If you needed any more reasons to love @overlookfilmfest.bsky.social, “The Hell of It” from PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE is part of the pre-show music. 🥰

#NowSeated for #DemonKnight at @overlookfilmfest.bsky.social and Ernest Dickerson is in the house!!!!

Normal People: Oh man, its raining! New Orleanians going about their day regardless:

“If you see any teens milling about the theater - buy them a ticket” “They’re your kids now!” CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD Director and Author Eli Craig and Adam Cesar’s on adapting a teen novel into an R-rated film

The slasher renaissance continues with CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD, a highly satisfying endeavor that doesn’t skimp on laughs or refreshingly graphic kills. Like director Eli Craig’s TUCKER & DALE VS EVIL, I suspect a high rewatch value.

Official PSA: CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD fucking rules #overlookfilmfestival
