I’ve been pushing for a release of Jaganrei: Psychic Vision for a couple of years now, so much so that I am the person who holds / owns the HD upscale file and not AYA Pro, because I paid to get it done myself. Also shout out to @midnightmes.bsky.social who made the all new subtitles!

A proper release of Jaganrei Psychic Vision! The 49-minute 1988 “search-the-frame” “ghost-in-the-background” found footage J-Horror with dance horror elements! This film prefigured Ghostwatch, The Blair Witch Project and more or less all other J-Horror (so far as I’m aware). Truly we are blessed.

👻 @imprintfilms.bsky.social are releasing this box set curated by me and featuring the documentary THE J-HORROR VIRUS I made with @jaspersharp.bsky.social back in 2023. It also features an essay by me on Jaganrei: Psychic Vision and its collision at the origins of j-horror and found footage!

Great news form down under! THE J-HORROR VIRUS documentary I made with @sarahappleton.bsky.social is finally get a physical release in this amazing box set of early J-horror classics and obscurities from Japan. Oh yes, and I have a commentary on INSECT WOMAN too....

Very happy to be part of this hugely important boxset that will hopefully put an end to the ‘RING started J-horror’ fallacies 😜 thanks to the great @sarahappleton.bsky.social for the chance to write about Takahisa Zeze’s saga of sad wet womanhood KOKKURI 💧

Absolutely ecstatic to announce we finally got our passion project THE ORIGINS OF J-HORROR out into the world thanks to the amazing people at @imprintfilms.bsky.social - and to have our documentary THE J HORROR VIRUS on blu-ray as well is the icing on the cake!

Just to weigh in on the “sole female director at Venice” conversation… many women, like me, have written fiction feature films that have been considered good enough for great producers to onboard. Then they can’t get the funding because financiers don’t understand women’s perspective or “gaze”.

One of the topics we looked at in our documentary The Creeping Garden ten years ago was slime moulds place in debates about what constitutes intelligence. If you've not seen it, the Blu-ray is still available from @arrowvideo.bsky.social here: www.arrowfilms.com/p/the-creepi...

Is it a dealbreaker if he doesn’t find Curb Your Enthusiasm funny?

Of the 251 titles, 109 (43%) are made by female film-makers, but only two of the 21 gala films are directed by women. Continue reading...

I wonder if this is happening as a direct result of Obsession being clearly inspired by it?

Japanese horror movie PULSE is getting a remake at Sony Screen Gems & Spyglass. Dave Boyle is directing. In the original, young people experience strange phenomena involving missing co-workers and friends, technological breakdown, and a mysterious website. Source: @deadline.com
