I dearly love this dumbass movie.

Christian Petzold did a pretty good remake of this called Yella. It’s not really horror, though, more like surreal psychological thriller. Less liminal than the original.

I just watched She-Wolf aka Wilczyca (1983) which was …fine. I don’t like it when they kill a dog as a proverbial appetizer before the human main course, though. You gotta earn that shit, like The Thing or Chernobyl.

Also just got recommended Ruben Galindo, Jr.’s movies and checked out Grave Robbers (1989), which was pretty fun. Lapsed Catholics should enjoy it.

The guy's face is one of the things I can't remember.

Caught Benson & Moorhead's new flick Something in the Dirt a few nights back. Thought it was just OK. I'm still on board with their trip and the dominant theme - which I've yet to fully grasp - running through all of their films, but SitD felt a little off. More comedic which is fine, I guess, but ultimately unrewarding in the grand scale of the universe they are building. They have great chemistry, though, and I love watching them play off of each other.

It's on the list, but spookiness gets top priority and I fear there is nothing close to spooky therein.

this short is kinda cool.

Night Of the Creeps. Yes that is Stan Ridgeway playing in the background. Tom Atkins, a rich man's Tim Thomerson.

Skinamarink. Saw it last night with my son at the Music Box, but I think it’s also streaming on Shudder.

Terrifying. Unlike anything I’ve ever seen.

I know nothing about this, but had a big discussion last week Re: why cinema is finding it harder and harder to be scary. Pulling this one in then, and hoping for plenty.

For the first thirty or forty minutes, it might just seem like a collection of eerie images and sounds, but stick with it.

Really nice to see a Seed and Spark feature, but I'd rather have the 100 minutes back. No doubt there's an audience for it though. More power to the lad.

Tried to go see this Saturday night at my local independent cinema, where it's only playing one weekend.

The people in front of me got the last two tickets.

Without spoilers, would you say there is some resolution or explanation or some kind of conclusion that is at least partially satisfying?
