I've been at Fantastic Fest for nearly a week, and I have to absolutely shriek my praises for Curry Barker's OBSESSION.

The language of its cursed hysteria so closely resembles real-life mental illness - grounding the premise in a way that's still under my skin, hours later.

"Horror is an accursed genre...Its popularity depends on predictability, and the task of providing the expected thrills renders the genre even more formulaic than superhero blockbusters."

Though every script on the list is special, as a horror filmmaker I have to highlight @jennraisin.bsky.social 's IN THE VALLEY OF DARKNESS and @cityofangelle.bsky.social 's CUMBERLAND GAP - two terrific horror pilots, two exciting voices in our genre!

It's been a serious privilege to help curate this year's Women's List. The final list is an extraordinarily diverse range of stories worthy of the big (and small) screen.

Many centuries ago, before punchlines on The Simpsons became our reality and daily atrocities the norm, I had a “blog” called The Word In The Stone. I loved writing essays on it about my strange life but it went the way of the iPod. Until recently, when I decided to resurrect it. It’s back.
