Happy to have contributed to @letterboxd.social's 24 Underseen Horror Films by writing about my favorite feature of horny, depressed filmmaking--Larry Fessenden's HABIT.

Stop what you're doing and watch this Cassavetes castlevania of toxic love and vampiric sex RIGHT NOW.

Battle doomscrolling by posting 5 small pleasures in life:

1. Watching Buster Keaton movies

2. Listening to a score while you walk & pretending like you’re in the movie

3. The way the tape goes into a VHS player

4. Reading something that makes you feel less alone

5. Really old movie theaters

1. Cold side of a pillow
2. Autumn in New York City, sweater-weather temperature
3. Crocs (the shoe, not the reptile)
4. Finding stuff after thinking you lost it
5. Cats

Incoming sap. At this moment, and in many moments before, there isn’t an actor I appreciate more than Sam Neill. He’s fearless, which can be a little frightening, and yet he emanates tenderness. He’s a central part of so many of my favorite movies. And he turns 78 next week. A gentleman legend.
