28 YEARS LATER is a loud, chaotic, defiantly British horror epic that blends digital chaos with folk horror unease, soaking its zombie tropes in grief, moss & post-Brexit malaise. Bullet time & bodycams crash up against coastal rot & communal tensions. The more I sit with it, the more I love it. 📽️ 🧟

I don’t think Saulnier has ever topped the one-two punch of Blue Ruin and Green Room (sorry, Rebel Ridge fans, but that was decidedly mid)… but I do like the sound of the Halloween setting for this one 👀

RIP Shiho Fujimura. Perhaps best known for her genre film work at Daiei Studios including Shinobi (aka Ninja: Band of Assassins) (1962) and the iconic titular role in The Snow Woman (1968). 📽️ 👻 ❄️

You haven’t seen the pilot episode of Twin Peaks until you’ve seen it projected from the previously unscreened 35mm print they used as the master to make the tv tapes. ❤️‍🔥 Genuinely glorious, beautiful cinematography… and Kyle MacLachlan in attendance too.

Honestly, my StokerCon has been quite quiet: no bar crawls (not invited), no readings (missed the boat), no selfies (everyone’s busy). But this? This meant everything. Lecturing, teaching, horror academia; this is where I belong. Turning deep dives into digestible dread. Now, hire a bitch. 🖤🖤🖤

Still tickets available to join Sohome Horror Pride! A weekend-long virtual film festival that should sate your need for chills and scares! Pay what you think is appropriate, and get pleasantly terrified in your own domicile. 😱

Brian Blessed gave the closing address at a data governance conference in a Brighton hotel. He passed me in a corridor & asked where the toilets were. I wondered if I should ask for a selfie when he came back, but before I could he was accosted by some drunk data managers and the moment was lost.

This was projected from a technicolor 35mm print - zero colour fading compared to the eastmancolor prints they had in the US. 💕 Looked gorgeous, zipped along, everyone laughed when Porkins died. Superb experience. Thanks, BFI!

At the movies, to see possibly the best American film about the Vietnam War.

This is why Mountainhead is good actually… it nails so much about these guys: the narcissistic psychopathy, bordering on psychosis; the maddening fear of entropy and death that stems from that; and the desire to retreat into fantasy and pull others in with them - like this example.

Thinking about curmudgeonly old Alain Delon’s bratty reaction to people comparing Takeshi Kitano’s Sonatine to Le Samouraï. (I’m team Sonatine.)
