Damn I finished Hollow Knight at the right time! I hope the difficulty curves instead of jumps in Silksong 🤞🏻

BREAKING: Silksong will be out on September 4. Two weeks from today. Really.

Often, games that take 7+ years to make are plagued by mismanagement and painful burnout. But for Silksong? Team Cherry was having a blast. They still are.

This is their story: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
Why ‘Silksong’ Took Seven Years to Make
The highly anticipated indie game has been in production for so long that it’s become an internet meme

Oddity (2024) is a supernatural horror movie with a simple plot (that never slips into cliches) and extremely well-executed tension and scares. It’s creepy and esoteric, with delightful and harrowing patience with its scares.
The movie poster for Oddity (2024) is almost completely dark except for the title. Floating in the dark is a young white woman with platinum-blonde hair in a blue dress with her arms outstretched. Reflected in the exact same pose underneath her is a horrible shadowy puppet-figure with its mouth stretched wide in a scream.

My new Swarmweaver deck made an absolute MOUNTAIN of bugs! First time playing paper Magic in months and months 🥰
Four paper decks for Magic the Gathering lie on a table around a haphazard pile of poorly hand-drawn tokens for food, insects, Daleks, angels, and more. The commanders for the decks are: The Swarmweaver, Licia Sanguine Tribune, Rocco Street Chef, and Narci Fable Singer.

Caveat is a creepy horror movie with a claustrophobic setting that captures the same feeling as a survival horror game. It answers the most pressing elements of its mystery, but leaves the rest up to the audience's imagination after a chilling climax.
The movie poster for Caveat (2020) is entirely black, with the looming face of a ratty bunny-like toy in the bottom right corner. The bunny's eyes are wet and look awfully human. The title of the movie is scratched onto the black background as if with smudged chalk.

Red Rooms (2023) is a horror movie that comments on obsession, true crime, the internet, society, and more. The atmosphere and performances slowly ratchet the tension to unbearable levels. A bleak, multi-faceted, and riveting movie that defies easy answers and begs thought-provoking questions.
The movie poster for Red Rooms (2023) depicts a white woman whose dark hair is partially obscuring her face turning to look at the viewer while a glitching digital effect slightly distorts the rest of the poster. The poster is in black-and-white except for the bold, glowing red letters of the movie's title.

Yesterday I watched all 3 of the 28 /// Later movies! The original is a classic banger, followed by a fun zombie movie but nothing special, and the new one is WEIRD. Still not entirely sure how I feel about it, to be honest. My usual reviews below! I'm very curious to hear what other people think!

Bring Her Back (2025) is an atmospheric supernatural horror movie that grabbed me quickly and held me ruthlessly captive. The filming style and acting is spectacular; I was totally enthralled while the awful horrors of its eerie and occult story unfolded.
The movie poster of Bring Her Back depicts a young boy, his eyes uncanny marbles swirling with blood and other color, looking upwards at someone out of frame. A hand descends from above, putting their thumb on his shaved head such that we can see the chipped purple nail polish on the finger. A halo of smeared blood is behind the boy's head. The image has a very unsettling feeling.

Invasive (2024) is a cat-and-mouse style reverse-home invasion movie with a plot structure and story that will be familiar to horror fans. However, don’t let that dissuade you: Invasive has incredible pacing, protagonists with pathos, and an overall very modern feel that I enjoyed immensely!
The movie poster for Invasive (2024) depicts a close-up on the face of a frightened young Black woman cast partly in shadow. She's looking upward at something out of frame and her brow is furrowed with tension.

Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust (2000) is an animated science fantasy horror movie that is packed to the brim with high-octane action and visually stunning tableaus in a pulpy, enticing post-apocalyptic setting.
The broody, gothic watercolor poster for Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust (2000) is almost entirely black-and-white with little pops of color to emphasize the contrast. It depicts the brooding figure of the titular D, tall and beautiful with pale skin wielding a long sword and wearing his iconic broad-brimmed hat and black cloak. A single cross-shaped tombstone stands in the background and bats flutter in a messy swoop around his head. The "t" in "Vampire Hunter" is stylized as a massive Catholic cross.

Last Night in Soho (2021) is a flashy supernatural horror movie that hardcore genre fans will find somewhat predictable, but it is exciting and stylish. The themes on belonging and nostalgia are a little shallow, but the performances and fantastic and there are some really cool visuals.
The watercolor poster for Last Night in Soho depicts a blonde white woman with bright red lips in a pink jacket looking over her shoulder at the viewer. Emerging from the bright reds to her right is a young man in a suit while the blue on her left feels rainy and drab, capturing a young woman looking shocked as a young man looks on in surprise.

Dead Talents Society (2024) is a vivacious and refreshing horror-comedy. What starts as comedic worldbuilding about the afterlife develops into a grounded examination of family, celebrity, capitalism, and achievement. I highly recommend checking it out while it's on Netflix!
The graphic movie poster for "Dead Talents Society" shows a pale woman in a bloody schoolgirl uniform attempting to raise her arms to "frighten" the viewer, but a passerby's hair is wafting in the way, blocking out her mouth and torso.

Equally confident that Vicar Amelia is going to get my ass like I owe her MONEY.

The Clown in a Cornfield movie didn't really hit for me, so instead of reviewing it I HIGHLY recommend you go pick up the novel! It's by Adam Cesare and is a love letter to slashers that does its own thing w/ a great cast of modern characters. I can't wait to get my hands on the sequel!
The cover of Clown in a Cornfield by Adam Cesare depicts a farm doused in the light of a red moon. The corn rises in the outline of a grinning, malevolent clown's face with a big round nose and expressive eyebrows. It reads "the kids are not all right."

The podcast cover for Arc Three of THE CHAOS PROTOCOL. Against a background of dark, swirling pink, headshot illustrations of Xainan, Lumièra, and Seir all scowling while standing in a triangle from left to right. Xainan is a mixed Asian man with medium brown skin, a black wide-brimmed hat, a thin black necklace with metal cherry blossoms, and a black duster. Lumièra is a Black woman with deep brown skin, white tresses in the back and braids on top and framing her face, and an open black top that reveals a clockwork birthmark on her chest. Seir is a South Asian man with dark brown skin, medium length touseled black hair, and an open shirt revealing muscular pectorals and a thin necklace with a metal crescent moon. Text reads, “The Chaos Protocol.”

1408 (2007) is a psychological horror movie about a writer being tormented by an evil hotel room. It’s a dramatic, entertaining, and VERY Stephen King-y flick that sneaks in some pretty good scares and genuinely creepy moments among its bigger, more emotional themes.
The movie poster for 1408 depicts two men's faces peering out of bloodstained grime, divided in half by an old-fashioned and ominous key emblazoned with the movie's title.

Sinners (2025) is a supernatural action horror movie set in the 1930s American South and packed with gorgeous visuals, fantastic dialogue, and great characters. It is spectacular entertainment from top to bottom and explores themes on belonging, race, music, and more. This was fucking CINEMA!
The movie poster for Sinners depicts an ensemble cast of characters in 1930s garb in various emotional states ranging from calm and serious to laughing and enraged over a burning barn surrounded by dark figures. Above this is a pair of twin brothers, one dressed in a dapper suit and grinning at the viewer, while the other looks stoically down the barrel of a gun. The entire poster is cast in the dark reds, oranges, and yellows of a setting sun.

The Church (1989) is a supernatural horror movie that has a few great ideas and fantastical visuals, but they are buried in a muddy narrative. I really wanted to like this for the physical effects alone, but it had absolutely no stakes and barely any story.
The movie poster for The Church (1989) depicts a gothic cathedral besides skyscrapers, towering over the viewer. Bright light and mist emanates from the church's open doors to silhouette a person. It reads "You haven't got a prayer."
