We broke our record! There are 45 events both virtual and in person as well watch parties happening at this year's festival. Grab a badge or some tickets and LETS HANG OUT.

I did not have time to write a full review, but BOUND is absolutely worth your time. It's an impressive indie directorial debut thriller with a compelling story, great cast, and an incredible performance from lead actress Alexandra Faye Sadeghian. On VOD now. 🎥 #filmsky youtu.be/1THkE7cMCII?...

Friendly reminder that Eli Roth has been a horrible person for a long time and you shouldn't be supporting him. Just saying.

Can't say I'm surprised this admin is doing exactly what some of us said they would do, but I still feel sick to my stomach watching what is happening in CA. Stay safe and stay strong LA. ❤️

Lots going on right now, but my review copy of THE MONKEY arrived. I have not seen this yet and will have a review of the Blu-ray and special features closer to release date. Available June 24th from Decal / Neon. 🎥 #filmsky #horrorsky

Peter Hall and Paul Gandersman’s MAN FINDS TAPE premiered at #Tribeca2025 last night. Theirs is a mystery thriller that straddles the realm of plausibility as it walks the line between technological paranoia and the deep dread of Lovecraftian horror in an assured debut. #filmsky

If there's one thing I've learned in my 44 years, it's that everything starts on the West Coast as the weirdest shit you've ever heard in your life--and within 15-20 years, it's just mainstream US culture. So, thank you, Los Angeles, you beautiful bastard. You are America.

Sorry to be so annoying but I wanted to share my eBay page again - we have to come up with $494 for our electric bill by 6/15 & it’s $331 to buy the dogs’ medicated food by 6/20 (w/out hers, Winnie will have seizures & Utah’s is for his gastric issues) so I’m hustling: www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?s...

This is amazing.

"It feels like the quintessential summer film." On the eve of its Cannes premiere, I hit the beach with Sean Byrne to discuss 10 years since THE DEVIL'S CANDY and the draw of DANGEROUS ANIMALS, his sharks-and-serial-killers spectacle, for @ebertvoices.bsky.social: www.rogerebert.com/interviews/h...

Excellent film with what I suspect will be wide appeal www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-...

A great way to spend a day is getting lost in Benson & Moorhead's mind-bending, endlessly fascinating universe with RESOLUTION (2012), THE ENDLESS (2017), and SYNCHRONIC (2019). On Tubi. 🎥 #filmsky #horrorsky

Unlike anything you’ve seen before. In select theaters this Friday 6/6 (everywhere 6/13) #TheLifeOfChuck @mikeflanaganfilm.com @neon-rated.bsky.social

I know this is probably the worst time to be asking for help but we really need a car. A used one, of course. If you aren't able to help, a share would be just as amazing. Thank you!! gofund.me/b031acc7

Thank you FANGORIA😭 available to watch on AMC + / SHUDDER / VINEGAR SYNDROME 💞

I nearly forgot to do a roundup of my writing for May. 🧵 For my international horror column, Horrors Elsewhere, I dug up The Mo Brothers' MACABRE / RUMAH DARA. It's an Indonesian splatter flick that demands a re-release. #HorrorSky #FilmSky #PhysicalMedia

Doing the thing I do when the news has got me feeling very down (often these days): donate. Today I'm donating to Rainbow Railroad, if anyone would like to join me. www.rainbowrailroad.org

The Grabber is back!! Cannot wait! 🎥 #filmsky #horrorsky

Great Queer horror movie recommendations here for you to watch this month! Happy Pride! 🎥 #filmsky #horrorsky

This no-kill animal shelter is in desperate need of kitten food, kitten milk replacement, and other supplies. If you post a screenshot in my replies showing that you donated at least $10 (even as a Chewy gift card), I'll answer a style-related question for you. Donation info in their thread.

hey all. this shelter needs some help feeding its kittens. there's a Chewy wishlist and a donation link in the thread. help out if you can!

For @elmntsofmadness.bsky.social, I reviewed the new Blu-ray edition of one of my favorite horror films, @luckymckee.bsky.social's MAY (2002). Some great special features on here. Read my thoughts at the link! 🎥 #filmsky #horrorsky

I’m an extremely forgiving horror fan but FEAR STREET: PROM QUEEN bothered me so much I had to stop what I was writing & start writing about this at like 2 AM. Lol. Anyway, here are my thoughts (no spoilers): thehorrorchick.substack.com/p/review-fea...

I shared this yesterday and I’m sharing it again today. Might share it every day until morale improves because the world truly hasn’t been the same since.
