#31DaysofHorror Day 8 - High Tension/Haute tension (2003). A gnarly home invasion slasher that definitely puts the extreme in New French Extremity. The first half is thrilling, but the quite famous final twist really doesn’t play fair with its audience. #Filmsky

The American white collar workforce started working from home three days a week for like six months a year into COVID and executives so thoroughly lost their minds over this that they installed Trump II. If anything, AI will create the 7-day workweek.

#31DaysofHorror Day 7 - Countess Dracula (1971). Not just the usual vampire story gender-swapped, but instead a bizarre horror soap opera about an aging European aristocrat turning back the clock with virgin blood. A bit cheap-looking at times, but Ingrid Pitt always keeps your attention. #Filmsky
Poster for Countess Dracula (1971). Against a purple background we see a smiling young woman holding a skull, with a smaller image of the same woman aged wielding a knife. Tagline reads “Blood. The more she drinks, the prettier she gets. The prettier she gets, the thirstier she gets.”A blonde woman in a low-cut, sheer blue gown smiles and throws her arms wide in an ornately decorated marble room. Ingrid Pitt in Countess Dracula (1971)

#31DaysofHorror Day 6 - Hell Hole (2024). This splattery Lovecraftian body horror by the Adams Family (not that one) is pretty limited by its budget but still brings its fare share of laughs and cheap thrills. Don’t drill baby drill! #Filmsky
Poster for Hell Hole (2024). The shape of a human figure made up of a mass of squirming tentacles. Tagline reads “A hole new kind of hell”.Four figures in hats and winter jackets crowd around a bloodied figure whose hand reaches up in the foreground of the shot.

The fact that Coyote Vs. Acme both managed to be somewhat of a box office success after all it went through really is proof that execs do not know anything about what the audience wants from films. And I'm glad it was one because it deserved to be since it was just great.

#31DaysofHorror Day 5 - The Stepford Wives (1975). Adapting Ira Levin, this satirical horror chillingly feels more relevant than ever thanks to rise of tradwife culture. Its early illusiveness might try the patience of some, but the final act is eerie and atmospheric in all the right ways. #Filmsky
Poster for The Stepford Wives (1975). A woman’s head and hand lie shattered on the ground like a porcelain doll. A block of text at the top begins “Something strange is happening in the town of Stepford…”Two women stand on the doorstep of an idyllic suburban home.

Well I didn’t predict a Green Lantern series would be the best TV show I’ve seen this year, but Lanterns was that. Genre thrills always in support of character, comic book references folded into a grounded and compelling wider story. Hope we don’t have to wait 2 years+ for the next season!

#31DaysofHorror Day 4 - Sleepaway Camp (1983). This low-budget slasher’s questionable 80s fashion and even more questionable acting doesn’t spoil the impact of some heinous teen bullying scenes and some very memorable character deaths. The infamous twist is what it is. #Filmsky
Poster for Sleepaway Camp (1983). A bloody knife impales a dripping wet sneaker shoe. Above, a letter beginning “Dear Mom and Dad”, below the film title drips blood. A teenage girl in a bikini talks to a teen boy and a girl sitting on a bench. Karen Fields, Christopher Collet and Felissa Rose in Sleepaway Camp (1983)

#31DaysofHorror Day 3 - Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning (2004). The monster as metaphor for colonialism doesn’t work as well as the metaphors for puberty and mental illness in the previous films, but this is still a very solid werewolf movie set in the 19th century Canadian frontier. #Filmsky
Poster for Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning (2024). Two young women in black robes, one with red hair and one dark, stand together with a full moon behind them and wolf faces below them. A women wearing a black hooded robe stands with her arms raised as a pack of werewolves rush through a wooden gate behind her. Katherine Isabelle in Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning (2004).

#31DaysofHorror Day 2 - Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (2026). This sexy, self-aware slasher hits like a train of undiluted queer energy. Getting rapidly more illusive and psychedelic as it goes, Miasma further highlights Jane Schoenbrun’s unique perspective on genre filmmaking. #Filmsky
Poster for Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (2026). Two women in blood-soaked clothes walk through a snowy forest. Tagline reads “Blood.

#31DaysofHorror Day 1 - Lust for a Vampire (1971). You can’t say Hammer Studios didn’t make the most of the relaxing of censorship rules as soon as they could. Even so, Lust for a Vampire makes for a pretty dull, slightly porny, gothic horror about vampires in a girls’ finishing school. #Filmsky
Poster for Lust for a Vampire (1971). A blonde woman drinks blood from a wine glass while ted-tinted images of a couple kissing and a male, bearded vampire reaches out his hand to hypnotise are in the background. A shot from behind of a blonde woman with blood on her torso sitting up in a coffin while two vampires in red and black robes stand in front of her in a gothic chapel.
