Damn, what a loss. Jeremy was a true legend and British film was all the better for his input. He worked with many incredible directors and always brought out the best in them. R.I.P good sir. 🙏 Oscar-winning film producer Jeremy Thomas dies aged 77 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Saddened to hear of the passing of Andy Williams. Gutter Phenomenon is an incredible album, give it a listen in his honour. 💪 The lead single I still rock to nearly daily! youtu.be/fl0Z72PoDdY?...

Happy to see the announcement of our restoration making it over to the US (it took me a year to put the film back together!). Also happy that you guys can see the Deleted Scenes I compiled and edited together. They kinda act like a separate film, there's that many of them! #Horror #PhysicalMedia

Damn, saddened to hear about the passing of Vincent Pastore, a true presence whenever on screen. Be it in crime classics like Carlito's Way and The Sopranos or trashy genre goodness like Return to Sleepaway Camp!

Huge thanks to @jlalibs.bsky.social and the folks at @vinsyn.bsky.social for having me be a part of this release. New French Extremity is a real passion for me, so getting to write about French horror was a real honour. #PhysicalMedia #Horror #BluRay

I got to spend part of last year speaking with British screen royalty for the upcoming release of Sexy Beast, but the real thrill was going to the RPC offices in London and basking in their incredible cinematic offerings. The wall of prestige was truly something. So many classics.

Maestro Fulci would have been 99 today! 😱 How are you going to celebrate his birthday? We've been hard at work editing the documentary and our Fulci section is definitely a highlight! 🔪🩸😱 #FulciLives #Horror

Celebrating what would have been Lucio Fulci's 99th birthday today! Soothing sounds for the morning, then cracking out some of his later works because I absolutely adore that era of his career. 🔪😱🩸 #FulciLives #Horror #PhysicalMedia #Vinyl

This one was a long time in the making, in fact the guys at Warp and Shane both made other projects while we were working on this one! It was awesome getting to speak with the mighty cast and crew of this very special film. Gutted the original film elements have been lost though. #FilmSky

We designed it as Eden Lake meets Dead Man's Shoes (also based on a true story) via Michael Haneke and Bruno Dumont. So that should probably tell you all you need to know about this one. #horror #filmsky

This era was very exciting for young genre fans like myself, Dimension Films were like today's Blumhouse. I put together a little list of films that Dimension released in the 90s that had us all hyped. Needless to say a lot of them didn't end up as good as we'd hoped! What were yours? boxd.it/RWXrE

I wish they would again! 😅 Just had an amazing couple of hours with a truly incredible producer, and the wine cellar where we shot had some awesome relics from the past. All sadly relevant today, much like their films.

How do I know this Cardiff-set drama wasn't made by Welsh people? No one in this Cardiff-set drama has a Cardiffian accent, for some reason they all seem to have Swansea or Rhondda accents! How do you fuck that up? 🤦‍♂️ But at least they could be arsed to shoot it here, I guess. #TVSky #FilmSky
