So, wasn't well enough to attend FrightFest which was a shame but have managed to watch season one of Furious which I'd very much recommend.

I lost my perfect boy Casper last night. I'm heartbroken. He was the best boy.

I mean, nothing short of incredible that people were going to see anything he's made after those Greta Thunberg comments

I'd say Eli Roth must put a decent effort into being one of the most loathsome people in horror but I suspect it comes very naturally to him.

And then puts that artist in the firing line for using the technology. We're all going to have to get much better at interrogating this stuff (especially in small artists/indie film spaces)

Interesting to note that The Home Team were accused of having an artist use AI for their designs. They've released a Fuck AI shirt which is being critiqued for... looking like AI. Increasingly the Witchfinder General approach is not going to work as AI continues to gobble up genuine artist's work

Ah nice, good shout. I think I should probably just get there and back in a day tbh. Bit of seaside time, good food, poke around and back to the dog

Verdict in the room was generally that this was more Oddity than Caveat but I enjoyed myself nonetheless

Caitlyn @scaredsheepless.bsky.social · 27/04/2026
No I get that entirely. I was furious at The Lee Cronin Mummy trailer because if something immediately pops your willing suspension of disbelief it's an uphill battle. I found with Oddity I'd immediately sussed it (somehow, I'm never usually that astute) and then spent the rest of it a bit bored

Saw HOKUM today and was pleasantly surprised after (whisper it) not really rating Oddity but enjoying Caveat. I support Damian McCarthy's unending dedication to get people to be as frightened of rabbits as I am. scaredsheepless.wordpress.com/2026/04/27/h...

Great piece by Sharai on two ⭐very⭐ different films with similar family dynamics. They Will Kill You was definitely more of a hit for me because it is so aware of tone that you just go with every single mad second it offers you. nighttidemag.com/2026/03/30/s...

Absolutely! There's a tendency to want to legitimise horror constantly (understandable given it is constantly critiqued) by over analysis (I'm as guilty as anyone) but ultimately you can just rely on a fun take on tried and tested formula.

Caitlyn @scaredsheepless.bsky.social · 04/03/2026
There's also still a lot of snobbery around it too. Anything that isn't going to be called "elevated" is sort of a bit of an embarrassment to studios it feels like. But it's where just as much inventive stuff is.

Caitlyn @scaredsheepless.bsky.social · 04/03/2026
I'm hoping this means at least a little more acknowledgement that horror more often than not makes money and so there's more chance for even more in this kind of range.
