Lots of fun choices on the big screen this weekend: columbusunderground.com/big-valentin...

“If you have any interest in British folk horror, The Last Sacrifice is a fascinating must-watch.” On Shudder this week:

Sweetness review: Music video director Emma Higgins serves Gen-Z Misery with a pop star twist. Kate Hallett is heartbreakingly unhinged. Parasocial horror done right. 🖤 #SweetnessMovie #Horror @maddwolfcolumbus.bsky.social gnofhorror.com/sweetness-re...

Congress has a critical government funding deadline on January 30th. It’s up to them to use it for good. Send an email to demand accountability and oppose additional funding for DHS without safeguards that rein in ICE’s violence and lawlessness: act.standupamerica.com/letters/lett...

Nine flicks to break down this week…join us:

It just occurred to me to suggest an author to you who happens to be a buddy of mine. Hope knows her stuff when it comes to horror! bsky.app/profile/madd...

“Director Ehrland Hollingsworth is new to horror, but I think he has a new home in the horror community, and I cannot wait to see how audiences respond to this movie. I feel like part of a secret club after being able to see Dooba Dooba and I’m ready to talk about it with the world.”

The Testament of Ann Lee “is a passionate, bold film about building community, finding and remaining true to yourself, and the unrivaled power of dancing.”

“It is a unique and well-crafted film, but the honesty of H Is for Hawk is just spread too thin for a truly memorable flight.” Our take:

Warning #MarriedDateNight is on tonight, I find myself w/ @oscmy333.bsky.social back at @gatewayfilmcenter.bsky.social (our fave cinema) for #TheSecretAgent 2025 from Brazil, rumor is it’s gonna get a #OSCARNom but we’ll find out for sure tomorrow! Now it’s #MovieTime

New review up for Fabrice du Welz’s ‘Maldoror.’ A true crime pivot for the horror director, based on the Dutroux case. Strong performances meet a narrative swerve that doesn’t quite work. Full thoughts: gnofhorror.com/maldoror-rev... @maddwolfcolumbus.bsky.social

Chimp mad. Kids dead. 🐒 Our new piece reviews the brutal horror flick "Primate". Fun fact: I have had the rabies vaccine. gnofhorror.com/primate-revi... @maddwolfcolumbus.bsky.social

This movie is a fucking masterpiece

If you missed the post-apocalyptic thriller 40 ACRES last year, it's screening at #theWex on Thurs, Jan 22 as part of this year's Sonnets & Cinema series. The film is preceded by new work by Columbus poets Aaron Alsop and series organizer @scottwoods.bsky.social! #poetry wexarts.org/film-video/4...

In Cold Light is “a more than solid thriller and another impressive turn from Maika Monroe.” Our review:

A busy 1st day of a short Work Week but I did get to relax some & listened to the new @favefivefromfans.bsky.social direct from #PlasticMicrophoneStudio on Fave #BruceWillisRoles so many good roles (love that #Moonlighting got mentioned) I will also admit a love of both #MoonRiseKingdom & #SinCity

Ahh cold winter weather today so a good day to stay in & make a good meal! So time for A pot roast, homemade bread, & some Guniesss Cake, a good winter meal!

If you thought 28 Years Later didn’t go hard enough, good news: The Bone Temple delivers the horror goods:

Resurrection comes “from a master technician who is practically demanding that you see this on a big screen, with a hushed crowd of strangers, all in agreement that there is still something essential about the power of stories through moving images on a screen.” Matt Weiner has our review:

“with no discernable genre, Night Patrol leaves you a little dizzy.” Our take:

Forget the infected. The real horror in ‘28 Years Later: The Bone Temple’ wears a blond wig. Nia DaCosta delivers a brutal, brilliant middle chapter. Ralph Fiennes and Jack O'Connell are phenomenal. gnofhorror.com/28-years-lat... @28yearslater.bsky.social @maddwolfcolumbus.bsky.social

“The end result is that, though it boasts real tension and great performances, Maldoror feels like a misstep.” Our review:

“OBEX wears its heart on its sleeve as a nostalgic adventure that feels like comfort cinema.” Adam Barney has our review:

So it is a wild & crazy Week for @oscmy333.bsky.social & I, we have found ourselves back at @gatewayfilmcenter.bsky.social (our fave place) to see #MartySupreme I always like films done by the Safdie brothers (please see “Good Time” 2017 all) so let’s check this film out! #FilmFam #EveryoneIsFam

So back at @gatewayfilmcenter.bsky.social for another movie w/ @oscmy333.bsky.social so gotta see #SentimetalValue been hearing good things plus #StellanSkarsgard is always a plus.

Just back from @frightclub.bsky.social #Live always fun to watch a film w/ a crowd & #TheWolfHouse is film that has so many little details to discover, plus a great short #TheParallesOfLoneliness really fun watches. Thank you to @maddwolf & @gatewayfilmcenter.bsky.social for hosting a great viewing

#HorrorFam #MutantFam #AllAreFam if U are near #ColumbusOH & want to get out & enjoy the warm January eve well come out to @frightclub.bsky.social #Live at the @gatewayfilmcenter.bsky.social at 9pm for a showing of #TheWolfHouse (18) & @maddwolfcolumbus.bsky.social talking #FaveNewSpanishHorror

Okay watched #Hamnet I think it is just an okay film, good not great. I might be the lone person saying it was hard to ID w/ the main characters. Gorgeous cinematography & technical items make the film feel great but the film never connected w/ me as an audience member 6.5⭐️out of 10⭐️ boxd.it/cxadbp

The #GastroHorror Guide is up to date and back as my main pin! If there is a list you'd like me to tackle or a film I should add to an existing list, feel free to let me know! #HorrorSky #FilmSky gastrohorror.info

Daisy Ridley stars in a zombie flick that's less about scares, more about quiet drama in a poisoned Tasmania. A fresh, if flawed, undead entry. Full review: gnofhorror.com/we-bury-the-... @maddwolfcolumbus.bsky.social

Primate: “Gordy Meets Cujo delivers exactly what you should expect: jump scares, cliché, young adults behaving stupidly, and plenty of blood.”

I watched two brilliant films this weekend, It Ends and The Beldham. I also watched Anaconda 2025, well if you want to know exactly what I thought about this film, read my review and @maddwolfcolumbus.bsky.social 's slightly more measured review here gnofhorror.com/anaconda-202...

@frightclub.bsky.social Fright of the Day:

Is This Thing On? “is a unique beast, natural and messy but still totally sold on love.” We dug it:

“Kristen Stewart’s touch is lyrical, offsetting the brutality of the film’s content with images that are delicately wondrous, contradictorily peaceful, sometimes even lightly but discordantly funny.” Our take on The Chronology of Water:

Wow! Thank you Austin Revolution for honoring our new short film Drunkula with 6 nominations: Donovan Riley Wolfington & Jason Tostevin for Best Actor, George & Hope for Directing Duo, Hope for Female Filmmaker of the Year, and the film for Best Short-Genre and Best Produced US Short Script! Wow!

Great ink by @maddwolfcolumbus.bsky.social in @colsunderground.bsky.social about Sonnets & Cinema at #theWex beginning Jan 15. Now in its 3rd year, the series is organized by Streetlight Guild founder @scottwoods.bsky.social and pairs films with new work by Columbus poets commissioned by the Wex.

So post Holidays so @oscmy333.bsky.social & I can resume our fun evening together w/ #Film so tonight we’re hitting our favorite theater! @gatewayfilmcenter.bsky.social for #DateNight We’re finally seeing #Hamnet Heard it’s good but U might want tissues ready.Let’s see if it’s true! #HeyGateway

After a few days in the #Wild & the starting the New Year this week w/ a #VisuallyStikingStopMotion near #ColumbusOH come watch #WolfHouse (2018) Friday 1/9/26 at @gatewayfilmcenter.bsky.social 9pm part of @frightclub.bsky.social #Live w/ @maddwolfcolumbus.bsky.social talking #FaveNewSpanishHorror

Just watched #DianeWarrenRelentless A surprisingly good documentary it captures the frenetic energy & Steely determination which is needed to become a successful artist, & gives what feels a full glympse into a complicated & real complex person & artist, a fun watch 7.5⭐️out of 10⭐️ boxd.it/cqmyHn
