Jenna Ortega’s phone ringing off the hook right now.

My favourite film of the year so far.

From the UK’s very popular Sugar Boycott (1791-1792) onwards, there have always been People Like This. If Lisa Nandy had been around then, she’d have definitely been in the pocket of Big Cake.

I feel like there’s a kind of grinding inevitability that this year’s LFF opening film will be The bloody Thursday Murder Club. 😔

Moving in the right direction… 📽️ #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

I’ve seen all but SCREAM BLACULA SCREAM. 👀 #horrorsky #blacksky #filmsky

tfw you don’t delegate a single goddamned shot

THE MONKEY is out from today. It’s goofy fun that monkeys around in every respect other than the gore, where it drums up some pretty savage kills. This cursed toy flick is a good, silly time at the cinema with plenty of decapitations and exploding people. Horror fans should check it out! 📽️ 👻

Can’t wait for Amazon’s algorithmic James Bond Extended Slop Universe. Q resurrects Cyborg Felix Leiter to hunt down Bond’s clone; a Moneypenny cooking show; Young M (Pete Davidson); and Agent XXX take a road trip through the vineyards of Italy & solves murders. Each one cancelled after 2 seasons.

All my life, I’ve wanted to be a ‘buster.

Ooh la la! (the la stands for lacerations). 🇫🇷 📽️ 🔪 ❤️

My 4000th diary entry on Letterboxd was for Hideaki Anno’s RITUAL (2000). I was aiming to make it a good one. I failed! 🫠 📽️

As AC/DC sang, "If you want blood, you got it!" Oz Perkins's new installment in generational trauma terror hits the horror beats and pulls on the heartstrings...also sometimes siblings REALLY suck. Check my review on #NightTideMag nighttidemag.com/2025/02/19/s...

Viewers at London preview screenings of Osgood Perkins’ latest comedy-horror THE MONKEY have been given a treat if they stay through the end credits… a teaser trailer for his next horror film, KEEPER. 📽️ 👻 #horrorsky #filmsky

The Hearse (1980) is on Plex (alas in a pan-and-scan version). Has anyone else seen this small-town horror movie? 📽️ 👻
