Bold choice 2: Birdwatching. I like @blackbrighttheatre.bsky.social's subversion of the horror tropes, with this one sticking with the character development of three women in remote location when a bog-standing horror would go straight to the blood n guts chrisontheatre.wordpress.com/2025/09/03/w...
