As a devout champion of HYPOCHONDRIAC I am thrilled to announce it is finally getting a physical release in the UK alongside Addison Heimann's latest gen TOUCH ME. It was an absolute dream to write the booklet for this one. amzn.eu/d/0caFYKRx
My contributor copy of @arrowvideo.bsky.social's HUESERA has arrived and it is beautiful. Available in shops now.
Excellent Friday night spent rewatching PILLION with a Skarsgård in attendance at the Q&A
Spent last night watching THE TERMINATOR with a live score and it was perfect.
Last night I should have been recovering from Celluloid Screams, instead, I went to an early screening of PREDATOR: BADLANDS a film which is the porgification of the Predator franchise. Still, the after party was super fun.
It is officially October so here are some genre film recs from me. How many have you seen?
New release news: I have a video essay in the newly announced @secondsightfilms.bsky.social release of MaXXXine. The depiction of the drive for fame in film is a favourite theme of mine so digging into Maxine's desire was a lot of fun. Pre-order now: secondsightfilms.co.uk/products/max...
Lots of fun tonight at an early screening of THE MAN IN MY BASEMENT. Dafoe! Corey Hawkins and two former Cineworld Nottingham employees reuniting.
Been logging movies since way before @letterboxd.social and yep teen me LOVED herself some THE LOST BOYS (and Keanu)
In terms of moderating, I have hosted several films at FrightFest including this year's REDUX REDUX and MOTHER OF FLIES screenings as well as the Halloween events screening of MAGPIE. I also hosted the UK premiere of TERRIFIER 3 for @signatureuk.bsky.social
I have experience writing both written and audio essays for the likes of @secondsightfilms.bsky.social and @arrowvideo.bsky.social with titles including THE LAST STOP IN YUMA COUNTY, IT FOLLOWS, TALK TO ME and HELLBENDER
Still struggling post @frightfest.bsky.social - apparently 7 hours sleep across 5 days isn't good for you - but I had a blast and would happily have the last weekend as my time loop movie setting. I was honoured to be able to host several films, thanks to the fest and filmmakers for the trust.
Watching COME TRUE for the billionth time and once more keeping everything crossed that it'll one day play at the @princecharlescinema.com
Looking forward to catching this one. BORDERLINE on digital in the UK 8th September
My contributor copy of PERPETRATOR arrived today and it is so pretty. It's out on Monday via @arrowvideo.bsky.social
Get this date in your diaries. GOOD BOY is one of my favourites of the year!
