As a long, hot summer pivots towards its sweaty end, Travis Woods presents an erotic thriller double feature syllabus, pairing ten of the genre’s classics with complementary hidden gems. boxd.it/2FS
I made my @letterboxd.social debut writing about the genre that handcuffs sex to danger, noir to romance: the Erotic Thriller.
This primer body doubles 10 classics with 10 rarities. Make a new watchlist as this long, hot summer draws to a close--films meant to be watched in, and by, the dark.

For @letterboxd.social Journal’s list of Underseen Winter Holiday Favorites, I wrote about THE SILENT PARTNER, a nasty, horny little Hitch-shocker of Canadian arthouse-grindhouse and icy unpredictability.
To honor the winter break on the horizon, Letterboxd crew and contributors share twenty underseen holiday favorites: where Christmas and Hanukkah deep cuts and surprisingly festive noir and stop-motion delights all have a seat at the table. boxd.it/2QQ

God, we do this EVERY YEAR. I'm so tired of this endless debate as to whether it's a holiday movie, or simply takes place on a holiday, so let me make it clear once and for all--
Yes, NIGHT EYES 3 *is* a Christmas movie.

Travis is one of my favorite people so when I see he’s part of a release, my recommendation is to immediately buy it!
I’m so honored to be part of the inaugural Transmission imprint release for @filmsradiance.bsky.social: the brain-blistering chase film, NIGHT OF THE JUGGLER. My essay, “Another Goddamn New York Day,” is included in this insanely stacked set.
Our first Transmission imprint release - NIGHT OF THE JUGGLER - is now shipping from our site. Orders will be dispatched over the next few days, with some combined alongside December pre-orders that will also ship imminently.

Happy 88th to Ridley Scott—I wrote for @southwestreview.bsky.social about his misunderstood and marrow-sick masterpiece of the End Times, THE COUNSELOR.
Not a noir thriller, or a cowboy noir, or a crime film at all; rather, THE COUNSELOR is Scott’s soap opera of the Grand Guignol.

Very excited that my first narrative film is not only premiering on @shudder.com tomorrow, but that it's also getting so many screenings!! Being a 30-minute film I didn't expect it to get any theatrical play, so the fact that all these venues programmed it to support features is a huge deal to me.🖤
Upcoming screenings for THE OCCUPANT OF THE ROOM, beginning tomorrow with its premiere on @shudder.com as part of annual series THE HAUNTED SEASON (in all their territories!)
Scan through the list to see if it is coming to a theatre near you!
