RogerEbert.com@ebertvoices.bsky.social · yesterday"I’ve been happy with the films I’ve seen here and the experiences I’ve had, and I wish I had time to give all the pictures I witnessed the space they deserve on these here pages. But here are some that deserve mention,” writes @clintworthing.bsky.social in his recap of the Fantasia Film Festival:
“THE SHARDS isn’t fun enough or campy enough or weird enough or salacious enough. It’s pretty packaging standing in for actual substance and no amount of coke or 80s needle drops can save it.” My 1⭐️ review:
Ryan Murphy’s ‘The Shards’ Review – No Substance, Just Coke and 1980s Needle Drops

Horror Queers@horrorqueers.bsky.social · yesterdayPrep your cattle prod and ready that tenacious eel because we're wrapping up the Mason Verger of it all and moving into Red Dragon territory as we barrel our way towards the conclusion(?) of Bryan Fuller's HANNIBAL.
Sara Paxton stars in the true crime inspired Lifetime film KILLER CLOWN that’s not as campy or salacious as its title may suggest. Check out my review on @bloody-disgusting.com

In 1997, young Elizabeth (Hazelyn Morrison) watches her mother Samantha (Amanda Jordan) answer the door of their home around Halloween…only to be shot in the back by a clown with a gun. This is how th...

Shocking no one (I love Ari Millen, but this has looked like absolute shit since day one)
Justin LaLiberty@jlalibs.bsky.social · yesterdayI really hope that all of the people in my feeds who rail against gen-AI flyer art (and rightfully so) and are also horror fans, don’t fall prey to Ice Cream Man now that the reviews are pointing to its abundance of AI effects. Don’t be a contradiction, speak with your wallets here.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time.

Tess is Surviving the Horrors@mothmother.com · 4d agoI started getting followed by some "film festivals" and "writing festivals" and thought "oh, these are cool!" Then I looked a little closer. They're all part of a network that preys on writers, charging us for reviews, and feeding our stuff into slop generators. So I made a list.👋🏻🖕🏻😠
