Time to give thanks that I’m not a teenager anymore.
THE PLAGUE is the most coolly vicious American horror film in years; it gets under your skin like a mystery infection.
If you like Haneke, Hadzihalilovic, Ducournau, Larry Clark or Charles Burns, be sure to see Charlie Polinger’s superb debut!★★★★

The Plague – Review
Charlie Polinger’s The Plague follows a boys’ water-polo camp where a rumour about illness reshapes the group into insiders and outsiders. A cool, unsettling study of othering, built from sharp obs…

Thank you @andrewpope.bsky.social for this break down. Last year, The Substance was waving the horror banner proudly during award season. We’re hoping it’s a start for the genre to break through the barriers- again (since Get Out).
Horror quietly took over the 2026 Oscars race:
1. SINNERS sits as a broad-spectrum near-lock
2. WEAPONS has a genuine acting shot
3. FRANKENSTEIN is breaking out from its craft base
This might be the broadest horror awards year in decades. Here’s how the odds look.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

Really liked Frankenstein (2025), visually beautiful and great performances. Only major complaint is that it went too far with "Frankenstein was the real monster" and essentially absolves The Creature of any genuine wrongdoing, which screws up some major themes of the novel.

I don't know how to explain it, but there's something profoundly boring about Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein. I'm not even talking about the dumbing down of the novel's moral complexities or anything, I just mean something about the way it looks
