Created a resource, Black Canadian Film, that documents films made by Black Canadian filmmakers, Canadian films about the Black experience, etc. blackcanadianfilm.ca

All systems go for Montreal's Fantasia Fest that starts ten days from now - and it's a banger year for women both in front and behind the camera. My report at the Alliance of Women Film Journalists is now live: awfj.org/blog/2024/07...

A fun historical detail that didn't make it into 'The Devil's Bath'. www.rogerebert.com/interviews/i...

Our hero Neil did such an amazing work producing this beautiful release. Day of the Beast is hands down one of my all-time favourite 90s horror films (equal only perhaps to Dellamorte Dellamore), and making a video essay on it for this release was a real bucket list project 💙

New work at Arrow where I was able to commission new extras by @suspirialexx.bsky.social, Kat Ellinger and Xavier Aldana Reyes, @bonnequin.bsky.social, @josearroyo.bsky.social, and Valeria Villegas Lindval as well as ace new artwork from @hvon.bsky.social for this Alex De La Iglesia set :-)

Thrilled to have co-produced this Arrow release with the F13 critical dream team @donatobomb.bsky.social @alexwest.bsky.social @joshnelsonfilm.bsky.social Matt Konopka; plus new commentaries, interviews w director, both writers, and DOP Daniel Pearl (of TCSM fame!) www.arrowvideo.com/4k/friday-th...

Gonna do some self promotion today for no good reason, just because. My folk-horror movie ALL YOU NEED IS DEATH is on VOD right now, it's about a cursed Irish folk-song that destroys the lives of those who transcribe it. It's on Prime: www.amazon.com/gp/video/det...

All You Need is Deathwww.amazon.com A young couple, who are a part of a mysterious, secret organization, travel at night with the desire to discover forbidden knowledge. They believe that living, modern alchemy is contained in old, forg...

Sergio Leone discussing his father Vincenzo Leone and moviemaking as religious rite in an interview with Pete Hamill for American Film in 1984

As a capital-A Autist who has made it their life's work to grin and bear it and basically rendered dysfunctional masking as a kind of self-destructive art form, I have lost my shit with two seperate (thoroughly deserving) people in the last week and friends, it felt GREAT. Five stars, no notes.

Every giallo is good. The bad ones, in particular

Fake Documentary Q is strongly recommended if you're a found footage fan, reminds me in energy/structure/multimedia conceit of Jean-Teddy Philippe's 1989 TV series Les documents interdits (which I adore and write about in my 2014 book, Found Footage Horror Films: Fear and the Appearance of Reality)

FAKE DOCUMENTARY Q is the best found footage horror currently happening and it's a youtube channel. Run, do not walk, to this channel and watch all of these. They are INCREDIBLE.

No cover art yet, but the blurb for my 10th book (!) is now public - "The Cinema Coven: Witches, Witchcraft and Women's Filmmaking" is on its way 💙 www.amazon.co.uk/Cinema-Coven...

Watch them all, then read this 💙 www.amazon.com.au/Heller-Nicho...

you should watch Mikey And Nicky. And literally any other Elaine May film.

The next issue of Fangoria is dedicated in part to Lee Gambin and Scott Wampler. What a beautiful community, and what a cruel, mind-boggling list of names of people we've just lost x

Off to farewell this fucken reprobate

Just passing this on: for anyone wanting to attend the livestream of Lee's memorial service, here's the link. The service is taking place on Friday June 14th, 2pm Australian Eastern Standard Time view.oneroomstreaming.com/index.php?da...

Westie and I need a little poem like the Naomi Klein / Naomi Wolf one to help people distinguish us from each other, something like With Alexandra West, you're with the best. With Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, something something ridiculous (?!)

Adding to the heap of praise this book so richly deserves. It’s thoughtful, incisive and chilling. Also, I’m processing that as @suspirialexx.bsky.social is my horror doppelgänger that I, mayhaps, am the evil one because she’s so lovely?

R-PATZ I DEFENDED YOU IN THE TWILIGHT WARS OF 2008-2012 AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY ME?????

I am open to horror remakes and a long-time R-Patz defender but this is objectively one of the worst things I have ever ever heard. www.fangoria.com/robert-patti...

Robert Pattinson Is Remaking POSSESSION For Some Reasonwww.fangoria.com Today brings the absolutely baffling news (via THR) that actor/producer Robert Pattinson and Smile director Parker Finn will attempt to remake Andrzej

Just had the unenviable task of breaking the grim news of the planned Possession remake to Alison Taylor, author of the incredible Devil's Advocate book on Zulawski's film - worth adding to your collection if you have even a cursory interest in this movie www.amazon.com.au/Possession-A...
