An incredible honor to be invited by @phantasmagpress.bsky.social to do an illustration to accompany an interview with sfx artist Pierre-Olivier Persin, who won the Oscar for his work on #thesubstance 💖

Illustration for the movie the substance. Elizabeth is taking up most of the top left of the image, showing her back stitched up. There’s a fleshy background, Monstroelisasue peeking out at the bottom. There’s a border of iconography from the movie: a syringe, a vial, teeth, star lights, Hollywood star for Elisabeth sparkle, an egg with two yolks, chicken wings, a line of plump lips smiling

#Cannes As a sex-centred detective story coloured by the black comedy of a Coen Brother, “Honey Don’t!” is raunchy, bloody entertainment.

#Cannes Riding the wave of its midnight movie charm, “Dangerous Animals” is a tightly paced crowd-pleaser that goes overboard in all the right ways.

#Cannes While not one of the great queer romances, Oliver Hermanus’ “The History of Sound” remains a moving period drama that is accomplished in its restraint and indebted to its stars.

#Cannes Leaving behind the sharp-edged audacity of “Raw” and “Titane”, “Alpha” is a moody, meandering film with director Julia Ducournau at her most restrained. It’s a devastating examination of empathy in the darkest of times.

#Cannes Infinitely more interested in emotion than traditional narrative, “Die, My Love” is driven by both its heightened atmosphere and Lawrence’s visceral performance. It’s uneasy—but essential—viewing. Read our review at phantasmag.com/die,-my-love...

#Cannes As a dark COVID comedy, Eddington falls flat. The TikTok cult leaders and self-centred social justice warriors entertain before the joke gets told too many times. Read our review at phantasmag.com/eddington-re...

#Cannes “Welcome to Lynchland”: With Lynch’s cryptic filmography demanding exhaustive analysis, it’s no small feat that Stéphane Ghez’s documentary paints a vivid picture of the director in its brisk 1-hour runtime. Read our review at phantasmag.com/welcome-to-l...

That's why horror is OUR genre. Normative society will never embrace it because they don't need it, because it's not OF them and for them.
