"Parasomnia is a boring collection of horror movie clichés that don't add up to anything interesting, scary, or even visually stimulating. There are jump scares that don't make you jump or feel scared. There's lore for the boogeyman guy that doesn't pique the imagination." boxd.it/gmoCdr #horrorsky

"Hoskins' performance still works... both in Eddie's surpressed grief and his remarkably physical ability to keep up with a cartoon rabbit who isn't there... Christopher Lloyd plays his villain like the Grand Master of Boris Karloff University, total kindertrauma material." boxd.it/gm4dHr #FilmSky

"...while it's no classic, Mystery Broadcast is probably the cutest murder mystery I've seen in a while that didn't star a bunch of sheep... it's brisk, funny, entertaining, and manages to keep enough scenes draped in spooky shadows to keep me happy." boxd.it/glIgIj #FilmSky #mysterysky #PovertyRow
A ★★★ review of Mystery Broadcast (1943)
Any movie from the 30s or 40s that's centered around radio broadcasting is bound to be something that I'll gravitate towards. And, while it's no classic, Mystery Broadcast is probably the cutest murde...

The only reason I knew this wasn't an Onion parody was that the picture of Patel didn't have his eyes bugging out while he was doing something awful to an animal just below camera frame. Why hasn't the ghost of Hoover poltergeisted the ever-lovin' shit out of this guy yet?

A ★★★★½ review of One from the Heart (1982)

"Armand Assante is the perfect archetypal Odysseus, much as Errol Flynn matched the ideal Robin Hood that the inner child demands... Although he only has about a minute of screen time as Tiresias, Christopher Lee makes the most of it: utterly imposing and terrifying." boxd.it/gjwQId #TheOdyssey

The political and cultural response to 9/11 was to briefly mouth some "Islam is not to blame" platitudes and then declare total war on Muslim people and the Muslim world and we're entering the 25th year of it with no end in sight.
Ed Burmila@edburmila.bsky.social · last wk.If nothing else, this book deserves your attention because it refutes what is becoming an alarming consensus talking point in the center that 9/11 brought out the better angels of our nature - a delusional distortion of reality that is true only for one value of "our."
And suddenly, the realization hit me, like... like a shiny metal flying sphere with fancy knives ramming into my forehead. #horrorsky

Odenkirk battles against small town Trump America, Cagney lets his blood boil over a New York taxi war, and Na Hong-jin's alien invasion mega-battle was so amazing that I had to see his ten year old horror tale of evil swallowing a community of people. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched
Letterboxd@letterboxd.social · 6d agoHappy #LetterboxdFriday! Time to post your #LastFourWatched 🔮
Twenty-five years. A quarter of a century since 9/11, the day I was here in New York and everything changed. If you weren't here, you don't know what it was like. The feel of it, the smell of it, could never come through a television. It's haunted my life ever since. Remembering.
"Kwak Do-won effectively conveys the shattered resolve of a father who can't rely on anything to protect his child, whether it be rational thought, aggressive force, blind faith, inner resolve, or even pure instinct. Evil refuses to play fair." boxd.it/ghjmwR #FilmSky #horrorsky #koreancinema
