SCORCH MARKS is officially out now! I'm a proud producer of this apocalyptic queer horror that marks the feature film directorial debut of @brendohales.bsky.social. A truly remarkable cast & crew...and an undeniably sumptuous nightmare. October begins at the end! Watch now on @mydekkoo.bsky.social!

You are absolutely allowed to dislike a movie simply because it stars a well-known abuser. You are absolutely allowed to oppose giving well-known abusers awards, prestigious roles, and praise. That is not an unreasonable standard to have—it is a very reasonable one

"While DETENTION draws heavily from Japanese video games — its alternating versions of the school mirror the mixed-realities approach favored by the SILENT HILL franchise — its horrors are heavily rooted in Taiwanese history." Don't forget: DETENTION is the high that SILENT HILL fans are chasing.

Targets (1968) is a weirdly prescient movie about mass shootings before the US got really into mass shootings. It’s also about Boris Karloff.

"Wildling women are wild and capable – they don’t need men to protect them, provide for them, or control them." One of my favorite things about working with @mollyhenery.bsky.social is that she really gets our niche of 2000s and 2010s horror criticism. So many movies in these decades need champions.
