"A metafictional mind-melter where time means nothing and everything at once, Joe Butler’s third novel blends visual elements, epistolary sections, and cyclical narratives to plumb the depths of loss of grief of horror."

Cult Control and Mental Collapse: Dirty Boy Delivers a Folk-Horror Mind Trip - REVIEW – DIRTY BOY Dirty Boy pulls us into cult life through the fractured mind of a schizophrenic teen. Disorienting and unflinching. 3.5/5 from HMU.

Cult life, schizophrenia, and failed escapes. Doug Rao’s Dirty Boy is a folk-horror gut punch told through an unstable lens. UK release next week. 3.5/5 from HMU.

1966's ''Island Of Terror" - rarely seen, which is odd considering it features the classic combination of Terence Fisher directing Peter Cushing. It's the one where Edward Judd cuts Cushing's hand off. Terrible likeness of Peter on the Blu-ray box.
