"Expanding his 2022 short, writer/director Yûta Shimotsu appears to have lost his way, a potent idea about deriving happiness from the misfortune of others garbled along with the logic behind his horror concept." #BestWishesToAll #BestRegardsToAll #BUFF25

Now available to watch at home - "This is a film that has elements of both James Wan's "Saw" and Kelly Reichert's "Old Joy," an indelible mix of friendship, doubt, despair and expiation." #Vulcanizadora #BUFF25

Out of @bosunderground.bsky.social 2025, EoM Contributor @dubsreviews.bsky.social had the chance to screen FREWAKA.

Streaming now on Shudder, he says it holds audiences by “… subverting expectations and leaving audiences in a state of disarray as everything comes to a head.” #BUFF25
“Fréwaka” leaves a chill in your spine long after its end. [BUFF]

"Aislinn Clarke ("The Devil's Doorway") continues to explore Catholic repression in Ireland through the lens of the supernatural in her second feature, which evades the sophomore slump curse with its mastery of slow building dread." #Frewaka #BUFF25

EoM Contributor @dubsreviews.bsky.social had the chance to check out THE UGLY STEPSISTER during @bosunderground.bsky.social 2025 and, now that the film is about hit theaters, you can read his full thoughts.

In short, this film is a ride & the gore warnings are real. More here. #BUFF25 #filmaky

Continuing his @bosunderground.bsky.social 2025 coverage, EoM Contributor @dubsreviews.bsky.social offers his thoughts on Yang Li sci-fi action comedy ESCAPE FROM THE 21ST CENTURY.

He says it's, "... not going to redefine the time travel genre, but it’s certainly a fun addition." #filmsky #BUFF25
“Escape from the 21st Century” is a fun hyper-stylized time travel film. [BUFF]

ESCAPE FROM THE 21ST CENTURY is a hyperactive sci-fi action film and it's such a fun ride. Lots of laughs and lots of heart. #buff25

BEST WISHES TO ALL didn't land with me. It's a Japanese horror film that I found to be a bit clumsy and confusing. I liked the concept. #buff25
March 24, 2025 at 1:38 PM
SISTER MIDNIGHT is absolutely delightful, much of which it owes to star Radhika Apte. It does more than the premise suggests, both plot-wise and thematically. #buff25

All I knew about ALMA AND THE WOLF beforehand was that it starred Ethan Embry - which it delivers on in spades! - and I was really impressed by it. #buff25
