A film festival and industry summit celebrating disability, genre, and all that’s good in the world.
The supernatural psychological horror film, The Changeling, is this week’s must-watch recommendation. Originally released in 1980, its horror storytelling is still terrifying audiences today.

Does it still scare you when you re-watch it?

The next movie that should be on your must-watch list is 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. The fourth installment of the 28 Days Later film series, it’s even bloodier and more brutal than the preceding films. However, it is the human element woven throughout the story that makes it so striking. 🦴💀

Primate is a brutal horror film filled with graphic kills that will satiate slasher lovers, but its message about the power of a unified community is the true takeaway. 🩸🐒
