One of my favorite pieces I’ve done for @splittoothmedia.bsky.social. Check out my look at Antoine Pellissier’s moody, atmospheric super 8 epic
Despite its utter obscurity and incomplete status, the mysterious three-hour ‘Les Proies du Mal’ may be Antoine Pellissier’s masterpiece. @valbarano.bsky.social explores the remains of the 1982 underground horror epic.

The slug-paced, staticky madness of 'Sledgehammer' feels like it was beamed in from another dimension. A classic of 1980s shot-on-video horror, 'Sledgehammer' makes for ideal late night viewing.
