Steve Barr @barrsteve.bsky.social · 11/02/2026I just came from an early screening of MĀRAMA, a Māori gothic horror from an excellent team led by Taratoa Stappard. It’s a banger, moody asf, with an explosive ending I’ll never forget. It opens in Aotearoa tomorrow, and in the US in April. Go find it. 1184
