Genre film critic and author. Co-host of the Faculty of Horror podcast. She/her.
I love listening to GDT talk about his films but man, as a society we have to do something about the weird lighting and rendering in these Netflix films that makes them look flat as fuck.

The BTS footage looks ten times better than the final product.

Just caught this as part of a local rep cinema’s Sorry, Wrong Number series and am glad to have remedied a blind spot I didn’t know I had. One of the most chilling and unflinching films about assault and trauma I’ve ever seen.

In my next life I want to come back as a Frankenstein Monster wandering around on stage during an Alice Cooper set.

I would be a middling but competent member of the Helena Markos Dance Company from Suspiria (2018). Not good enough to have my life force sucked out but a dependable part of the ensemble and sacrifices.
saw this on twitter & i had to know yall answers too 😂
