13 DAYS TILL SUMMER was an engaging home invasion story with some good kills and a very divisive ending (it worked for me). Unfortunately, sounds like it's going to be difficult to see it in the future, based on some Polish bureaucratic bullshit. #FantasticFest @dailydead.bsky.social

GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON'T DIE felt like it was made from two different scripts, one being satire and the other being more pop sci-fi adventure. Lost me in the second half. #FantasticFest @dailydead.bsky.social

Caught NESTING this morning and it was incredible. Story of a young woman navigating postpartum depression while surrounded by unsupported assholes and managing past trauma. Heavy stuff, nightmare moments, but not all dark. Loved it. #FantasticFest @dailydead.bsky.social

S2 of THE CREEP TAPES is solid (the episodes I saw, anyway). It's amazing to watch this series grow and see the creative ideas to stretch and keep it interesting. Can't wait for it to air! #FantasticFest @dailydead.bsky.social

My class may be sold out but there is still time to get tix to this incredible series of films coming to the @thecoolidge.bsky.social starting next week. The education program is also offering lectures on Rope, Ed Wood + an additional 5 week course on Martin Scorsese! coolidge.org/programs/coo...

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER is one of my favs films of the year. @dailydead.bsky.social #FantasticFest

Loved THE RESTORATION AT GREYSON MANOR. There is a shitload going on in this movie, and I loved all of it. Also, Alice Krige being extra spiteful. #FantasticFest dailydead.com/fantastic-fe...

I’m not at going to be at NYCC this year but this exclusive NYCC variant Event Horizon: Dark Descent #1 by Robert Cary will be.

OBSESSION: Hahahaha holy shit. A hopeless romantic's wish turns into a psychotic nightmare about unhealthy obsessions. The monkey's paw backlash keeps snowballing right up to the very last second of a WTF-ery finale. Curry Barker's got a bright future in horror, that's for sure. #FantasticFest

Fantastic Fest 2025 Review: THE RESTORATION AT GRAYSON MANOR Successfully Balances Family Drama and Murderous Hands By @horrorella.bsky.social

Loved BUGONIA. Great performances and a plot that never tips its hand. Jesse Plemons and Emma Stone are evenly matched as two polar opposites. #FantasticFest @dailydead.bsky.social

BUGONIA: A proper Yorgos headtrip until it's not? A sci-fi interrogation piece that's unafraid to battle against conspiracy theorists, yet that ending leaves a sour taste. Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons are fantastic, but the ride goes off the rails in a way I'm still iffy on. #FantasticFest

For @dailydead.bsky.social, I reviewed the Aussie WWII shark flick BEAST OF WAR! "It's a simple formula, but the beast looks excellent, the torn-apart gore is gnarly, and desperation hangs dreadfully thick." I've seen too many indie "Fin Flicks" lately with terrible CG predators. Not here!

For @dailydead.bsky.social, I reviewed Steven Kostanski’s DEATHSTALKER remake. "Fans of fantasy dungeon-crawlers, glorious 80s schlock, and Astron-6’s brand of resourceful independent horror goodness can rejoice!" Bonus points for an original end-credits song from Bear McCreary and ... Slash???

Really loved WHEN WE WERE LIVE. Doc about the history of Austin Public Access TV. Went in kind of expecting a silly clip show and got a beautiful history of a public resource and how it touched many communities through some really trying times. #FantasticFest @dailydead.bsky.social

Das me! THE STRANGERS: CHAPTER 2 is capital-b Bad. It doesn't want to play in the universe it's shackled itself to at all. Its only saving grace is Madelaine Petsch. I love that she's choosing weird projects and she's great here. I just wish she had a better movie to play in. #FantasticFest

Fantastic Fest 2025 Review: THE STRANGERS: CHAPTER 2 Has An Identity Crisis By @thatwitchmia.bsky.social

Okay so the new SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT takes some ginormous swings and....I'm pretty into it. I think I like this bonkers movie. #FantasticFest @dailydead.bsky.social

I absolutely loved BLACK PHONE 2. Strong sequel that blends elements of the first film with some Nightmare on Elm Street. Performances are outstanding and I love the places this story takes us. #FantasticFest via @dailydead.bsky.social dailydead.com/fantastic-fe...

From #FantasticFest - COYOTES could have been a bit tighter, but I had fun with it. I'm always down for a good animal attack flick and this one has some good moments, plus some fun performances. @dailydead.bsky.social dailydead.com/fantastic-fe...

Time to start my #FantasticFest review chain! First up is my PRIMATE review for @dailydead.bsky.social. It's giving Cujo, Halloween, and Jurassic Park ... but with a murderous chimpanzee. A sinfully simple concept, but the kills go HARD and the chimp looks fantastic. Hell yeah.

CRAZY OLD LADY delivers exactly what was advertised. #FantasticFest @dailydead.bsky.social

Fantastic Fest 2025 Review: DEATHSTALKER is a Bloody, Brutal, Full-On Blast By @donatobomb.bsky.social

Okay, I am enjoying this series. CHAPTER 1 was a home invasion, CHAPTER 2 is a survival tale with a bit of mystery thrown in. Madelaine Petsch owns every inch of that screen. #FantasticFest @dailydead.bsky.social

COYOTES is a fun, not too heavy, entertaining film about a family trying to escape the Hollywood Hills and some very pissed off wildlife. #FantasticFest @dailydead.bsky.social

Fantastic Fest 2025 Review: PRIMATE is a Vicious Chimp Creature Feature By @donatobomb.bsky.social

Still sorting through my thoughts on VICIOUS. There's a lot to like there, and Dakota Fanning delivers a hell of a performance. Not quite sure it sticks the landing, but it's got some great moments. #FantasticFest @dailydead.bsky.social

Since it just screened at #FantasticFest here's my review of MOTHER OF FLIES from Fantasia. Another absolutely beautiful, witchy as fuck film from @adamsfamfilms.bsky.social. @dailydead.bsky.social dailydead.com/fantasia-202...

THE EVIL THAT BINDS US is a slow burn thriller that amps up the tension as it slowly unfurls a family mystery. #FantasticFest @dailydead.bsky.social

PRIMATE: What if Cujo and Halloween but a chimpanzee? Hell yeah. It's absurdly simple, and the kills are ruthless. Johannes Roberts' no-frills creature feature is tense as hell, and the chimp SFX are A+. Not much to it—chimp stalks and slaughters characters—but I had a blast. #FantasticFest
