Horror Highlights from the 2026 Overlook Film Festival The horror-centric fest featured a mix of big releases, streaming offerings and hidden gems looking for distribution.

Thank you Richard Newby of the @thr.com! "Boorman and the Devil is ultimately inspirational, and a call for filmmakers to worry less about providing a perfect product, and instead focus on inventiveness and belief in the story they really want to tell."

this is like an SNL piece but without the jokes

I would like a prescription for this drug

BOORMAN AND THE DEVIL will be coming to the Seattle International Film Festival in May!!

I wish the film didn't want to be HEAT quite so much. Also BLACKHAT > CRIME 101. But it's still good, mostly due to the performances and especially Berry in a role that could have easily been a cliche but she made it real.

Eye for Film’s Jennie Kermode has a typically lovely review of @davidkittredge.bsky.social’s BOORMAN AND THE DEVIL.

who on earth would shame you for loving that video?? it's definitively a classic and totally holds up. it also changed music videos forever. it's like saying "don't shame me for liking WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT"

In filmmaking, it starts with the worst part (writing), proceeds to the second worst part (production), then gets to the fun parts (editing, mix, postproduction) and by the time it's playing in front of people you've forgotten how indescribably awful that blank blinking cursor was.

Some of the best films take a second or third viewing to really appreciate. There are filmmakers that this is particularly true of-- PTA is one, Kubrick, Altman, Haynes, Kurosawa, many others. These are the films that have deep subtextual stuff going on.

Jesus Christ who are these people

It's his most underrated and underappreciated, and absolutely one of his best.

Caveat: I literally have no idea what Phil was posting about.

SO thrilled to announce that BOORMAN AND THE DEVIL is coming to the @overlookfilmfest.bsky.social this April in New Orleans!!! Cannot wait to go!!

SO THRILLED to have been a part of this!!!

well people better have some speeeeeeeeeeeeed to get those last tix

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Part 2 of the interview with Jamie Kermode about BOORMAN AND THE DEVIL, taking big creative swings, and why I think Boorman needed to go through the hell of EXORCIST II: THE HERETIC and its reception in order to make EXCALIBUR as amazing as it is.

Had a wonderful chat with Jamie Kermode of Eye On Film about BOORMAN AND THE DEVIL, the genius of John Boorman and the huge creative swings of EXORCIST II: THE HERETIC.
