One of my ALL TIME favorite recurring experiences recently is stumbling upon rad looking games, which I totally want to make my entire personality, only to then notice the AI tag.

Bloody Disgusting's SILENT HILL: TOWNFALL Hands-On Preview - Even with the change of perspective and setting, which both feel like they were chosen for all the right reasons, this feels like a modern take on classic Silent Hill: bloody-disgusting.com/video-games/...
‘Silent Hill: Townfall’ Hands-on Preview: Modern First-Person Horror That Feels Like Classic ‘Silent Hill’

🏃 Marathon Man (1976) might be the most relevant political thriller for right now. Our latest RRN piece dives into Dustin Hoffman's classic and what it says about endurance, resilience, and surviving a hostile world in 2026. blog.reelrank.net/endurance-in... Read it on ReelRank News.🏃🏃🏃 #FilmSky
Endurance in the Face of a Hostile World
What does Marathon Man (1976) have to teach us about resilience in this modern age of strife?

#ReelRank News staff writer @nezzkobedamned.bsky.social tackled a #film I'd likely never have thought to look into, the recent Jagged Edge Twisted Childhood Universe entry, Pinocchio Unstrung, which he found a superior addition to the canon: blog.reelrank.net/the-true-poo... #FilmSky 📽️ #HorrorSky 👻
The True Poohniverse Tentpole Has Arrived
After Pinocchio Unstrung, the future of Jagged Edge’s Twisted Childhood Universe suddenly looks bright

Matt is absolutely correct, Pinocchio Unstrung is a surprisingly good n' gory time. Went down really well in the screening I just came from too.
Matt Donato@donatobomb.bsky.social · 2w agoPINOCCHIO UNSTRUNG is legitimately good, and I'm just as surprised as you are. It's giving Seed of Chucky/Chucky (the TV show) vibes with a folkloric twist. A shockingly tender blend of whimsy and gore that's worth hearty laughs, plus rad puppetry!
New Episode 🐦⬛ // OPERA (1987): @garrettmcdowell.bsky.social & @daddydisco.bsky.social are forced to watch murders backstage! Sub-genres include: Giallo, meta horror, mystery, psychosexual thriller • #HorrorSky 🍎: bit.ly/4b3I2aj 🟢: bit.ly/4hxrGum
An upside this week is that I got to write about film again over at @reelrank.bsky.social. Marathon Man portays an all-too familiar world of unrest, hostility, and violence.

Neil is the rare enigma in media journalism, as in addition to being a stellar writer, he has a genuine willingness to mentor up and coming writers which makes him essential to any editorial team. Hire this MFer.
