and our bodies demand more. Older people are at an increased risk of low vitamin consumption -- partly because our bodies can no longer absorb certain nutrients as effectively as they once did. So, if you're dealing

Colossal Eruption Carves ‘Canyon of Fire’ Onto the Sun’s Surface

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-07-24 09:10:22

On July 15, a solar filament erupted from the Sun’s upper left side, ejecting a powerful blast of plasma and magnetic fields into space. The resulting explosion was so massive that it seared a deep, fiery scar of hot plasma and debris onto the star’s visible surface. While filament eruptions aren’t uncommon, astronomers had already been watching an unusually large filament—cold, dense ribbons of gas suspended above the Sun’s surface—that they spotted days before the explosion.
