Happy hump day! I hope you can enjoy some delicious wieners on this fine day, ideally with some chips. It's a bright and sunny beautiful day and things are looking up for Don! I got a plate full of dogs and a heart full of love for my fellow man, nothing can bring me down! #dogwatch #seekdogsnotwar

A ★★★★★ review of Possession (1981)

I had exactly zero ideas about this thing going into it aside from the one very famous scene in the subway halls, but holy shit man. Possession is a truly wild experience, a thriller that feels very a...

Oct 7th: Possession
Dir: Andrzej Żuławski

I didn't really know much going into this film but it's now one of my favorites. Possession is a creeping horror film about an end of things, the end of a relation, the end of the division between Berlin, and what feels like the end of the world itself.

Oct 6th: Evil Dead 2
Dir: Sam Raimi

This might be the best movie every made. Incredible pace, amazing slapstick bits, Sam Raimi at his absolute best. Some of the most creative camera work and sets and lighting and stunts and props of all time, just unfathomable sauce. Everything is perfect.

Oct 4: Saw
Dir. James Wan

I love Saw, it's the only one of these movies that feels like a real film. For a smaller budget film that gradually got funding it turned out so well. It's such a simple but nice little story that just works, doesn't even have excessive gore and is more mystery. Peam.

A ★★★★ review of Talk to Me (2022)

Talk to Me is a a very neat little tidy film about addiction warping reality around you, turning friends and family into monsters and problems to be dealt with instead of seeing them as offering a hel...

Oct 3: Talk to Me
Dir. Philippou Brothers

Talk to Me is a slow burn ghost story that doubles as a metaphor for addiction and is all a very neat and tidy little package. It's not doing anything sensational, but it is overall pretty solid. There's a crazy frog ringtone in it though, and toe sucking!

Oct 2: Frankenhooker
Dir. Frank Henenlotter

Frankenhooker is one of the funniest and campiest films I've ever seen, it's a real delight for the ages. Blood, boobs, and just oodles of incredible comedy bits all wrapped up in a retelling of Frankenstein. Frank buddy, this might be peak.

It's an all timer tbh, it's wild that it all comes together so well considering it was made on a budget and with more or less the goodwill of the directors friends and family offering them places to shoot. The Tall Man is such an awesome spooky dude, the entire thing is like a waking nightmare.

Oct 1: Phantasm
Dir. Don Coscarelli

God this movie rocks, it's genuinely so awesome that one of the all time best movies ever was made without permits and only filming on the weekend over like a year. It's so well put together. One of the all timers.

It's October, which means I'm watching 1 spooky movie a day because I love the season. Keeping this thread alive through the season.

Came to the conclusion last night that the only reason Americans cared about 9/11 was the building getting damaged, not the people inside of the building. Buildings are far more important to American crime than the people. What's the one thing they saved from the Unibomber? His house. Checkmate.

Hotel Barcelona a game I'd wager a good deal of people were waiting on has come out and I think people kind of just forgot since 30 other things also came out. Anyway I'm gonna hit that up here soon too, I liked the demo even if it was clunky. Felt like an XBLA game in a positive way.

Dem @gabrialbjames.bsky.social · 14d

So far I'm feeling pretty positive about Silent Hill F. It's got some proformance issues, ran clunky at points for sure, even bumped down. Even crashed and had a wacky visual bug. Aside from that though it's been rock solid, still captures that spirit yet remains very video gamey. Excited for more!
