My entire feed is two wrestling dudes crying/hugging after losing a colleague and I have zero context bc I will never follow wrestling but I love this for all of you who do! And RIP to the dude you’ve been celebrating.

I saw the 1st 2 eps of Mike Flanagan’s CARRIE at #FantasticFest (they’re excellent). Then I saw the great doc BOORMAN & THE DEVIL abt the making of EXORCIST 2. Flanagan is a talking head in that doc. This has led me to finally start watching THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER, which I missed when new!

#NEAGLY was solid. Good in terms of bingeable Dad action. Not on Reacher’s level per se but very much scratches the same itches. Liked the team she built up, hope it sticks for a 2nd season. ESP rad that it pitted Neagley against a cult bc… man, fuck cults.

Going to church on a Saturday with MOTHER MARY. Obsessed with this movie and the music and the performances. Spellbinding, gorgeous, and heartbreaking. On HBO Max.

HALF wasn’t on my radar at all leading up to #FanstasticFest, but it’s far and away the action film to beat at this year’s festival, and I think it’ll break out internationally as well. The fight choreographer from THE NIGHT COMES FOR US does Indian vampire revenge action! It rips. #Half #HalfMovie

THE WEIGHT is an Early Fall Standout
Caught between the responsibilities of a father and the crushing destabilization of the Great Depression, Samuel Murphy (Ethan Hawke) finds himself in the one place where he can’t do anything besides wonder how the hell everything went so bad, so fast for him: a prison cell. Samuel has lost just about everything but hope. With […] The post THE WEIGHT is an Early Fall Standout appeared first on Cinapse.

THE SQUIRREL is a lovely Finnish utopian/dystopian comedy/drama in which a man in an anodyne and sterilized future city finds a real squirrel where no other animals exist. Plays out very naturally from there. Great reflections on nature & humanity. The sweetest film at #FantasticFest this year.

THE CYCLE: Writer/Director Jordan Downey is an emerging major talent. His zero budget movie THE HEAD HUNTER was a calling card & THE CYCLE is his full blown arrival. A patient/engrossing police procedural transforms into practical horror breathing new life into a well-trodden genre. #FantasticFest

KICK ON really worked for me as this grimy drug fueled survival thriller. It struggles some with tone but if you’re down for the grime of it all, it’s a gore heavy good/bad time! #FantasticFest

Welp never seen a filmmaker propose after a screening but that just happened! She said yes. Wild swing of a movie. Very personal. Made me cry then weirded me out. Then clicked into place by the end.

I intentionally worked the word filmatism into this review as a tribute to my favorite film critic @outlawvern.bsky.social who not only has been an inspiration and influence but was the one who first put me onto Scott Adkins and the UNDISPUTED sequels back in the day.

I am on The Zellners’ incredibly niche wavelength, and this bizarre 50s biker alien invasion absurd war comedy definitely clicked for me. #FantasticFest

Robert Pattinson is incredible in PRIMETIME, but he’s actually the gateway to beyond-belief performances by Skyler Gisondo and Merritt Wever. Loved the cinematography by David Bolen, which drenches the ensemble cast in an all-encompassing digital dread #FantasticFest

PRIMETIME is pretty fantastic even after the impactful doc from last year called PREDATORS that covers similar territory. The performances, direction, and script are all firing here. Not a hopeful picture of the state of our country, media, etc. tough stuff. #FantasticFest #Primetime

I just saw the original HELL HOUSE doc. Incredible stuff. Released 25 years ago. Filmed JUST before 9/11. Capturing a theology in a certain place/time that highly influences where we are today. The scariest and most “can’t look away from the car crash” film I’ve seen yet at #FantasticFest #HellHouse

@mikeflanaganfilm.com more than meets the moment with CARRIE, placing King's novel within a nightmarish present where High School is the ultimate social and ideological battleground. Can't stress enough: Samantha Sloyan's Margaret is wonderful, but Summer H. Howell's Carrie is HER Carrie. Get hype.

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

An unexpectedly madcap comedy (Get it? MadCAP COMedy? Is this thing on?) This weekend, director Zach Cregger (Barbarian, Weapons) brings one of the world’s most beloved video game franchises back to the big screen. Although a relative newcomer, Cregger, who co-wrote the screenplay with Shay Hatten, has quickly established a reputation as a fresh voice […] The post Zach Cregger’s Splattery Blast RESIDENT EVIL isn’t Just for the Fans appeared first on Cinapse.
