Get it while it's hot, y'all!

Get some weird vibes in yer eyeballs.

Culty preachers, generational trauma and respect for the fauxcumentary/found footage genre.

For fans of "We're all going to the world's fair", "Butterfly Kisses" and "The Blair Witch Project".
MAN FINDS TAPE is out today in the UK thanks to @vertigorel.bsky.social! I hope horror fans over there have fun with our weird, creepy movie.

Honestly, I absolutely LOVED "Man Finds Tape".

Unexpected twists, good acting (not a given in found footage/fauxcumentary I'm afraid).

Probably my favorite "really different take" on the genre since "Butterfly Kisses".

Man Finds Tape stands apart from the increasingly stuffy trappings of its format by telling an inspired, expansive story.

Kelsey Pribilski, star of MAN FINDS TAPE is absolutely INSANE in this. Do not miss it.
Shall we start with the Midnighters*?

The first wave of the 2026 SXSW Film & TV Festival lineup is here! A crazy great year, and while I’m sure there’s some buzzy films you already know about, I think it’s particularly strong for films that probably aren’t on your radar. Especially for genre film...

Fangoria was so fundamental to my interest not just in horror, but filmmaking in general.

Having MAN FINDS TAPE in its pages is a literal high school dream come true.

28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE is the goods; my favorite sequel of the bunch (so far).

Nia DaCosta's follow-up is a richer and even more daring examination of the best bits about 28 YEARS LATER, with an all-time Ralph Fiennes performance and killer soundtrack.
Review: Nia DaCosta's 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE is a Splendid Step-Up from Its Predecessor - Daily Dead
Nia DaCosta can, and continues to, do it all. Months ago, she released Prime Video’s elegant awards-season hopeful, Hedda. Before that, she entered the Marvelverse. Now, she makes Danny Boyle and Alex...

28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE absolutely rules. I thought the previous one was good, but felt like a lot of setup. This one pays off in a huge way. Was not expecting to be this high on it. Definitely see it asap as the internet is gonna spoil the shit outta this.

28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE - 2026 starts with an absolute fucking banger. Even better than 28 YEARS LATER, this expands the world in amazing and unexpected ways. Ralph Fiennes and Jack O’Connell are tremendous. DO NOT MISS IT. This is THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK of this series. Not kidding.

Man Finds Tape & The Man With The Black Umbrella are both really creepy films you should see

Someone should make a movie about people who, when presented with video evidence of wrong doing, go blind and are incapable of seeing the proof in front of their eyes.

It could even be a horror movie...
