Sitting down with an ice cold glass of Nuka Cola Quantum as I start my most anticipated show of the year

Thanks so much to @bloody-disgusting.com for the writeup on The Victor Initiative! Chapter 5 is right around the corner and I can't wait to reveal what's in store! #horror #horrorgame #gaming

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing. All from his movies.

Silent Hill f, Look Outside and The Midnight Walk all deservedly picked up trophies at tonight’s #HorrorGameAwards, which was a fantastic celebration of the art form’s best and bloodiest outings from the past year (with some great teasers for what’s to come in 2026) @horrorgameawards.bsky.social

Just saw Murnau’s Nosferstu as nature intended: with live musical accompaniment! The pitch perfect score by @seagreenmusic.bsky.social really made this 100+ years old film feel modern and dynamic again. Got distinct John Carpenter vibes (and I mean that as a high compliment)

"If you’re in that niche target audience of people who like survival horror, meaty brainteasers, classic Disney animation or preferably all three, then this is one twisted fairytale that you won’t wanna miss," @harrisonabbott.bsky.social writes in his 4-star review of BYE SWEET CAROLE:

Like RE:7, Silent Hill f feels authentic to its roots but also completely fresh & exciting. It captures the essence of the series without getting bogged down in the past and has become one of my favouritie entires as a result. My review @bloody-disgusting.com bloody-disgusting.com/video-games/...

The Long Walk starts as a tense, brutal thriller in the vein of King’s celebrated horror works, before then turning into a moving exploration of friendship and the struggle to cling onto hope in the darkest of times (recalling the big beating heart of Shawshank). My Letterboxd review:

Ahead of Gamescom I sat down with @illfonic.bsky.social to learn more their vision for Halloween: The Game, the extent of John Carpenter's involvement in the project, how they're planning to shake up the asymmetrical foruma, and their first proper stab at a solo campaign. Read the inside scoop here!

Monster Island (2025) - Movie Review www.flickeringmyth.com/movie-review...

Monster Island's press notes cite a number of key influences, ranging from Malay folklore to Creature from the Black Lagoon. What they fail to mention, however, is that this is really just a (well made) Predator clone. My review for @flickeringmyth.bsky.social www.flickeringmyth.com/movie-review...

‪From indie debuts to AAA heavyweights and nostalgic revisits of some genre classic, @baronaim.bsky.social and I have rounded up the very best horor games of 2025 so far. Check out our list at @bloody-disgusting.com

I have a hot take, which is that System Shock 2 is actually pretty good. Read my radical opinions over at @bloody-disgusting.com, as I review the game’s new 25th Anniversary remaster bloody-disgusting.com/video-games/...

Been a long week, but Godzilla will make it better #NowWatching

My version of Blade Runner is that I use lots of em-dashes in my writing and this could mean that I am an AI

In terms of horror game adaptations released within the last month, Until Dawn is certainly no Last of Us but it's not Home Sweet Home: Rebirth either. It at least understands the spirit of its source material, and relishes in the practical gore effects My review on Letterboxd boxd.it/9xypMh

I've been broadly positive about The Last of Us' TV adaptation so far, but have always had one persisting quibble that the world felt way too safe and lacking in peril (in turn, robbing Joel's big choice of some of its significance). Tonight's episode addressed that criticism in a big way. Loved it

The Flayed Man is quick, bitesized little freebie of a game that manages to cram a lot of depth and clever puzzles into its short runtime. If you've got an hour to spare, you should definitely check it out. My review for @Bloody-disgusting.com bloody-disgusting.com/video-games/...

So I've started a new job. I'm the editor for @epicrpgtales.bsky.social, a new website dedicated to RPGs and the fantasy genre in general. I'm excited to help build a gaming site from the start. I thought i'd break the ice by sharing a few of my favorite RPGs from over the years.

For last week's episode of @saferoompod.bsky.social , @nezzko.bsky.social and I shared our wishlists for games that we think deserve the remake/remaster treatment! @bloody-disgusting.com @bloodyfm.bsky.social 🍎 apple.co/4hJc1Vv 🟢 open.spotify.com/episode/6Aaa

Silent Hill f appears to offer something new in the popular video game franchise. Here are six interesting details that we learned about it from the latest Silent Hill Transmission:

Never saw Coda but: 1) Oppenheimer 2) The Shape of Water 3) Parasite 4) Anora 5) Nomadland 6) Moonlight 7) Green Book 8) Spotlight 9) Everything Everywhere All At Once

Only time will tell if last night’s defeat fully Bradley Cooperizes Timothée Chalamet. He might very well spend the next three years learning to code for a Bill Gates biopic that requires eight hours of hair and makeup per day.

There's this weird "The Academy only likes young women" narrative popping up suddenly and it's very much not true if you look over the actress winners of the last 15 years. Meryl, Michelle Yeoh, Jamie Lee Curtis, Frances McDormand, Renee Zellweger, Yuh-jung Youn, Allison Janney

This doesn't take into consideration the egregious absence Tony Todd.

i think i agree with all of these, but definitely Hugh Grant in Heretic, a very different role for him that he did so well

It's weird how much better this version or Defying Gravity is because they're not constantly stopping and starting it like they do in the actual film

Horror has done pretty well for itself at this years Oscars but, with just a few hours to go until the ceremony starts, I've highlighted a few opportunities the academy has missed to celebrate the genre even further. My latest for @bloody-disgusting.com bloody-disgusting.com/editorials/3...

Contender for the 6 best words in the English language

Resident Evil 4 without question. To the point where it's just become an impulse when I see it on a storefront

Having second thoughts about giving my next game the subtitle, "Brilliant, World-Changing & Flawless" (those are the names of the 3 main characters, so you can see how we got there)

The new retro poster for THE MONKEY is, as Stephen King puts it, "Pretty f*cking funny."

This may sound primitive and unscientific, but through the fairies, we COULD ask Mothra for help

For this week's @saferoompod.bsky.social , @nezzko.bsky.social and I chatted about @nightdivestudios.bsky.social The Thing: Remastered, one of the most faithful movie tie-in games ever made. 🍎 apple.co/42o0cjo 🟢 open.spotify.com/episode/2cAN...

I actually liked Leigh Whannell's Wolf Man and that's a hill I'm willing to die on. For more of objectively stupid film opinions, follow me on Letterboxd boxd.it/8D5e21

The loading screen tip that greets you upon booting up Dreamcore advises that patience is "key" when playing this game. Truer words have surely never been spoken. My review for @bloody-disgusting.com bloody-disgusting.com/video-games/...

What a ridiculous figure Robert Eggers is, making a series of beautiful, confrontationally uncompromising films about subjects in which he is deeply interested. Let's get him

The real reason for the Netflix price hike is clearly to pay for the Emilia Perez Oscars campaign.

THE SUBSTANCE has received a handful of nominations for this year's Oscars, including Best Director - Coralie Fargeat, Best Actress in a Leading Role - Demi Moore, and the big one... Best Picture!

Fresh off directing Nosferatu for Focus Features, director Robert Eggers is re-teaming with Focus on WERWULF, a 13th century werewolf horror movie that Eggers co-wrote and will be directing. It's set for theatrical release on Christmas Day 2026. bloody-disgusting.com/movie/385163...

Finally caught up with Heretic and, as someone who will never let others leave a conversation until they either agree with me or suffer for failing to, I found it incredibly relatable

It was a delight to revisit one of my all-time favorites, Princess Mononoke, which remains as stunning as when I was a kid. An angry as hell fantasy epic with body and eco-horror notes emphasizing man's desecration of the planet. Simply magical.

Nosferatu (2024)

I really dug Nosferatu (an absolutely gorgeous production on every level and I always appreciate Egger's ear for old timey dialogue) but, at the same time there are moments sprinkled throughout that are quite What We Do In The Shadows esque

Yep, Nosferatu was good. Such a blessing to have a modern horror film use the dark with more intent than hiding limitations or for jump scares.

Nice bloody-disgusting.com/video-games/...

My latest @bloody-disgusting.com piece looks ahead to what the next 12 months have in store. From explosive garden gnomes to secretive collabs between acclaimed auteurs and a title made entirely out of clay; here are my most anticipated horror games of 2025! bloody-disgusting.com/video-games/...
