Love it! Also featuring one of the worst policemen in horror film history😂😂

Also popular in the Greek cake shops. I loved it until I found out about the ingredient and have to admit have had a hard time eating it since😂

Oh I forgot Devil Times Five came first! Also a great one. I came across it because it was recommended by Tarantino😁

Amazing that this film isn’t better known. Other than being preceded by Vilkage of the damned, (and I guess the Bad Seed) this must be one of the first films with children murdering adults?

The bloodthirsty trilogy should get more attention! Very Hammer-esque. This was my favorite of the trilogy

Best horror show on tv. Actually up there for one of the best tv shows in general!

I found the gimmicky “hypnosis” scene dragged on far too long!

I was pretty disappointed after really enjoying the first one

Does this include reviews of
British horror films or only short stories?

As someone who studies sharks for a living…I loved this film! Great surprise. Fantastic performance from Jai Courtney.

New paper introducing the term of SUPER HABITAT for sharks in which all critical activities (resting, feeding, mating & giving birth) occurs.

‼️ New important shark paper 🦈
We demonstrate that all critical life stages (resting, feeding, being cleaned, mating & giving birth) can occur in the small Fakarava channel & we define it as a “super habitat”

Popular press coverage, from phys.org, of the new paper by @fiu.bsky.social researcher @dr-yannis.bsky.social that explains how electric rays escape #shark predators by zapping them with an electric⚡ shock!!! 😮

This was a HUGE effort with LOTS of field time and LOTS of analysis – huge thank you to all my coauthors and the many folks who contributed in the field. Very proud of this one. (4/4)

Optimal foraging theory has been used to understand the foraging choices of animals but is rarely applied to large predatory fishes due to difficulties measuring their behavior in the wild. Great hamm...

New paper lead by @etspencer.bsky.social We use biologging to understand why great hammerheads may specialize on large prey like other sharks. If they hunt blacktips off south Florida then they probably only have to catch a shark once per month link.springer.com/journal/442

New paper! Electric rays can use their electric discharge to repel large sharks. Here a white shark carrying a camera approaches a Pacific electric ray. Something caused it to sprint 20 m shallower!

I love this film! I think I always have a soft spot for Lee and Cushing working together as opposed to rivals😁

Vertical energy seascapes and diving behaviour modulate metabolic scope in a pelagic predator | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences

Free solo climbing must be a different level of danger. Saturation diving is dangerous but has rigorous safety standards so serious issues are probably rare. I took my DMT course with saturation divers and was kindly told “you wouldn’t last a day in Sat!”😂
