Like a companion piece to ‘Mean Girls’ in its sharp, often hilarious interrogation of social hierarchies, #SendHelp is a gross-out horror comedy with surprisingly poignant commentary on sexism in the office. Read the article here www.phantasmag.com/articles-1/s...

Endearingly wacky, endlessly amusing, and somehow moving, ‘The Worm’ is a superlative horror comedy short that leaves you wanting more in the best sense #Sundance Read the full review www.phantasmag.com/sundance/the...

At a Sundance screening of a 4K restoration of ‘Saw’, original director James Wan and screenwriter/actor Leigh Whannell revealed that they “love” the queer fan fiction about main characters Adam (Whannell) and Dr. Lawrence (Cary Elwes).

Already picked up by A24, ‘undertone’ is a remarkable debut from director Ian Tuason with the potential to join the likes of ‘Saw’ and ‘The Blair Witch Project’ as a #Sundance horror classic. Read the review at www.phantasmag.com/sundance/und... 📸 Courtesy of Sundance Institute

A daring debut, Vera Miao’s ‘Rock Springs’ is a supremely unsettling historical horror film that experiments with form and a non-linear structure to confront the present with the past #Sundance2026 Read the review www.phantasmag.com/sundance/roc... 📸 Courtesy of Sundance Institute

Devastating and appallingly relevant, Vera Miao’s debut ‘Rock Springs’ is a supremely unsettling ghost story. It’s a horror film that directly engages with the ICE murders #Sundance2026

Boasting a star-studded cast, Cathy Yan’s dark comedy satire ‘The Gallerist’ is a riotous #Sundance highlight buoyed by Natalie Portman’s magnetic high camp performance. Read the review www.phantasmag.com/sundance/the... 📸 Courtesy of Sundance Institute

With superb puppetry and set design, ‘Buddy’ excels in its vivid world-building and mines the horror comedy of its original premise for all its worth. It’s ‘Pee-wee’s Playhouse’ gone wrong. #Sundance2026 Read our review www.phantasmag.com/sundance/bud... 📸 Courtesy of Sundance Institute

With references to Jimmy Savile and the NHS, ‘28 Years Later: The Bone Temple’ is as much a meditation on British culture as it is a zombie film. Read the article at www.phantasmag.com/articles/28-... #28YearsLaterTheBoneTemple #28YearsLater #JimmyCrystal #JackOConnell

While not quite the home run that ‘28 Years Later’ was, ‘The Bone Temple’ is a marvellously offbeat horror film that pushes the zombie genre to new heights. www.phantasmag.com/articles/28-...

‘Sinners’ snubbed for Best Motion Picture (Drama), with ‘Hamnet’ bringing home the award instead #GoldenGlobes

‘Sinners’ star Michael B. Jordan loses Best Actor (Drama) to Wagner Moura, positioning ‘The Secret Agent’ actor as Timothée Chalamet’s closest competition this awards season #goldenglobes

Wanda Sykes accepting the Best Stand-Up Comedy Performance on Ricky Gervais’ behalf: “He would like to thank God and the trans community” #GoldenGlobes

The music came in a little too early for ‘The Secret Agent’ team accepting Best Motion Picture (Non-English Language). There were longer speeches, and it’s curious the foreign film got cut off #goldenglobes

For our money, Ryan Coogler deserves the Best Director award for ‘Sinners’ over Paul Thomas Anderson. PTA is a master, but I think his experience and years of being snubbed, combined with some standard horror prejudice, is swaying voters #GoldenGlobes

Scared that Cinematic and Box Office Achievement will be a consolation prize for ‘Sinners’ at the #GoldenGlobes . But it still has a chance at winning Best Motion Picture (Drama).
