My ★★★ review of Vengeance of the Zombies on Letterboxd boxd.it/6TcX7x 🎥 filmsky 🎬

Review of ‘Vengeance of the Zombies’ (1973) ★★★boxd.it Made around the same time as Horror Rises from the Tomb, and possibly written under the same drug-fuelled conditions. It shares a lot of similarities with the aforementioned film, except instead of a…

My ★★★ review of Horror Rises from the Tomb on Letterboxd boxd.it/6TcPHd 🎥 filmsky 🎬

Review of ‘Horror Rises from the Tomb’ (1973) ★★★boxd.it A Paul Naschy film that was written over a couple of days in an amphetamine-fuelled burst of creativity, one which exacerbated Naschy's tendency to throw in whatever ideas were on his mind at the…

My ★★ review of Amityville: Dollhouse on Letterboxd boxd.it/6Tc5j5 🎥 filmsky 🎬

Review of ‘Amityville: Dollhouse’ (1996) ★★boxd.it The movies in the 90s Amityville cursed-object cycle are better than they have any right to be, however that trend comes crashing to a halt with Amityville Dollhouse. This time out a random demonic…

imagine how much great art could have been created if we took a fraction of the money spent on getting computers to make shitty art and gave it to actual artists

David Zaslav, and everyone like him, would quite literally feed you and your family thru a machine that converted you all into a cheap fuel source if it were legal for him to do so or even just required paying a small fine.

My ★★★½ review of Amityville: A New Generation on Letterboxd boxd.it/6Q6k1B 🎥 filmsky 🎬

Review of ‘Amityville: A New Generation’ (1993) ★★★½boxd.it It must have been one hell of a yard sale at the Amityville house for all of these possessed artefacts to get out into the world. This time, an evil mirror finds its way to an artists' collective in…

My ★★★★½ review of Enter the Clones of Bruce on Letterboxd boxd.it/6Q5XWf 🎥 filmsky 🎬

Review of ‘Enter the Clones of Bruce’ (2023) ★★★★½boxd.it I'd been waiting to see this for some time and finally the blu-ray box set was in my hands. Thankfully, it did not disappoint. For fans of that most bizarre of genres, Brucesploitation, and Hong Kong…

My ★★★ review of Night Terrors on Letterboxd boxd.it/6PIy97 🎥 filmsky 🎬

Review of ‘Night Terrors’ (1993) ★★★boxd.it My omnivorous film consumption combined with a somewhat obsessive completist streak can lead down some odd tangents. Case in point; wile revisiting Night of the Demons 2 recently, I was struck by how…

My ★★★½ review of Amityville 1992: It's About Time on Letterboxd boxd.it/6PErJf 🎥 filmsky 🎬

Review of ‘Amityville 1992: It's About Time’ (1992) ★★★½boxd.it The sixth film in the all-over-the-place Amityville series is from the same producers as Amityville: The Evil Escapes, and is allegedly inspired by the same book. In this one, the haunted object from…

My ★½ review of The Amityville Curse on Letterboxd boxd.it/6PEqsn 🎥 filmsky 🎬

Review of ‘The Amityville Curse’ (1990) ★½boxd.it Since both the tragic DeFeo family and con artists the Lutzes were real people, anyone with half an idea could slap the word 'Amityville' on it and makes some money (much like the Lutzes and the…

The perception of an inevitable fascist victory in Europe is largely just the wishcasting of mainstream media publications saying that fascist victory is inevitable. See how the BBC spins National Rally's loss.

It’s weird how conservatives think having more kids than liberals means there will be more conservatives when every Drag Race contestant’s bio is “I grew up in a town where the only employers were the church and the prison, I was raised by my aunt after my mom was executed for working on Sunday”

what are we doing here? he accidentally said million instead of billion and then immediately knew it and corrected himself. he didn’t “flub a line” and then “make an effort to correct himself,” he did the speaking equivalent of a typo that you know you’ve made and instantly correct

yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

Angry gammons messaging me about Reform UKip's huge vote share, which only really illustrates what an inefficient campaign they ran to only convert it into four seats.

Please let me know what I've been watching, so I can stop.

Reminder that POTUS can direct the DOJ not to prosecute the trigger puller and, failing that, pardon anyone who carries out his order and still faces federal charges. Utterly lawless.
