Ah ok. Must’ve been the sentencing I saw. But what a shame to fall into such hatred, especially after writing a work condemning it.

Great film though, and very much against cruelty. Thanks @onlymcfisherman.bsky.social for putting it on my radar!

There’s a 8 book series, this is based on the first, and I’d love to read it but I discovered that unfortunately the writer, ironically, proved to be a Nazi himself and was jailed for his anti-Islamic hate speech and encouragement of violence and the books were pulled from print.

A gruesome German neo-noir horror film that follows a cat who unravels a mystery behind a string of feline murders. Gregor Mendel nightmares, cat gods, a reckoning with Nazism, and a stellar Boy George song, this is for the grownup Secret of NIMH kids who dare to venture darker.

A odd hidden gem. The anxieties of adolescence - sex, abandonment, death, birth, and possession explored through the lens of an 11 year-old boy obsessed with blindness and violence. A disquieting film with a pervasive sense of unease, not due to what it shows, but what it hides. “I like looking.”

Very well done and believable. Even got me a bit creeped out at the end. Can’t imagine watching this live in ‘92 and not knowing it was a work of fiction. Much credit to Lesley Manning for essentially developing the Blumhouse found footage/home haunting film formula.

Hahaha! Hell yes!!! Anna Zlokovic’s “Coochie Coochie Coo” is my favorite, and Alex Ross Perry’s “Kidprint” is the most disturbing, but man, not a weak link here. I think it’s my favorite of the V/H/S series. I hope these are made yearly forever.

This was a lot of fun! It reminded me of a very good remake of a non-existent albeit more sexually and morally transgressive European horror movie you’d only watch once because you’d feel like shit. Killer, bloody third act. I really like Maddie Hasson (Sydney of Malignant fame)! #BoneLake

Considered a game-changer for a reason and introduced American audiences to a whole new world of horror. Enough differences between this and Verbinski’s to make both worthwhile. The Japanese ending feels more directly sinister though.

My DMs on here no longer function because I refuse to give a social media platform my social security number or ID because the government demands it. We did not vote for this.

I’ll still be on here but if you’re trying to DM me and can’t, let me know and we’ll figure something out.
