One of my favorite pieces I’ve done for @splittoothmedia.bsky.social. Check out my look at Antoine Pellissier’s moody, atmospheric super 8 epic
Split Tooth Media@splittoothmedia.bsky.social · 10mo agoDespite its utter obscurity and incomplete status, the mysterious three-hour ‘Les Proies du Mal’ may be Antoine Pellissier’s masterpiece. @valbarano.bsky.social explores the remains of the 1982 underground horror epic.
The slug-paced, staticky madness of 'Sledgehammer' feels like it was beamed in from another dimension. A classic of 1980s shot-on-video horror, 'Sledgehammer' makes for ideal late night viewing.
‘Sledgehammer’ (1983): Watch the Pot — How It Boils! - Split Tooth Media
The early shot-on-video horror classic creates a sense of insular terror with its unconventional, sludgy style.

Beyond excited to share this look at Pellissier’s incredible first film.

I’m back for October Horror at @splittoothmedia.bsky.social. Head over to check out my look at Sandusky, OH’s Blade Independent Studio and their 1996 vampire feature A Darker Light. I’ve been working for two years to piece their story together, more to follow www.splittoothmedia.com/a-darker-lig...
