There's so much I like about INCOMPLETE CHAIRS, even though it's far from perfect. Shades of AUDITION/AMERICAN PSYCHO/JUNJI ITO. Oddly the perfect double-feature with NO OTHER CHOICE. @bloody-disgusting.com @brooklynhorror.bsky.social #BHFF #BrooklynHorror

I can sometimes be "yeah whatever" about MY HERO ACADEMIA, but that was genuinely perfect television. Really satisfying to see a series so thoroughly stick the landing in every regard, on their terms. Bakugo! #anitwt #MyHeroAcademia #Bakugo @crunchyroll.com @myheroacademia.bsky.social

Guys, CHAINSAW MAN: THE MOVIE - REZE ARC is just perfection. Fujimoto in his purest form. INFINITY CASTLE wishes it could grasp such greatness. Best visuals I've seen all year. @bloody-disgusting.com @crunchyroll.com @ryancoltlevy.bsky.social #ChainsawMan

To me, BLACK PHONE 2 felt like the perfect synthesis of everything Scott Derrickson and @crobertcargill.bsky.social have been playing around with for years. There's even some HELLRAISER going on in here. Keep stoking this fire, guys. @bloody-disgusting.com

Why ‘Black Phone 2’ Is A Slasher Chimera That Could Be The Face Of Blumhouse’s Future

Black Phone 2 is a scarier and more successful sequel, but its reinvention of the Grabber into a supernatural entity helps him become a modern Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees. Blumhouse has made not...

NEW GROUP is exactly my type of shit. Junji Ito meets Sion Sono, with shades of HUMAN CENTIPEDE thrown in for good measure. Yûta Shimotsu is one to keep an eye on because we need more madness like THIS. @bloody-disgusting.com @brooklynhorror.bsky.social
