Early life
McDonagh was born in New York City, the daughter of Don McDonagh, a dance critic and author, and Jennifer Jane Tobutt,[2] She is of Irish descent.[3] Her grandparents, both Irish emigrants, operated the Moylan Tavern in Morningside Heights.[3]
She received her Bachelor of Arts from Hunter College and her Master of Fine Arts from Columbia University,[4] where she co-founded and edited the magazine Columbia Film Review.[5] She was simultaneously working in the publicity department of the New York City Ballet,[4] eventually becoming head of publicity.[6]
Career
In 1991, McDonagh released her book Broken Mirrors, Broken Minds, a scholarly analysis, expanded from her master's thesis,[7] of the films of Italian giallo writer-producer-director Dario Argento.[8] An expanded 2010 reissue was named one of PopMatters' "Best Non-Fiction of 2010".[9]
After leaving New York City Ballet, McDonagh taught film as an adjunct professor at Brooklyn College,[10] during which time she completed Filmmaking on the Fringe: The Good, The Bad, and the Deviant Directors[11][12] and The 50 Most Erotic Films of All Time.[13][14] Her freelance work during this period included film pieces for The New York Times,[15] Entertainment Weekly,[16] Film Comment,[17] Time Out New York,[18] Premiere[19] Fangoria,[20] and other magazines and newspapers. From 1995 to 2008, she was senior movies editor for the website of the magazine TV Guide.[21][22]
Her book Movie Lust (2006) was third in the Sasquatch Books series begun with Book Lust by Nancy Pearl and Music Lust by Nic Harcourt.[23][24] In 2006, she was a co-founder of the Alliance of Women Film Journalists.[25] She is also a member of the New York Film Critics Online.[26]
In 2014, McDonagh created the company 120 Days Books to republish rare 1970s and 1980s gay-erotica genre novels, beginning with a pair of two-in-one volumes: the crime thrillers Man Eater and Night of the Sadist and the supernatural fantasies Vampire's Kiss and Gay Vampire.[27] Later in the decade, this became an imprint of Riverdale Avenue Books.[28]
McDonagh provides interviews and second-channel commentary on DVD / Blu-ray releases, including for director Paul Schrader's Blue Collar,[29] Dario Argento's Tenebrae,[30] and Douglas Buck's Family Portraits: A Trilogy of America,[31] and liner notes, including for the Criterion Collection releases The Tunnel, The Innocents,[32] Kuroneko,[33] and the paired Corridors of Blood/The Haunted Strangler,[34] Arrow Video's Dressed to Kill,[35] and Second Sight Films' The Texas Chain Saw Massacre 4K UHD.[36] She stars in a documentary short, speaking on serial-killer cinema, on the Criterion Collection release of The Silence of the Lambs.[37] Since 2016, she has been a recurring guest host of the podcast The Projection Booth.[38] In 2024, she began reviewing horror and other genre films weekly at her online website, Maitland on Movies.[39][40]
She has appeared in documentaries, including Night Bites: Women and Their Vampires (2003) for WE: Women's Entertainment[41] and Pretty Bloody: The Women of Horror (2009), for Canada's Space network,[42] and as a panelist at film events by the Museum of the Moving Image and others.[43][44] She has served on the juries of film festivals including the 2022 Fantasia International Film Festival in Montreal, Canada.[45]
