Spent the weekend bringing a dream project to life with a fantastically talented and wonderful crew. Incredibly grateful for their hard work and generosity. Now we develop the film and get to cutting! Cannot WAIT to share this lovely nightmare with the world ❤️🏔🖤

Fuck STRANGER THINGS (on Netflix)
Noah Schnapp (plays Will Beyers) is a Zionist, racist, and genocide supporter.
He’s made horrible comments and been allowed to keep his job whilst they fired Susan Surandon and Melissa Berrara for speaking up for Palestine.

#Shocktober Saloum (2021) - AMAZINGLY sweaty. Love a military vs supernatural film. Digs deep into local Senegalese lore to create a genuinely unique adversary. I really dig the central threesome and the filmmaking is beautiful, but I do wish the supporting cast got a little more characterization.

Copied from Equality Florida:
We hold space, grief, and love for every life taken — including Girlalala, a 21-year-old Black transgender woman who was brutally murdered in Broward County just days ago.

rewatched Pan's Labyrinth for the first time in 10+ years and it's even more exquisite than I remembered. perfect viewing for the times, and the faun is a top 5 creature design

Horror’s lack of respectability is a strength of the genre. It gives us freedom and prevents (some of) us from taking ourselves too seriously

Still, fruitlessly, holding out for a second season of Guillermo Del Toro's Cabinet Of Curiosities. There are so many stories that would make an incredible episode of an anthology horror series.

One of these days, Capitalism will sustain its last wound. It will topple and die, and we will see it bleed out in the street, neither mourned nor missed. Every cut and needle's prick brings us closer to that day.

A recommendation for the sickos who vibe with slow, atmospheric nonsense, full of imagery that evokes Lovecraft (by way of Fulci and Rollin).
DARK WATERS (1993) is full of the blasphemous gothic, slumbering ancient gods, moldering tombs, desolate cliffsides as the scene of monstrous rituals, etc

Maybe it’s bc a huge portion of my media consumption is abrasive music/terrible sexploitation movies from the 1970s-80s with titles like “Trucker’s Woman” but I don’t get why people need everyone else to think the bad shit they like is Good, Actually. Have the courage to be into what you’re into!
