It Follows (2014) Dir. David Robert Mitchell
“I think that if one is faced with inevitable destruction, if a house is falling upon you, for instance, one must feel a great longing to sit down, close one’s eyes, and wait, come what may.”
This hold up magnificently.

Lurker (2025) Dir. Alex Russel
“I’m not gonna take it away, sweet boy.”
This is the worst of LA. Starfuckers all the way down.
The slow tension is great. Nearly as anxiety inducing as Uncut Gems. The 16mm film is gorgeous. It’s refreshing to see an LA depicted with the color sucked out of it.

Dead and Buried (1981) Dir. Gary Sherman
“You can try to kill me, Dan. But you can't. You can only make me dead.”
Slept on this waaaay too long. A quaint New England town with dark secrets that feels like Lovecraft and Stephen King vibes yanks my chain so hard my heads gonna fall off.

Bring Her Back (2025)
A relentlessly manipulative and oppressive movie that seems to exist more to as interconnected setups for shocking cruelty rather than offering anything compelling or thoughtful.
Also that century gothic font looks like ass and I hate it.

Really thoughtful coming of age narrative. It's fuckin messy out there, and we have to learn to leave our islands to make any progress. There are no set rules. It's okay to leave. You can join the Scottish power rangers and it can kick ass.

Unworthy gets cults right. Our protagonist has lost the ability to recall her past because the language she uses to understand her world has been taken and the simple acts of defiance by Lucia awakens her and allows her to regain her power and individuality. That’s the power of love baby. 8/10

The Devil Takes You Home (2022) Auth. Gabino Iglesias
Some mix between Sicario, Dashiell Hammett, Robert Rodriguez, and Nic Pizzolato. Late to the party. My reading schedule knows no structure.
The violence is something else. Lots of exploding heads and split open abdomen.

The Mist is one of the very best King adaptations, ending and all. If you can, seek out the black and white version. It helps with some of the dodgier CGI and is just overall a better (and i'd say truer to the novella in vibe) experience.
It’s gonna be a feel bad Sunday. Now watching The Mist (2007). I’ve never seen it, but I know all about it, including the ending 📽️ #filmsky #horrorsky

“You have to applaud. The rustling voice again, which whispers to me from inside my own skull. As perhaps it has all along. It's only polite. My hands slap together limply, again and again and again, yet I can no longer feel them move.”

The music and cinematography are great, very lush and stylized, even the maggot ridden corpses. We really came from blurring out bulges to zooming into cocks and asses in 4k. I love cinema.

Really solid collection of shorts, well curated. Nothing feels repetitive but it all feels on theme. The theme? All the ways our oopy goopy bodies betray us, or vice versa.
Endless Wound is an easy favorite.

“socially constructed barriers, become real through their institutionalization within the organization’s mandates.”
This is the kinda shit that would make Kafka blush.
This was great and will lead to poor performance at work.

There’s a scene midway through that touches on the importance of music as culture and freedom, that might be one of the best sequences I’ve seen in a long time. Jaw on the floor type shit.

The Monkey has a bit more weirdo panache thanks to Oz, but otherwise this is the only logical conclusion.
You'll probably like The Monkey if you enjoy the Final Destination movies. Very similar vibes.
