31 Days of Horror: Dashcam Shit from a butt

31 Days of Horror: Save the Green Planet! Less than the sum of its parts

Day 11: Save the Green Planet!, which is tragically less than the sum of its parts for me rorschachisgay.substack.com/p/31-days-of...

31 Days of Horror: The Blair Witch Project What do you say about a film everyone already has a take on?

31 Days of Horror: The Blair Witch Project, a movie I love that makes me really sad. A lot of people don't like it and I try to think about why. substack.com/home/post/p-...

31 Days of Horror: Edge of Sanity Jekyll and fucking Hyde

31 Days of Horror: Edge of Sanity. an incredibly sleazy and sexualized giallo take on Jekyll and Hyde that is the exact kind of shit i love rorschachisgay.substack.com/p/31-days-of...

Day 31: R-Point A hidden gem about Korea's involvement in the Vietnam War, and the virtue of buying old random DVDs you find

31 Days of Horror: The Collector (1965) Not a love story

31 Days of Horror: The Collector (1965)
a surprisingly nuanced and beautiful looking movie about how you'll never win against a man who's setting the rules

substack.com/home/post/p-...

yeah i felt like i had to... theres two men who die in the film and they die off screen. I feel like if I had more time I could have dug deeper into it but i think it comes back to my conclusion about the film being oblivious to the cycle it's part of

thank youuu yes i agree! like despite it being intended for a full theatrical release the slight illegality of how it felt for so long made the shoddiness of it feel almost intentional. it being on Amazon Prime somewhat dulls that

31 Days of Horror: Patrick Traversing into Ozploitation

31 Days of Horror: Patrick
a film i wanted to like, didn't, that made me think about disability rights more than it probably wanted me to

BLUSH it's a crazy fucking movie but i think the visuals alone are so effective. love it

31 Days of Horror: Possum A film about pain

31 Days of Horror: Possum

A film I love that is a deeply tormented, dark story about abuse rorschachisgay.substack.com/p/31-days-of...

31 Days of Horror: The Curse of Frankenstein I try, once again, to like a Hammer Horror film.

31 Days of Horror: The Curse of Frankenstein

I tried again to like a Hammer Horror film, but found instead a strangely dry take on the novel with very little monster or humanity in it

31 Days of Horror: Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker

One-take wonders: How ‘The Studio’, ‘Adolescence,’ ‘The Pitt’ created movie-like magic Once an occasional big-screen feat steered by the legendary likes of Alfred Hitchcock, Orson Welles, and Paul Thomas Anderson, long takes — aka one-shots or “oners” — are now a staple of prestige e…

I was interested in the immersive use of camera and continuous takes in THE STUDIO, ADOLESCENCE, and THE PITT. So I interviewed their DPs Adam Newport-Berra, Matthew Lewis, and Johanna Coelho, for GoldDerby. www.goldderby.com/article/2025...

A picture of three models, smiling and posing with a variety of merchandise promoting HELLRAISER. There’s everything from t-shirts and jackets to mugs and duffel bags with the HELLRAISER logo, and Pinhead’s face printed onto them.

What if we kissed at the HELLRAISER merch photo shoot?
