very useful and important thread
Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

Today I read @roccotthompson.bsky.social ‘s interview with the elusive Clifton Holmes, director of the scuzzy lo-fi nightmare IN THE DARK. Rocco introduced me to it last year and has been spreading the gospel of what TRULY feels like a cursed film.

"as fragile and delicate as a snowflake, as disorientating and mysterious as adolescence, and as dark as a winter’s night": Lucile Hadzihalilovic's fantastical 'frio-noir' THE ICE TOWER (2025) is on BFIPlayer from today. Review for @lwlies.com lwlies.com/reviews/the-...

Lucile Hadžihalilović's mesmerising riff on the famous Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale is a true triumph of imagination.

Cleavers: Killer Clowns (2019) d. MJ Dixon
That's the first two re-watched now I'm ready for the third part at Horror on Sea festival in a few days time. I'll be looking out for my 'thank you' credit at the end of the film as I did my little bit to help fund it... 😀

As well as watching horror films I am passionate about supporting independent creatives in the genre. One such person is @mychoeg.bsky.social who has created a whole universe for their films to exist in. Lovely chap as well!

Yesterday I read @maggierachael.bsky.social’s enlightening Bowie birthday piece for @fangoria.bsky.social, where she uncovers the Thin White Duke’s secret history as a horror host (something I had no idea about!) 👩‍🎤

Did you know David Bowie was secretly a horror host? Ten years after his death, we look back at one of the Starman's most underrated TV roles.

Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl (2009)
Yoshihiro Nishimura, Naoyuki Tomomatsu
Ending the week with one of the first Japanese splatterpunk films I saw back in the day and still love. Just noticed that it is co-directed by the same director as Osaka Telephone Club (1997) which I watched last week.

Gun Woman (2014) d. Kurando Mitsutake
An ex drug addict is trained to be the gun woman of the title in this stylized revenge film. The target is super creepy with his penchant for necrophilia. #Asami is wonderful as the assassin...
January 9, 2026 at 2:27 PM
Otenki onee-san R (1996) d. Tomoaki Hosoyama
'Weather Woman Returns'
Doesn't have the hyperactive madcap energy of the first film and to begin with I thought I would be disappointed. It does though have a hypnotic charm which won me over by the end.
January 8, 2026 at 5:36 PM
Otenki onêsan (1995) d. Tomoaki Hosoyama
'Weather Woman'
Dance numbers, bondage, a fantastical showdown in a forest between two weather women... what more could one ask for? So glad I got to see this!

Today I read @blsaycewrites.bsky.social’s review of the @secondsightfilms.bsky.social POSSESSION release, because I waited too long to purchase mine like an IDIOT and now it’s sold out, so I need to soothe/hurt myself further with Becci’s wondrous words 🦑

Second Sight Films' limited edition blu-ray release of Possession is a boxset befitting of the cult horror classic.

Mutant Girls Squad (2010)
d. Tak Sakaguchi, Noboru Iguchi, Yoshihiro Nishimura
The three directors worked on a chapter each rather than this being an anthology. Never fails to cheer me up!
I know you will see this anyway @mai8chan.bsky.social but I'll tag you all the same! 🇯🇵 🩸🖤

Today I read @violetlucca.bsky.social’s piece on THE SHROUDS, Hunny the “extreme obsequiousness” of AI chatbots and how Cronenberg’s films are “extensions of what currently exists”. Have had this essay bookmarked for a while,& today of all days, I really needed it.
