A screenshot showing Kiri and Lou, two clay characters from a New Zealand series. One looks like a yellow dinosaur on two legs; the other looks like a purple elephant with a curly tail. They now have a movie.

With the death of sam Neill the other night, I thought I'd go back and watch a couple of his earlier movies, starting with Sleeping Dogs. It's a New Zealand in a state of civil war, with him caught up against his will, and a massive manhunt for him. #filmsky #NZfilm

New Zealand has produced some genuinely brilliant horror comedies — the deadpan local humour pairs surprisingly well with supernatural chaos.

Something about the NZ attitude of "yeah nah, this is fine" against absolute horror is comedy gold.

A horror movie set in New Zealand just hits differently. The landscape, the dry humour, the understated chaos.

What's your favourite horror film from outside the US or UK?

I went to Holy Days - while there's plenty of sentiment and a road trip through New Zealand (three nuns and a boy), I only found it mildly enjoyable, and that came from the interactions between the characters. Plot flaws bothered me.

Lovely essay on @reactorsff.bsky.social by Asa West about two encounters with Vincent Ward's THE NAVIGATOR separated by decades, how memories play games with us and why that thing you kinda remember is worth hunting out.
