This was the #sunset I saw on my #christmas walk. I shot it with a low budget Viltrox 28mm f/4.5 pancake lens.

Photo of a house and yard with Christmas lights.

Same house and yard with Christmas lights, only with camera motion to create a swirl of light trails owing to the slow shutter speed.

I picked this up the other day at a local thrift shop. It works & has a charged battery but no charger. I’ve ordered a charger.

_Weapons_ proves that Zach Cregger’s first outing as director, 2022’s _Barbarian_, was no fluke. This time, the scares are set in mainstream surburbia, with Cregger’s same juxtaposition of fright and wit. The genius of _Weapons_ lies in its ambitious scale. It’s best to go into this one blind. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

_It_Feeds_ deserves to be more well known for its original arrangement of horror tropes and draw-you-in storytelling. This one is especially good if you like scares and chills but not so much slasher violence or guts & gore. ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 out of four.

_The_Blackcoat's_Daughter_ offers more style than substance, but it might be top notch if what you like most about horror are things like foreboding atmosphere and creepy vibes. ⭐️⭐️1/2 out of four.

_The_Monkey_ is a Rube Goldberg machine of death. It feels like what it is, a movie made from a short story, but you'll really enjoy it if you like your dark humor to come with a gory body count. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of four.

_40_Acres_ is brilliantly tense and thrilling. You'll especially enjoy it if you like watching your post-apocalyptic horror from the edge of your seat. ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 out of four.
