Today I read @blsaycewrites.bsky.social’s review of the @secondsightfilms.bsky.social POSSESSION release, because I waited too long to purchase mine like an IDIOT and now it’s sold out, so I need to soothe/hurt myself further with Becci’s wondrous words 🦑

Thrilled to share my first physical release contribution of 2026.

I worked with @vinsyn.bsky.social sister label OCN on Ross Partridge's Birthrite, which I caught at @sohohorrorfest.bsky.social last year.

I have been really bad at posting my work here the last few months, but in 2026, I'm forcing myself to get back into it. I wrote some stuff down that I was proud of achieving in 2025, and I hope the next 12 months are just as wild.

Hey, so this shouldn't need to be a top tip, but to review films, you should probably actually watch them in the first place. But what do I know?

In my work haze, I forgot to share that my contributor copy of @secondsightfilms.bsky.social The Innkeepers arrived, and she is gorge. Grab your copy now to read my essay on mental health in Ti West's haunted house film. Thanks as ever to @phillipescott.bsky.social for the opportunity

I've been very quiet over here of late trying to keep on top of commissions and festival content and other exciting things, but there will be a lot of FrightFest stories dropping over the weekend so keep your eyes peeled ✨️

My latest review for @moviejawn.com is now live! I didn't vibe with this, and you can find out why right now at the link below
I'm always finding footage on my phone, but apparently 'found footage' doesn't mean TikTok.

HOUSE ON EDEN blurs those lines, with TikTok star Kris Collins writing, directing and starring in this found footage horror film about paranormal investigator influencers, writes @blsaycewrites.bsky.social.

It's no secret how much I love Talk To Me, and Bring Her Back is also probably on the same level. So to get to speak to Danny and Michael Philippou all about their work was a real pinch-me moment. Full version in the next @filmhounds.co.uk
