It Follows (2014) d. David Robert Mitchell Inhabits the plaintive spaces of loneliness and alienation. Excellent production design...

Morning sounds 🎶🎵

Battle Royale (2000) d. Kinji Fukasaku Noriko... "I'll love you with all the madness in my soul Oh, someday girl, I don't know when We're gonna get to that place Where we really want to go, and we'll walk in the sun But 'til then, tramps like us Baby, we were born to run." Bruce Springsteen...

Re the film Above the Knee (2024).

Just watched @curzon.com #CurzonCultMember

Above the Knee (2024) d. Viljar Bøe One I missed at FrightFest but now available on VoD. Body dysmorphia results in body horror...

Tickets purchased 😀 @andrewpope.bsky.social billetto.co.uk/e/shoegaze-h...

Excited for this one... billetto.co.uk/e/evening-wi...

Oooh this has got my name written all over it! Will do my best to attend…

Lock Your Door (1949) The Reformation of St Jules (1949) both d. Anthony Gilkison Short films with Algernon Blackwood recounting two of his tales of the uncanny and fantastical. As a young child this book was on my Dad's shelf and I used to scare myself just looking at the author's photo!

I wasn't going to let the need to order from abroad stop me getting my hands on this thing of magnificence! 🖤🖤🖤 @adamsfamfilms.bsky.social

The Beast Must Die (1974) d. Paul Annett Always a pleasure to share Sunday afternoon with the late and great Peter Cushing...

Move heaven and earth to see BULK. Ben and Andy have made something so radically bespoke and lovingly handcrafted that - as darling Paul suggests here - is a direct antidote to every soulless corporate cocksucking prick who announces "I'm going to make a movie with AI!".

Thank you @scifrightspod.bsky.social for taking me back in time to FrightFest 2025. Didn’t see Dog of God or Bone Lake but agree with your other top 5 choices. I would add Blood Shine and Salt Along the Tongue. Great to meet you Dr. Hallam and Liam. Thanks for the treasure! rss.com/podcasts/sci...

Tales from the Void: Plastic Smile (2024) TV Series, Episode 6 d. John Adams, Toby Poser Not strictly an @adamsfamfilms.bsky.social film but of course I had to watch it for a sense of completion! 😊

New episode out now reporting from FrightFest! We give you a rundown on what we saw & some of the recurring themes we noticed (our biggest takeaways: beware of demons, witches and shamans, and always check that you don't double book that Airbnb, folks) rss.com/podcasts/sci...

New phone background! @adamsfamfilms.bsky.social

Ticket purchased! I’m looking forward to being an armchair academic for 2 days. 🤓📝

Finally got my hands on this gorgeous tome by @jaspersharp.bsky.social. Looking forward to exploring its contents…☺️

"Horror has emerged as cinema’s most bankable – and experimental – genre" Henry Wong's deep-dive article for Esquire Magazine is well worth a read, and always interesting to see what our very own @alanfrightfest.bsky.social has to say! www.esquire.com/uk/culture/a... #horror #HorrorCommunity

Halfway to Zen (2016) d. Toby Poser, John Adams This completes my look at @adamsfamfilms.bsky.social early films. That special family dynamic is back and I love it. A film full of heart with great performances all round and a guest performance from Lulu. 'Auf wiedersehen..."

Jan Švankmajer #BOTD bsky.app/profile/grah...

The Shoot (2014) d. John Adams, Toby Poser Big skies and impressive desert scenery are the backdrop for the sophomore film from @adamsfamfilms.bsky.social. The Adams Family DNA is there in the filmmaking but I missed Zelda and Lulu!

My next fix… 🖤

Rumblestrips (2013) d. John Adams, Toby Poser The first full length feature from @adamsfamfilms.bsky.social. I love these folks so much! All the Adams Family energy is here in nascent form, signposting the great things to come. Zelda and Lulu rock!

Egg (2005) d. Yukihiko Tsutsumi Wonderfully bizarre! Thank you #error4444 for releasing this gem and to two of my favourite genre creatives @zobowithashotgun.bsky.social and @blondekwaidan.bsky.social for your excellent contributions to the extras. 🙏

My copy just arrived…
