My guy @kylegallner.bsky.social going full Hitcher on this one, a bromance, a hell-ride to mutually assured destruction based on society's crappy foundations and thinking too much about shit that happened when you were a kid. Stand up, do anything, even if it's the wrong thing.

A crack in the foundation of your world and what eeriness, dread, fear floods through? There's no respite in beautiful Venice, w your lovely wife (despite a VERY passionate night), cause you're sinking, you're drowning, infected w death. A whole film as a denouement to a dad's worst moment.

Horror fans, what are your best recs for films in the same vein as Dark Skies and The Fourth Kind, i.e., alien encounter/abduction films more horror than sci-fi with a creepy atmosphere, lots of uncanniness, and a heavy dose of conspiracy theories?

People out there talking about hope while selling out our environment and turning their backs on the vulnerable. Shameful, of course, but also just pure loser shit. A stain of unlovability that will stay with them until they die with the rest of us.

THEY’RE HERE: HAUNTING, INHERITANCE, AND THE FRAGILE AMERICAN FAMILY IN ‘POLTERGEIST’
The Freelings think their nightmare begins in a haunted house. It begins with what the house was built on, and what their family refuses to face.

This is also, to this day, how almost all Canadian films are made.
Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

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!★★★★

Mileage will vary, but I liked it, because Indy is a very good boy: make a boring-ass haunting story new by committing to the perspective (no expo dump, whooo!), then getting surreal and effectively scary in the back half. Some doggo betrayal (and cold treatment) keep the feels up.

Two recent Tynion (and a ton of others) GNs. Exquisite Corpses is like 'Purge x Ahnold Running Man' so mostly fancy killers + victims, but it's got potential. Let this One be a Devil is a cool historical look at the Jersey Devil, kinda overlapping meta/folk tales, neat approach, done in one book.

imo, there's no 'elevated horror' of the 2010s without this bleak monster ruining the contest before it's begun. Unrepentantly bleak on all levels, unreal ache from Maskall, Smiley, Buring (unsung scream queen), tactile violence (hammer time), an ending that slams your fingers in the door.
