The sheer number of pardons Trump will need to sign, he’s bound to forget a few…

2026 #31NightsofHorror Day 8 - Resident Evil (2026). The best Resident Evil movie, but that wasn’t a big crashed car to hurdle. Has fun with the video game-ness of it all, but when it could be creepy it gets bogged down in bad dialogue. Was PWHauser paid by the word? Last act mostly a mess. #filmsky

2026 #31NightsofHorror Day 7 - Crimson Peak (2013). All atmosphere, all audience one step ahead of the mystery the whole time. Gothic Dracula meets The Sixth Sense, but when you see dead people in a Guillermo del Toro film you expect to see things from their side of the equation. #filmsky

2026 #31NightsofHorror Day 6 - Berberian Sound Studio (2012). “Sounds a little watery, any fresh marrow?” Soft spoken Gideroy is employed by an Italian studio to work as expert foley artist for a horror movie. Exquisite sound design - how could it not be - but does much else happen? Nope. #filmsky

2026 #31NightsofHorror Day 5 - Idle Hands (1999). “[911] there’s something wrong with my friend, I think he took nutmeg or something.” Evil Dead’s evil hand in Halloween’s Pasadena. Film starts fast and loose and funny… but runs out of steam helmed by an uninventive director. #filmsky

2026 #31NightsofHorror Day 4 - The Thing (1982). Memorable for the incredible special effects by Rob Bottin, who apprenticed under Rick Baker. Stan Winston also had a role as there were so many creature effects needed. Russell & Carpenter’s 3rd collaboration after Elvis and Escape from NY. #filmsky

2026 watch #177 - Digger (2026). Brilliant. Shit. Then brilliant again. I knew Cruise could act, just haven’t seen it for awhile. Amazing cast, they all get a monologue, incredible set design, it just got a little too meta to fully click. Dr. Strangelove meets Synecdoche New York meets Tom! #filmsky

2026 #31NightsofHorror Day 3 - The Devil’s Mouth (2026). “There’s so much blood.” “Like bleeding?” There’s a lot of terrible dialogue in this film & White Lotus’ Tayme deserves so much better. 40 mins of Gen Z toxic quips before anything happens. Kathryn Newton needs to fly the pigeon hole. #filmsky

2026 watch #175 - Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026). The first was a romp, the sequel adds more plot armour than you can take a bloody stick at. Still quite a bit of fun, and always good to see Elijah Wood in something. #31NightsofHorror

2026 watch #174 - Mayhem (2017). Samara Weaving kickstarts her scream queen career with this tight little blood fest that blends 28 Days Later virus with American Psycho office politics and a Raid mechanic, as she and Steven Yeun claw their way to the top. Fun! Welcome to October’s #31NightsofHorror

Correct me if I’m wrong, the law in the US states political ads can contain wall to wall lies AND that networks can’t refuse to play them. I worry how AI plays into an already rotten environment.

2026 watch #173 - Perfect Blue (1997). A near-perfect anime: a pop idol wants to become an actress and is made to debase herself and begins to lose her identity. Meanwhile there is or isn’t a killer on the loose, complicated by the fact that she’s acting in a psychological thriller. #filmsky

2026 watch #172 - Toy Story 5 - No physical media window means Toy Story 5 is already on Disney+ 3 months from release. The trilogy was a perfectly good time to stop, but like Forky from 4, there is a good reason to watch 5: Smarty Pants, the potty-training device voiced by Conan O'Brien. #filmsky
Buzz and Woody watch from the side-lines in Toy Story 5...... because this is really Jessie's film, voiced by the excellent - but come on, now old-sounding - Joan Cusack. Newcomer Smarty Pants is a treat with some of the best lines of the whole franchise.Poster for Toy Story 5 featuring Lilypad. Tech vs toys. No irony detected in the streaming release by-passing the physical media window.

2026 watch #171 - The Purge: Anarchy (2014). John Carpenter Assault on Precinct 13-inspired sequel, expanding the purge sandbox that everyone seemed to crave. It’s fine for what it is. Frank Grillo is the stand out- he could be in so many better movies if given half a chance. #filmsky

2026 watch #170 - Mother (2009). Bong Joon Ho’s themes and motifs are all here as a mother fights for her son accused of murder: society’s underbelly, incompetent authority figures & of course the darkest comedy. Not as slick as Parasite, not as interesting as Memories of Murder, still good #filmsky

We don’t produce sketch show writers in the UK. Actors are great, sketches are poor, writing room is small and packed with people who have little experience in TV sketch comedy. It’s not a stretch - hire some Americans who do have experience if we want #SNLUK to survive?

2026 watch #168 - The Sweet Hereafter (1997). Every parent’s nightmare comes true for a whole pied piper’s worth of townsfolk in a harrowing Russell Banks adaptation. Why aren’t more of his books made into films? Probably because we just couldn’t take the agony he inflicts on his characters #filmsky
