Really, really loved this, guys. There's a lot going on here that truly tears down and rebuilds what was going on in the first season. Must watch stuff. #TheCreepTapes

"THE CREEP TAPES’ second season is a solid upgrade from its freshman year. These six new episodes channel the tension and terror of the first season, but through surprising and subversive storytelling that seeks to challenge found footage and horror as a whole," @danielkurlansky.bsky.social writes:
‘The Creep Tapes’ Season 2 Is More Evil and Unpredictable Than Before [Review]
The Creep Tapes is back for a stronger and more surprising second season that digs deeper into the fractured mind of a chameleonic killer and the nature of identity. “I think you need to consider more...

There's so much I like about INCOMPLETE CHAIRS, even though it's far from perfect. Shades of AUDITION/AMERICAN PSYCHO/JUNJI ITO. Oddly the perfect double-feature with NO OTHER CHOICE. @bloody-disgusting.com @brooklynhorror.bsky.social #BHFF #BrooklynHorror

I can sometimes be "yeah whatever" about MY HERO ACADEMIA, but that was genuinely perfect television. Really satisfying to see a series so thoroughly stick the landing in every regard, on their terms. Bakugo! #anitwt #MyHeroAcademia #Bakugo @crunchyroll.com @myheroacademia.bsky.social

To me, BLACK PHONE 2 felt like the perfect synthesis of everything Scott Derrickson and @crobertcargill.bsky.social have been playing around with for years. There's even some HELLRAISER going on in here. Keep stoking this fire, guys. @bloody-disgusting.com

NEW GROUP is exactly my type of shit. Junji Ito meets Sion Sono, with shades of HUMAN CENTIPEDE thrown in for good measure. Yûta Shimotsu is one to keep an eye on because we need more madness like THIS. @bloody-disgusting.com @brooklynhorror.bsky.social
