Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 15hThe Devils: A masterpiece in filmmaking...a film that is important now more than ever. A tale of manipulation of religion for political gain, brainwashing of society, encompassed in powerful storytelling. The complete version is challenging in all aspects, and it will make you feel everything. 000
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 15hAn absolute privelege to sit pretty much beside the great Vanessa Redgrave. Spoke to her after the film..said it was an honour to watch that. She said "it was wonderful to see it in full" She shook my hand, and thanked me for coming to see it....I'm good now 100
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 15hA moving introduction to The Devils by the one and only Mark Kermode and how the restoration came about 100
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 15hIt's was UK Premiere of the uncensored, restored director’s cut of KEN RUSSELL’S THE DEVILS, tonight at BFI in 35mm 110
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Digger: A very clever yet messy satire. I liked that it took a big swing, doesn't fully land but I appreciated what I saw. Reminded me of Poor Things and Dr Stranglove with a bit of Coen Brothers. Would be lauded if it wasn't big budget and didn't star Tom Cruise Go see original ideas... 010
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Yeah it's not bad.. weird premise but you just have to go witb it 110
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 08/10/2026The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari: Saw the 2024 restoration and it was incredible. Fascinating to imagine how radical this must have felt in 1920. Distorted sets and shadows and theatricality create a nightmarish experience that still feels unsettling 100+ yrs on #31DaysOfHorror 8/31 030
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Bloody Hell: A fun, over-the-top horror comedy that fully embraces its B-movie roots. A guy flees his own personal hell only to land somewhere much worse. Darkly funny with plenty of mayhem, though the ending needed more punch and the kills could’ve been more inventive. #31DaysOfHorror 7/31 120
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Verity: So much of this was bad. I've not read the book but it felt like a kid wrote this with no concept of what an erotic thriller is or what constitutes as a coherent story. That final scene... really? I guess I was keen to see how it plays out,at least and it turned into 50 Shades of Clichés 010
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Blood and Black Lace: What a gorgeous looking and sounding film. The mystery of the unknown killer, the stylish slasher thrills and, above all, those incredible visuals. It’s all about the look, mood and atmosphere. Glad I finally got round to seeing this! #31DaysOfHorror 6/31 040
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 05/10/2026#31DaysOfHorror it's 5/31 and time for another Blaxploitation Horror...Dr Black and Mr.Hyde (1976) Looking forward to this one✌🏾(catch bit over on Tubi) 030
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 05/10/2026#31DaysOfHorror 4/31 was Piranha (2010) Dumb fun, cool kills and total chaos. Also we got to see a good Jaws nod and Ving Rhames being a badass 🙌🏾 030
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 03/10/2026#31daysOfHorror 3/31 it's time for some. Blaxploitation horror.....Sugar Hill (1974) 031
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 02/10/202631 Days of Horror ....need to get on it this year so created a letterboxd list of films I haven't seen. Some obvious gaps which I'm intrigued to fill! boxd.it/XHp88boxd.it31 Days of Horror 2026A list of 31 films compiled on Letterboxd, including House (1977), Infirmary (2026), Lake Mungo (2008), Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum (2018) and Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom (1975). 040
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 02/10/2026 #31daysofhorror started yesterday...Kicked things off with Hausu (first time watch too!) 040
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Hope was absolutely wild viewing. Some spectacular filmmaking, incredible camerawork and impressive stuntwork. An insane monster movie blending multiple genres, and it mostly works. The dodgy CGI holds it back, but I still enjoyed what this tries ✌🏾 000
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Resident Evil: Love when a movie completely immerses you in its world, took me back to the OG PS2 game. Funny, gory and plays out like a mental game sequence. Zach Cregger gives us the everyman trying to navigate the horrors of Racoon City and it's spot on. 030
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I Want Your Sex: Teased but didn't go all the way. Olivia Wilde is fearless in this! Was like of Baby Girl, The Secretary and Under The Silver Lake had a threesome and this is the result. A wild ride of movie that is a volatile as it is unafraid in the execution of the premise. 020
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Everybody To Kenmure Street: Astonishing documentary of people simply turning up to stop the deportation of their neighbours. Ordinary people knowing something had to be done. Scots are built different, it's why I love being in Glasgow ✌🏾 Society isn’t totally screwed, just run by megalomaniacs 021
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Erupcja: Arthouse vibes in Warsaw, where people meet, leave, and stumble into strange coincidences and the vapid characters take everything in. The use of colour is fantastic, giving it a distinctive visual style. Also...The boyfriend is such a wet wipe. 010
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 13/09/2026A slow-burn police procedural/psychological thriller about a missing girl. A priest, released convict and police officer are haunted by their own demons. Cleverly unfolding even when the answers are in plain sight, though it could have done more with its subject matter and revelations. 020
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 11/09/2026BABY ASSASSINS (2021) is a lot of fun. Two teenage assassins juggle crappy jobs, Nintendo Switch and awkwardly fitting into society, while also carrying out hits. A deadpan slacker comedy with brilliant offbeat humour, great chemistry and some seriously impressive fight scenes. 120
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 11/09/2026PENNY LANE IS DEAD goes places, delivering unflinching brutality, nasty Ozploitation flick. An unwanted guest scenario spirals from bad to WTF. It drags in the middle, but the final 30 minutes deliver. Brutal, raw and mean-spirited. I didn't get on with parts of it but appreciate what it tried to do 021
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 11/09/2026One Night Only has a baffling concept set under a controlling (and weirdly accepted) government. Cute-ish and watchable, but so much doesn't make sense, and I had SO many questions. Imagine David Cronenburg or Lars Von Trier made this... would be 5 stars! 000
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Parasomnia is a solid feature debut. A young woman suffering from sleep terrors is stalked by an entity, as the unsettling dealings of the subconscious unfold. Creepy and atmospheric, with some good scares, practical effects and a strong monster build-up. Despite a few odd moments, I enjoyed this. 010
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 02/09/2026How quick did FrightFest go this year! Thanks to the organisers and volunteers. Here are my top picks from the festival (in no order): Colony Salmokji: Whispering Water Ghost In The Cell Sanguine/Species Buddy Sweet Violence Grind Spider Island You Are The Film Recluse 030
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 20/08/2026This time next week...this all starts again at @frightfest.bsky.social The best time of the year! 041
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026HELLCAT starts as a tense, claustrophobic survival thriller, trapping you inside a camper as horrors unfold largely off screen. Then the second half flips the script, going completely insane with twists. Unsettling, unpredictable and with a powerful final sequence 020
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Think zombie apocalypse, but swap the zombies for dinosaurs and give the characters some seriously questionable decision making skills. As a family focused survival thriller, it kept me engaged, but lacked the dread and that plot was shaky. Oh and that kid was the dumbest! 020
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Pools: A dreamy coming of age story about a girl struggling at school and grieving her father, during a pool hopping night with friends. Beautifully shot heartfelt ode to the summers of youth, carried by Odessa A'zion. It slows in the second half, but the payoff really lands. 030

Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 24/07/2026California Schemin': This was fun to watch….two down on their luck Scottish rappers, adopt American personas. The fame and adulation works differently for both. Based on a true story…definitely one to check out. Don’t become the dude that plays the dude that plays another dude ✌🏾 010
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Saccharine: After trying a bizarre weight loss craze involving human ashes, a medical student is haunted by the ghost of the person she's consuming. A disturbing, thought provoking take on body image and eating disorders, building to a bleak ending which leaves you with plenty to ponder. Liked this 010
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Here tho go: docs.google.com/spreadsheets... I thought I posted it here alreadydocs.google.comFrightFest 2026 Schedule 010
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Hey everyone! I’ve made my annual FrightFest spreadsheet and thought I’d share it again! I've added runtimes this year plus two Clashfinder sheets: one with intro/Q&A timings and one without (depending on your preference) Hope it helps! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...docs.google.comFrightFest 2026 Schedule 050
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 16/07/2026FrightFest programme reveal day🙌🏾 Hyped for this lineup!! That main screen looks tasty and some gems in the Discovery screens 🤩 020
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Hold the Fort: After moving to the suburbs, a young couple finds themselves battling monsters from hell. Silly, slapstick, and in your face cheesy, it's packed with gory fun, kamikaze bats, kung fu spirits, zombies, and plenty of fun moments. An enjoyable horror comedy 040
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Forbidden Fruits: It starts off feeling cliché, but soon shifts into an absurd horror comedy mixing Mean Girls, The Craft and Heathers. The sharp dialogue and wild horror are fun, but imo it's ultimately too paint by numbers, lacking the depth and bite of its inspirations 010
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Evil Dead Burn: Brutal, relentlessly violent and good blood soaked gory fun! Great to talk to stars Souhelia Yacoub and Hunter Doohan and director Sébastien Vaniček #EvilDeadBurn 020
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 02/07/2026Dead Lover: A quirky, low budget Frankenstein riff that's delightfully weird. Poetic dialogue and improv heavy, the theatrical style won't be for everyone, but its creativity, charm, horror, dark comedy, and surprisingly heartfelt storyline made it a memorable viewing experience! 020
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Lowlifes: A family road trip in an RV takes a deadly turn after picking up two strangers. Questionable decisions lead to blood being spilled and bodies piling up. Bloody, gory, twisted, and packed with surprises, this Tubi Original is a fun ride. I'd happily watch a sequel 020
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Carolina Caroline: Dinner in America's steamier, less quirky cousin. Kyle Gallner is charming as a con man, while Samara Weaving shines as his partner on the run. Mellow intensity and frantic thrills, mixing Bonnie & Clyde and True Romance into a wildly enjoyable cocktail! 🙌🏾 040
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 10/06/2026Exit 8: Delivers a decent message with some genuinely harrowing moments. It could've gone a bit gnarlier, but it's unsettling enough to make you question life and contemplate your next move. A reflective walk afterwards is highly recommended✌🏾 010
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is a beautiful, campy and sensual watch. It brilliantly satirises and strips down the slasher genre while exploring coming of age themes and queer identity. The kills are gloriously gory, and Jane Schoenbrun delivers another absorbing story! 030
Mal Jutley @maljutley.bsky.social · 06/06/2026En route to SXSW London for one hell of a double bill tonight! Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasa followed by Leviticus 010
