Watched it at the cinema in 1982. Watched it countless times since, including yesterday. Never, ever gets old. I think I’m going to have to say it is now officially my favourite horror movie. Until I watch Halloween again, of course 🎃🎃

My work will never be read by millions of people, but it has been read by some, and that, to me, will always be enough.

Just been informed that my cosmic/sci-fi short story didn’t make The Bridport Prize shortlist this year, but I’m glad I sent it in. This is an incredibly prestigious (and therefore extremely tough) competition, and I’m still humbled by the story I submitted last year ending up as a finalist.

I bought this a while ago and finally watched it today. I think I was in need of a life-affirming movie, and this certainly hit the spot. It has its flaws but, then again, so does life. Genuinely loved it.

Matthew Holness wrote Possum. The same man who created Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. This is not a joke. It's a devastating study of childhood trauma that turns monster-as-metaphor into something more uncomfortable: lived experience. Sean Harris will break you.

Possum (2018) Review: Trauma As Unheimliche Horror - The Ginger Nuts Of Horror: Horror Book Reviews & Horror Movie Reviews

Matthew Holness’s Possum turns monster-as-metaphor into something deeper. This review explores how the film makes you live with trauma rather than just symbolise it.
