Just watched Twinless, and now I must watch all James Sweeney’s films. Two guys, one straight, one gay, meet at a support group for bereaved twins and form a friendship. Where it goes from there is amazing. Try and see cold.

I am somewhat concerned Cregger bugged my apartment, recorded me playing Resident Evil Requiem. And simply used the transcript for all Austin Abram’s dialogue… ‘STUPID FUCKING MONSTERS!!!’

maxrenn70.bsky.social @maxrenn70.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

I think if you aren’t into Resident Evil games, Zach Cregger’s RE movie is 3-4 star depending on your love of the horror genre. If you are into those games… it’s a straight five (al least for me anyways)

Can we just pause a moment to reflect that someone has made a good Resident Evil film. Truly. We live in an age of wonders.

I know all the reports are calling it a comedy show (not inaccurate), but can we just take a minute to say a horror show just won 11 emmys!

The other thing The End of Oak Street clearly demonstrates, is that Favid Robert Mitchell is most definately a dog person and not a cat person

I had a lot of fun with The End of Oak Street, but everyone saying it’s a Spielberg knock off is just wrong… …it’s a Joe Dante knock off.

Watching Tip Toe (brilliant, but horrifying) makes standing against creeping homophobia all the more vital. Libraries should be safe spaces. #pride c.org/ddrSSgZm2Z

One episode to go on Spider-Noir, and I don’t think I’ve had this much fun with a tv show in ages. Nicholas Cage is the best here that he’s been since his imperial phase back in the 90s. It’s a perfect marriage of actor and material. He could easily be in a Jacques Tourneur film from the 1940s.

Christ, Obsession is so not the completely conventional modern horror movie the trailer sold it as. I genuinely feel sick coming out of it my stomach was in such tight knots by the end.

#66: Corn

A screenshot of a Guardian headline to a column by Adrian Chiles. It reads 'Misery loves company: so allow me to tell you about the agony of my corn'

1982
I am running across the field. The other boys are close behind me. I can hear their taunts echoing through the night—’Raggletaggle’ ‘Straw for brains’ ‘Tatty boy’. This is different from all the other times when they picked on me at school. This time they mean to kill me, I’m sure of it.
I run hard, fast, through the endless corn rows.

Today
The sun is setting behind the forest. From my vantage point in the middle of the field I can see the sky begin to purple. My body—not human, not any more—is clothed in the rags they dressed me in all those years ago. My face, a hessian sack; two jagged eyeholes, a slash for a mouth.
As the darkness comes I can feel my strength build with it. Tonight will be the night.
They are fathers now, those taunting boys. Their sins are distant memories, less solid to them than a half-remembered song. If I exist for them, it’s as a guilty secret, buried deep, like Roman bones.
But my memories are sharp and vivid. Their fists against my face, the knife that pierced my heart and left me dying; my blood seeping into the soil, feeding the corn that grows here; their hands on my body, pulling me across the ground, towards my final fate.
I step down from the wooden cross, let out a scream, and the corn—fed by my blood, nourished by my pain, alive to my misery—screams with me.
Somewhere out there in the town beyond the field, four men are facing their last night on earth. Four guilty men.
I pick up the rusty scythe that was left by my feet and begin to walk. The cries of the corn accompany my every step, vengeance pulsing through my bloodless limbs. Tireless, pitiless, I seek my revenge.

1982
The hands drop me to the earth, my eyes towards the stars. Above me, looming, I can see the face of the scarecrow, blank, unseeing, a lifeless mask.
“We’ll hide him inside,” say the boys, “That way he won’t be found.”
They lift me up and begin to dress me.
They make me the scarecrow, and the scarecrow—forever— I become.
