EVIL DEAD TRAP is fucking NASTY. Extreme cinema transmutation of contemporary 80’s horror flairs - the sleaze of slasher schlock, the neon-splatter of Giallos, the existential cruelty of J-Horror - all of which are funneled via snuff video static and gruesome textures.

FRANKENSTEIN (2025) | Genuinely glad someone spent this much money to make a mid-tier Hammer sequel, and that GDT finally got to make his self-insert Frankenstein fanfic. Good for him.

Well, I have a new reason to stay alive. Looks like Koji Shiraishi directed a new thing (KINKI, 2025) that is reliably being called his most NOROI-ish project since NOROI *and* it's based on a novel that's getting a translation later this year or early next.

A while back, I wrote a cover story about Godzilla movies for @unwinnable.com and was lucky enough to get one of my favorite kaiju artists to do the cover. As of today, I have the original of that drawing in my possession. Thanks to @xenofauna.bsky.social and @stuhorvath.com for making it happen.

Alright so, A) we'll see how I feel on a rewatch but I am currently pretty mixed on GDT's NIGHTMARE ALLEY and B) I hate Criterion's propensity for weird packaging instead of just putting their discs in a case like a normal person, BUT this Thomas Ott artwork and design fucking rules.

I feel like the lowest hanging fruit that politicians and political hopefuls should take away from Mamdani's victory is that maybe politicians should try *not* exuding a seething, visceral, barely-contained disgust for their constituents at all times, for a change.

If you, like me, are hyped over all the wins last night and live in KC and want to bask in the power of collective action (and also archival footage), you should come to Stray Cat Film Center on Friday for WTO/99, the Badass Doc That Could:

When we already have a decades-old movie that is perfect against all odds, just let it rest. Don't perform horrible necromancy to try to animate it into some grotesque mockery of the thing you love. Enjoy what we already have. Let something new grow, instead.
