Today’s best second-hand buy. Been after this for ages, primarily because of the fantastic Barbara Walton-designed cover.
A vintage hardback book - No Medicine For Murder by Jeanne Wilson. The illustrated cover shows a dark-haired woman in a tan dress. She is on the midst of stopping a glass of red wine and her eyes are wide in shock.

An interesting calenderial coincidence between The Devil Rides Out (1968) and The Wicker Man (1973), both screened @offscreenff.bsky.social. Also, and slightly concerning: my daughter's birthday.

Tomorrow at 7:00 PM, I'll be introducing DEAD MAIL (2024) at the Offscreen Film Festival in Brussels. The film follows employees at a Mail Recovery Center whose job leads them to uncover a kidnapping. If you're a fan of the Coen brothers, you’ll love this one.

Tomorrow night, I’ll be introducing SUNTAN (2016), my favorite film from Offscreen's Weird Greece program. Sun-drenched, darkly funny, and unsettling. A trip to a Greek island you'll never forget!

📷 March 26 > 09:30 PM > Cinema Nova, Brussels

I think about at least one of these films usually once every few weeks. Absolutely brilliant & well worth checking out if you're able.

Arms breaking out of a gravelly grave, zombie style. An English schoolboy sits in a grassy field, watched over by a golden angel with wings.

Bong Joon Ho just used his Q&A before John Carpenter’s The Thing at the @AcademyMuseum to ask him to score his next next film — a horror flick — and Carpenter said yes!

Magical evening at the movies!

Some of the decor at Cinema Nova in Brussels during @offscreenff.bsky.social Could it be The Lair of the White Worm?
Some pink netting, a length of rope, an old mirror and the head of a large greenish-white worm. A length of rope, an old mirror and the head of a large greenish-white worm. The head of a large greenish-white worm.

Tonight, Monday 24 March, I'm talking to Miguel Llansó about his semi-Afro-futurist, wholly bonkers films CRUMBS (2915) & JESUS SHOWS YOU THE WAY TO THE HIGHWAY (2019), showing at Cinema RITCS in Brussels. One of low-budget indie cinema's most visionary, original, exhilarating voices.

Yesterday had a whale of a time talking to the mighty @paulduane.bsky.social in a Q&A about his uniquely deranged ALL YOU NEED IS DEATH at @offscreenff.bsky.social in Brussels, part of our Haunted Isles Folk Horror & Wyrd retrospective. Good, non-rambling questions from the audience this time.

An epic quest through astonishing landscapes, starring the extraordinary Daniel Tadesse. Another bonkers delight from Miguel Llansó; I'll be talking to him afterwards to see if I can work out where he gets his mad ideas from.

Will @theacademyusa.bsky.social use its worldwide prominence to speak up for an Oscar-winning director? Hamdan Ballal was attacked and seriously injured—and the IDF arrested HIM while he was in the ambulance. No charges, no sign of him since. Where are you, AMPAS? chng.it/dzMJYfSbqM
Can you spare a minute to help this campaign?
