And then 'Monolith', a really interesting mystery thriller with sci-fi horror flavouring, was something that I initially was super into, but ultimately it didn't offer a satisfying conclusion. Otherwise? Pretty cool! letterboxd.com/1thestickman...
Review of ‘Monolith’ (2022) ★★★

'Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person', a offbeat vampire dramedy was a fun enough watch, but I can't help but feel I've seen the same (VERY similar) sorta thing done better in other films.

Second day of Abertoir brought mixed fruits. 'The Moor', a slowburn psychological thriller maybe burned a bit TOO slow, for something that didn't have much to say. Wasn't terrible, and the ending is fun, but I was a little bored in the middle.

Also saw 'Red Rooms', which was pretty great. A very bleak and disturbing psychological thriller that deals with peoples fascination with crime/killers. Maybe it could've been a bit more conclusive in parts, but largely? BANGER.

Watched 'Psychosis' at Abertoir Online. Its got stylish trippy visual for days, but it really was lacking much in the way of substance or engaging characters. Don't watch this if you have motion sickness, I reckon. letterboxd.com/1thestickman...

Taking part in Abertoir Horror Festival's online programme again this year. A hearty fuck you to whoever at Eventive decided, after 3 years of use, that suddenly my computer was not allowed to use their service any more. Thankfully I have a house full of back-up devices. Still, fuck you, Eventive!
