More a rural thriller than a trad hillbilly horror, townsfolk called to avenge their slain when the cops renege. A real-world atmosphere, deep characters and stronger than usual emotions enrich the Southern Gothic vibe. paulfinch-writer.blogspot.com/2023/11/chec...

Yes, It’s Fascism
Until recently, I thought it a term best avoided. But now, the resemblances are too many and too strong to deny.

My favorite film in the series so far. It’s absolutely insane, and I’d happily have watched Ralph Fiennes and Jack O’Connell chew scenery for the entire runtime. (And that Iron Maiden needle drop 🫨)

Taut, brutal, and relentless, director Nia DaCosta absolutely knocked this one out of the park.

Here's a book I loved!
I think you'll love it too!

Jack & Jill by @kealanpatrickburke.bsky.social
Relationship strife ✔️
Mental health examination ✔️
Dreams that feel all too real ✔️
An ending that'll shock you ✔️

This novella is phenomenal, panic-inducing & a fascinating psychological journey.
