The most important thing in writing is to finish. A finished thing can be fixed. A finished thing can be published. A finished thing can be made into a movie.

An unfinished thing is just a dream. And dreams fade if you don't hold on tight enough.

So finish the thing.
ALPHA GANG. It’s like a Wes Anderson movie as if directed by Quentin Dupieux that turns into a Peckinpah movie. Tonally BONKERS and NOT for everyone. But it was for me. By the time the Nietzer Ebb needle drop happens, I was in love. Full of heart and culty weirdness. Gonna be divisive, but great.

GODMOTHER. Rad desert folk horror. Riley Dandy shines as a hot mess you would absolutely let ruin your life. And Bruce Davison and Dee Wallace give absolutely unhinged performances. A must see for folk horror fans.

Jessica Rothe has been in three FF films this year and crushed it in all of them. Also, just a beautiful human. Everything you want her to be. If you’re not a fan yet, you will be shortly.

This has been the best Fantastic Fest in years. So many great films. I’ve already seen 3 of my favorite movies of the year and we still have four days left to go!

Watching all these movies with Jess and 2000 of my closest friends is always my favorite week of the year, but this year is special.

PATHETIC FALLACY is Adam Egypt Mortimer’s best film by a country mile. It’s got a Panos Cosmatos look and feel, but a huge emotional heart that wrecked me. Kid Cudi is amazing as the lead and editing by @veradrew22.bsky.social gives it a dreamy unearthly feel. A great fucking movie. LOVED IT!

IN A VIOLENT NATURE 2 fucking rips. Where the first film follows “Jason” this one follows “Tommy”. It’s a fun, fantastic, tight camp slasher. Lots of great kills and is a worthy successor to the original. Its different enough that if the first one didn’t work for you, this one might.

PRIMETIME. Holy fucking shit. Two days ago I believed Malkovich had the Oscar in the bag. Now it’s a two horse race. Pattinson is incredible. Best of his career great. An unbelievably great movie that will garner nonstop awards talk. One of the best movies I’ve seen all year. So fucking good.

A PRAYER FOR THE DYING. Bleak, depressing, heartbreaking, and possibly the best representation of what it is to be a husband I’ve ever seen. Incredible performances. Expect this to play the Cinematech’s Bleak Week every five years or so. A great heartbreaker.

RIVER. All the buzz is right. A stripped down, gnarly slasher that delivers everything promised on the label. A family gets stranded on a river and gets chased by a mask wearing maniac. Beautifully shot, very well acted, tense, terrifying, and fun! Just fucking great.

Mother. Fucking. HALF. The best Indian action film since RRR. When a brother and sister who are half vampires get robbed and murdered by a band of thugs, they rise from the grave for very bloody revenge with fights from the choreographer of NIGHT COMES FOR US. Most fun I’ve had at a movie all year!

If we get a movie better than WILD HORSE NINE this year, we shall truly be blessed. Laughed. Cried. Marveled. A perfect film. Expect everyone you know to not shut the fuck up about it.

BEWARE BOIUNA is really fun. When a ship full of doctors runs afoul of some nasty dudes, it causes a chase down the river through the jungle. But the goddess of the jungle, a massive, deadly snake, has other plans for everyone. Eating them. Her plan is eating them. Great pissed off nature flick!

Yep. RESIDENT EVIL is as good as you hear. Not what I expected. Smaller, more contained, but by far the best of the series, by a country mile. What if a glorified DoorDash driver wandered into Raccoon City on the first night. Funny, terrifying, so many good jumps, but most of all: FUN! Check it out!

She is one of the best people I've ever worked with and exceeds every expectation you have for her.

Holy shit! Shudder could not be in better hands. Angel is the fucking best, and this is one hell of a woman to put in that job. A true horror nerd to the bone, this is gonna be an exciting new era for Shudder.

Fuck this woke nonsense! Do your own research, snowflake. Most of the reported deaths were accidental or the result of vaccinations, and the woke media full of people who eat exclusively from movie tie in menus are lying to you! Camp Crystal Lake is safe! I'd send my own kids there! If I had any.
I have stayed silent for too long. I think Crystal Lake is a bad camp and people should stop sending their kids there. Enough is enough. I hope people read this and take this seriously and don’t ignore the warning signs like I did. Bad stuff keeps happening there.

Guys, it’s just not safe there.

What scene makes you emotional no matter how many times you've seen it?

Rick worked on THE BLACK PHONE with us and was a wonderful man who did amazing work. He is missed. If you have the means, please consider donating.
In July, we found out that Rick Pour of Bearded Skulls MUFX suddenly passed away.

On Nov. 1st, there will be a memorial for Rick Pour here in Wilmington, NC, as well as a fundraiser to help raise awareness of how rampant mental health issues are in the arts. Please share.
