I pick my kid up 20 minutes early because he uses an assistive device and I have to park out of the line. I get there 10 minutes early just in case (as a reforming tidsoptimist, yay me) and the line is usually at least 8 or 9 cars deep. Meaning they’ve been there a while. For middle school. 😮‍💨

“Two for two on movies last night.” Looking at their page, looks like the other movie was THE LOVED ONES. Been a minute since I saw that one but if memory serves it’s good company 🙏🏻.

INSTAGRAM POST reviewing Ghosts of the Void. “Two for two on movies last night. Poster makes it look like The Strangers if they were also in Slipknot and it's kind of that... but also not. The movie taps into mental illness, class issues, addiction, codependency, and toxic relationships with a slow burn creep.”

Date night with my favorite person, with a movie by one of my favorite filmmakers, based on a story by one of my favorite authors.

I wish for a robust safety net in this country so more people could walk away from jobs en masse.

They’re lovely and all but I should probably get used to captivity.

Hey new internet friends! If you wanna know more about this guy you just followed, check out my debut feature, GHOSTS OF THE VOID, on Tubi:

link.tubi.tv/gDKjpLKmjJb

Ghosts of the Void is a fascinating and beautifully rich slow-burn thriller that delves deep into the fragility of the human psyche.

Writer/director Jason Miller carefully crafts a riveting, slow-burn thriller that delves deep into the psychological depths of a crumbling marriage stuck in the middle of nowhere.

This was a triumphant debut and one hell of a kick in the nuts.
Both a slow burn descent into mental illness and a biting critique of the fragility of the American dream, Ghosts of the Void is a bleak and brilliant horror movie.

Fair warning: it’s a bit of a downer. If that’s not what you need in your life right now, no offense taken if you skip.

But if a “scathing critique of the American Dream” (@hauntedmeg.bsky.social ) might be cathartic for you, check it out.

I just realized it’s been one year this month since my debut feature GHOSTS OF THE VOID was released.

Still feel there’s an audience out there who might appreciate it but who hasn’t crossed paths with it yet. Give it a try on Tubi (link in bio).

“Boasting a coveted 100% Rotten Tomatoes score, Ghosts of the Void is still an overlooked addition to the home invasion genre that also explores the fragility of the human mind and human relationships.”

It’s only overlooked if you don’t watch it—Ghosts of the Void is available to stream on tubi!

This Horror Movie With 100% on Rotten Tomatoes Is an Unflinching Psychological Terror

This isn't your typical home invasion horror movie.
