First day at my writing residency the E broke off my keyboard. I just keep jamming it back in and hoping for the best until it pops out again and I put it back in and it pop out and I put it back. So it’s first residency and first keyboard fight all in one!

The 2016 reflection trend has been heartwarming because it was the year I started dating my husband, photos that show the emerging love. On top of that, so many of the people within those memories are still in my life. It’s been a nice reminder that time will continue, but not all is forgotten.

Just finished Bugonia and, much like Lanthimos’ other work, I was blown away. Fabulous movie, so much yelling at the screen, pooped my pants with suspense and satisfaction!

Heated Rivalry is so good, I’m obsessed. I laughed, I cried, I felt the full spectrum of human emotions and shouted at the TV “this is why we make TV, this is art!”

need to kill the recurring thought of "no I can't replay/reread that, I have other stuff to check out" no. I am a poor little peasant living just after the advent of the printing press. I have five books at most and I will reread them so much they will know the death of the author was caused by me

day thirty one 4.5/5; this movie makes me feel scared in exactly the right way, great ghosts, compelling cast
Movie poster for Gonjiam Haunted Asylum; title at center bottom, a decrepit hallway has a group of people walking towards the camera with flashlights
010
Victoria Hood (she/her) @toriiellen.bsky.social · 30/10/2025
day thirty 4.5/5; such a gnarly movie, so bloody and creepy, it makes me scared in the best ways
Movie poster for Evil Dead Rise; title is center bottom, above is tagline “mommy loves you to death”, a demonic woman stares eerily into the camera embracing three children
010
Victoria Hood (she/her) @toriiellen.bsky.social · 30/10/2025
day twenty nine 3/5; not the movie I was expecting (in both good and bad ways), very quick pace which I don’t think served the movie super well, I did enjoy the ending and would be interested to rewatch it
Movie poster Shelby Oaks; title is center top against a black background, a blurry woman on a bloody mattress sits on the bottom of the poster
010
Victoria Hood (she/her) @toriiellen.bsky.social · 29/10/2025
day twenty eight 1.5/5; such an edge lord movie that just feels like a cheap porno, no character development and a bad ending, some funny moments
Movie poster for Run Bitch Run!; title is at bottom of poster, tagline “revenge is a bitch” just above it, a woman is facing away from camera, we see her legs in heels spread while standing
000
Victoria Hood (she/her) @toriiellen.bsky.social · 27/10/2025

000
Victoria Hood (she/her) @toriiellen.bsky.social · 26/10/2025
day twenty six 5/5; rewatched with my sister (her first watch) and it was still so good, so sad, so tense, I’d watch it again in a heartbeat
Movie poster for The Long Walk; a group of boys walks towards the front of the poster where a man stands with his leg spread, the title is across the bottom of the poster which looks like a paved road
000
Victoria Hood (she/her) @toriiellen.bsky.social · 26/10/2025
day twenty five 2/5; I think this is the most oddly paced movie I’ve ever seen, the killer was a lil freak and there were some funny moments but I felt no emotional investment and had an eh time watching
Movie poster for Slumber Party Massacre; a man with a drill is hiding as a group of five women stand searching for him, tagline “You Know the Drill” center left on poster, title on the bottom
000
Victoria Hood (she/her) @toriiellen.bsky.social · 25/10/2025
day twenty four 5/5; what a harrowingly dreadful movie, the tension is inescapable and we’re constantly being pulled along, beautiful and bleak
Movie poster for The Long Walk; title is at bottom of poster laying on road, a group of boys is walking towards a solider with his legs parted
000
Victoria Hood (she/her) @toriiellen.bsky.social · 24/10/2025
day twenty three 5/5; a fun take on the slasher, great characters, entertaining kills and a satisfying ending (plus it only gets better with rewatch)
Movie poster for There’s Someone Inside Your House; a young woman’s face floats in an orange sky above a house in the distance of a corn field
020
Victoria Hood (she/her) @toriiellen.bsky.social · 24/10/2025

020
Victoria Hood (she/her) @toriiellen.bsky.social · 23/10/2025

000
Victoria Hood (she/her) @toriiellen.bsky.social · 21/10/2025
day nineteen 2.5/5; the tension did keep me interested but it’s a very standard thriller, I do love Leighton Meester though!
Movie poster for The Weekend Away; title is left of center, a woman is facing a man who is looking away from her
000
Victoria Hood (she/her) @toriiellen.bsky.social · 20/10/2025
day eighteen 1/5; a very on the nose movie that feels like a long, mediocre music video, overall just very boring to me
Movie poster for CTRL; a young woman is staring down towards the title at the bottom of the poster, the poster has a distorted texture
000
Victoria Hood (she/her) @toriiellen.bsky.social · 17/10/2025
day seventeen 3.75/5; a fun, funny suspenseful movie that’s really enjoyable upon rewatch! It’s easy to get into and good for a day time watch!

000
Victoria Hood (she/her) @toriiellen.bsky.social · 16/10/2025
day sixteen 2.4/5; just like an okay requel, it felt more shallow than the original but it did have some good kills! I just did not care about like any of the characters
Movie poster for 2025’s I Know What You Did Last Summer: title is center of poster with a person in a fisherman slicker holding a fish hook is covering the background, in the foreground is a group of three boys and four girls walking toward the background while looking around to the camera
000
Victoria Hood (she/her) @toriiellen.bsky.social · 15/10/2025
day fifteen 3.2/5; I like the idea and the reveal was effective, but I didn’t love the acting or pacing. It’s a movie that could go up upon rewatch and it’s worth a watch if you haven’t seen it!
Movie poster for Marshmallow: a young boy stand in front of a tall masked person with a bright light, a blue/green animated forest is behind them
000
Victoria Hood (she/her) @toriiellen.bsky.social · 15/10/2025
day fourteen 4/5; this movie makes my skin crawl, the precision and persistence of this killer is mind boggling, always a wild watch!
Movie poster for The Collector; a man is facing a well lit house while tightening a mask
010
Victoria Hood (she/her) @toriiellen.bsky.social · 13/10/2025
day thirteen 2.9/5; the body horror was well done and visualizing interesting but this movie lacked heart and felt almost vacant
Movie poster for Together: starring Dave Franco and Alison Brie, both actors are facing each other with their eyes closed and their bottom lips are fused together
000
Victoria Hood (she/her) @toriiellen.bsky.social · 12/10/2025
day twelve 4.5/5; I can’t believe this is my first time watching this movie, such a wild watch that kept me on the edge of my seat, compulsive!
Movie poster for Teeth: title at top of poster, white bathroom with white bathtub is filled with dark water, bubbles, a rose at the bottom, and a teen girl staring at the camera with only her mouth and above showing.
000
Victoria Hood (she/her) @toriiellen.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
day eleven 2.6/5; an okay movie, and Dakota Fanning will always be an amazing actress, but the pacing was off and it felt needlessly drawn out
Movie poster for Vicious: Dakota Fanning sitting next to a creepy box
000
Victoria Hood (she/her) @toriiellen.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
day ten 3.6/5; a solid movie with a really satisfying ending, the acting was okay but not great, a very fall feeling movie
Movie poster for Night of the Reaper: title at bottom of poster with “a shudder original” underneath, above is a woman in a suburban street looking up at a cloudy sky with a skull
000
Victoria Hood (she/her) @toriiellen.bsky.social · 10/10/2025
day nine 4/5; a really fun addition to the franchise, campy and entertaining, surprisingly gory!
Movie poster for V/H/S Halloween; movie title at bottom with date 10.03.25 underneath, a red skull is made from a dark forest background
010
Victoria Hood (she/her) @toriiellen.bsky.social · 09/10/2025
day eight 5/5; a brutally beautiful portrayal of how grief eats you alive, jaw dropping scenes that are done perfectly, even better upon rewatch
Movie poster for Bring Her Back: a child with red eyes staring up at a hand holding their forehead, in a circle framing their forehead/nose it reads “bring her back a film by Danny and michael philippou”
010
Victoria Hood (she/her) @toriiellen.bsky.social · 07/10/2025
day seven 3.8/5; I am a sucker for the Purge franchise and I think this is a well done prequel that really holds up upon rewatch!
Movie poster for The First Purge; a person looking menacingly at the camera with skeleton makeup, title and tagline appear on poster: “witness the birth of an American tradition the first purge”
010
Victoria Hood (she/her) @toriiellen.bsky.social · 06/10/2025
day six 3.2/5; a good movie with some good kills, but not my favorite in this realm of horror
Movie poster for Wrong Turn; a young woman is starring at a menacing face
