Orwell: 2+2=5 is fantastic, a savvy modern reckoning from one of our best documentarians. In keeping with doublespeak, it will make you feel crazy and understood at the same time www.avclub.com/orwell-2-2-5...

Orwell: 2+2=5 adds up everything keeping you awake at night

With Orwell: 2+2=5, documentarian Raoul Peck cuts into our modern hell, using George Orwell as his scalpel.

fever in the bathtub, lost on bergen st... ❤️‍🩹 jacob's ladder (1990) inspired silent hill and now, even after 35 years of change, it is still the wounded heart of the franchise

💉 my essay for the new 4k restoration premiering today at @ifccenter.bsky.social:

www.gamesradar.com/entertainmen...

The best Silent Hill movie is the underrated '90s horror that originally inspired the games, and it's now back in theaters with a terrifying new restoration
