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.

Really jacked that my essay about vigilante films, “Another Goddamn New York Day,” is included in this lavish and stacked inaugural release from the @filmsradiance.bsky.social imprint, Transmission. NIGHT OF THE JUGGLER is a film that has to be seen to be believed.
The first TX title - NIGHT OF THE JUGGLER - is shipping from our site now.
Featuring a rigid slipcase, an O-card with original artwork, pull-out poster, lobby cards and 40-page booklet, this relentless thrill-ride on the mean NYC streets has been restored in glorious 4K HDR.

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.

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.

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!
