@crobertcargill.bsky.social Had a blast seeing MAN FINDS TAPE. Delivers that perfect dangerous feeling of watching footage it feels like you’re not supposed to watch. The 4am YouTube/Reddit rabbit hole experience served in cinema form. Loved it!

Always have weird dreams after watching found footage horror. John Gholson wouldn’t stop smiling at me last night. Tried to wake up but he wouldn’t let me

I've seen Tsui Hark's PEKING OPERA BLUES several times, but after viewing it again last night I realized this is a rare movie that gets better each time you see it. Always something new to marvel at and delight.

Unquestionably one of the greatest films ever made, Hong Kong or otherwise.

Hong Kong has been reeling from an incomprehensible tragedy in recent days. I was given the daunting task of selecting 10 films that focus on communities enduring trauma and finding a modicum of catharsis. This was not an easy one. www.scmp.com/lifestyle/en...

Koooooooontz! I watched/rewatched all 15 Koontz adaptations, and then I ranked them for your pleasure and convenience!
Dean Koontz is a best-selling author, but film and TV adaptations of his work haven't left much of a cultural footprint behind. Here's a ranking of the 15 best.

Idk guys, I think it's pretty damn cool the biggest thing on TV is a Stephen King-inspired, D&D themed horror show that looks like it cost a billion dollars, is eventized on holidays, and features spectacular creature FX.

Yuck that yum if you want, but that 4th ep of STRANGER THINGS is gnnnarrrrly.

Saw this book while browsing in a bookstore, and my kid became so obsessed with it that he took 41 pictures of it on my phone. I guess I know what Santa’s getting him this year.

A legend of rare quality. Udo Kier was absolutely unique in every aspect, an icon and an iconoclast at the same time. There will never be another like him.

Rest well, sir, lord knows you've earned it.

Slowly updating my website. Not a lot of original content there, but a convenient one-stop-shop to post links to all my reviews. There's still a lot to add, reformat, and plenty of broken links if you dig deep enough, but do take a look if you have a minute, and it's free of course. marshattacks.com

Nico Mastorakis saw THE CRAZIES and screamed "crazier! crazier!" and we should all be grateful. Just a nonsensical ride loaded with gunfire and explosions. Wings Hauser, Brion James, George Kennedy, Bo Hopkins... and that helicopter chase. That helicopter chase! Irresponsible, dumb, and glorious.
