Under the Mountain (2009) d. Jonathan King
The third and final film from my 'Kiwi Kult' vol 1 collection. Some nice tentacled creatures in this Lovecraft for the younger generation offering. Interesting 'making of' with lots of BTS info on the excellent physical effects.

Remember when Deathgasm rocked FrightFest in 2015? Now Deathgasm 2 is here, premiering at FrightFest Halloween! Years after the demon apocalypse, Brodie’s down on his luck and resurrects the band for more metal-fuelled mayhem and undead chaos that’ll blow the roof off

Fabrice Du Welz's unhinged, uncategorisable CALVAIRE (2004) is "a dark Christmas parable of projection and performance, where art is sacrifice". This funny, freakish tale of a cabaret singer's martyrdom is on @arrowplayer.bsky.social from today #RueMorgueSelects projectedfigures.com/2014/08/17/c...

FrightFest @frightfest.bsky.social · 1d

Kicking off FrightFest Halloween is the UK debut of Paramount's wildly entertaining horror PRIMATE, where a friends’ tropical getaway becomes a brutal fight for survival. Directed by FrightFest alumni Johannes Roberts, strap in for a terrifyingly gory ride! 🩸🐒 @paramountscares.com

Perfect Creature (2006) d. Glenn Standring
Another film from Umbrella's 'Kiwi Kult' collection vol 1. A refreshingly different take on the Vampire mythos. Interesting essay in the extras on this one and 'The Irrefutable Truth About Demons' (2000) by @antbit.projectedfigures.com

This is the second time I've had to upload this, either Bsky or LB keep removing the link. This is the piece of writing I'm most proud of and the one closest to my heart.

The Last Movie (1971) d. Dennis Hopper
Finally got round to watching this thanks to my good friend Ian gifting me the Indicator blu-ray.
Beautifully chaotic. Meta before meta was fashionable...

Aw thank you for saying that Rhiannon! ☺️

The Irrefutable Truth About Demons (2000) d. Glenn Standring
From the 'Kiwi Kult' volume 1 collection from Umbrella. The cultists looked like punk rockers and the cult leader was clearly modelled on Anton LaVey... I loved it!

Graham🐝 @grahamthings.bsky.social · 6d

They looked demonic, or at the very least, prehistoric!
