Could be flippin' awful, but I'm intrigued..!

Richard Wells @slipperyjack.bsky.social · 2d

Heh, I *think* I might be at a crew screening down in Bristol then, not sure yet. I am there next week though for that Oh Whistle live score thing...

Richard Wells @slipperyjack.bsky.social · 2d

Oh yeah, Ian from Flatpack told me about that the other week! I have not seen this flick..

Richard Wells @slipperyjack.bsky.social · 2d

A damn shame Liam Gavin hasn't made a follow up, it was a cracking debut...

Jeff VanderMeer @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social · 2d

If you are looking for an unusual, tense, and oddly beautiful horror movie this Halloween, I highly recommend A Dark Song, should it have escaped your notice before.

Woman facing a doorway with arcane symbols with title A Dark Song and accolades including Outstanding abd An Utterly Unique Film.

My *major* occult discovery POSSESSED, a novel by Rosalie and Edward Synton (real surname Corse-Scott), has a cover! It's out on December 4 - I'm *really* excited for you to read the book and my 5,000 word introduction which gives life to the authors and a critical overview of the novel.

See also Carpenter's The Thing (revisited the other night). The received wisdom that it bombed due to audiences only wanting 'optimistic alien movies' in the wake of E.T. makes no sense to me...

Here's a double exposure Polaroid I captured last year at Castlerigg stone circle. The looming spirit of the stone..!
#StandingStoneSunday

Double exposure Polaroid. In the lower half sits Castlerigg stone circle with the lake district fells behind. Overlaying the sky is an upside down close up shot of the tip of one of the stones.

- Love the swirling score by Augustin Viard (produced by Warren Ellis), performed on the ondes Martenot, a kind of early electronic keyboard invented in 1928. A vibe somewhere between a theremin and glass harmonica. More ondes Martenot movie scores, please..!

Autumnal oneiric bangers!
Lucile Hadzihalilovic's mysterious and hypnotic EARWIG (2021). A neat adaptation of the bizzaro B. Catling source novella, and very much at one with the director's previous uncanny masterpieces. Big fan! All that gloom and disquiet, mmm...
