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!!!’

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!

Hollywood Reporter bringing up ‘that’ rumour about ‘that’ leading man again. Why? Pathetic (don’t ask, if you want to know just look at their site)

Was lucky enough to see it at the Edinburgh Cameo on original release (as you know… old). There are some brilliant performances from so many people, but I’m a big fan of Lily Taylor and Jennifer Jason Leigh I think neither of them get enough flowers and they are both great in this

That movie is great, and an incredible time capsule, but it’s become so bloody hard to see!

It’s an achievement to come up with an interesting take on zombies in 2026. Between this Lanterns, and Spider-noir, weird genre noir mashups seem to be in this year

I recommend checking out Revival (it’s on Sky). Noir murder mystery with (kinda) zombies. Bit of a Coen bros vibe to the characters

‘"The uneasy question is: Can the AI only be as good as the information fed into it?" Scott said in the interview.’ Bit like can the Ridley Scott film only be as good as the screenplay

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.

…author Harper has extensive credits as a TV writer so it all feels like the real skinny. Ironically I think his TV background makes the writing stronger. The narrative is propulsive giving constant dopamine hits of plot revelations. The dialogue is scalpel sharp in its wit…
