Got this in just under the wire. Loved it. Pulpy surrealist body horror gts vore fetish queer erotic thriller done right. Horror-adjacent. It counts!



Also rewatched Unwelcome (2023) and loved it more than the last time. I wish it would've leaned more into weirder territory but overall a fun and entertaining mess.

Watched the first installment of The Blackwell Ghost, a found footage movie with footage from supposed real spectral encounters found on the Internet. If you enjoy ghost stories or trawling for supernatural encounters on YT like myself I guess you might find something to like about this, but I found it kind of mid. There are like 7 more installments so who knows.

Anguish starring Zelda Rubenstein and Michael Lerner. Quite possibly Zelda Rubenstein's best role and that's stating a lot. Weird meta filmmaking for 1987. Highly recommended!

Late to the show but I just watched Possessor. Gyatt damn

Incantation had been flying under my radar for awhile but I am happy to report that it's a solid found footage entry into the "cursed film" subgenre. Super spooky storytelling with interlocking pieces that draws the viewer into the mechanics of the film. No jump scares or shaky camera work, just unadulterated unease and dread for almost two hours. A+

The Sentinel (1977)

United by Rosemary's Baby and Tod Browning's Freaks this crazypants slow burn occult horror gem has a stacked cast with Beverly D'Angelo masturbating, Burgess Meredith mincing about, a mustachioed Chris Sarandon, and Jerry Orbach. Not as famous as the other devil pictures of the 70s and that's a shame.

Companion was OK. Funny. Some dark spots but overall more of a comedy than straight horror. Harvey Guillén is good.

I love this one and agree that it should be at least as big as other '70s devil movies. This and The Visitor.

If anyone hasn't seen this enjoy the trailer:



It is quite a film.

I enjoyed Starve Acre.

The Ugly Stepsister is decent enough, maybe a teeeensy bit overhyped. Norwegian. Kinda Substance-y. A little bit funny. One scene in particular made me wince. B+
