Hey, video games!

I play A LOT of games.
They're a good mix, but mostly story driven.

Once again, I have forgotten to talk about my year in review. So here's the little thread 🧵
#VideoGames 🎮
This is the vibe I crave!
The camerawork is vibrant and dazzling. The acting is great. The plotting is brisk and fun, with scheming and double-crosses galore.
I love it so much, this one's a treasure!
📽
A Hyena in the Safe (1968)
Cesare Canevari (writer/ director)

Time for a giallo caper!
Some robbers get together to divide up the stolen diamonds and Uh-oh! No one can be trusted!
I need more of these pre- Crystal Plumage gialli in my life.

Oof! Devastating!
Five stars!

The Beast (2023)
Bertrand Bonello (writer/ director)

Finally getting to this one.
I like what I've seen of Bonello's films (the prior three), so I've had this in the queue for a bit.

Red Spirit Lake (1993)
Charles Pinion (co-writer/ director)

Surreal, over the top, shot on video folk horror witch revenge movie.
Supremely strange!

More of the same from Ormond. And by 'the same', I'm talking about actors bumbling their waty through bargain basement bible story recreations.
And bloody burned people overacting in hell.
And June Ormond performing some madcap children's theater as 'The witch of Endor'.
It's marvelous nonsense!
📽
The Grim Reaper (1976)
Ron Ormond (writer/director)

Once again, Ron Ormond is going to try scaring you into becoming a believer!
The plot involves a woman's son who dies in a race car accident. She has visions of him in hell and other demonic mish-mash.

One of the better movies from Twemlow and his pals!

Sure, there are lots of scenes involving someone sitting in ambient sound while nothing happens, but it's a most peculiar and exciting kind of nothing. A real tangible sense of place: a chair in a room on a spaceship.
📽
Firestar: First Contact (1991)
David Kent-Watson (director)

Starting off with a shot on video Cliff Twemlow sci-fi movie.
I'm excited to see how they do the spaceship interiors on a micro-budget.

Finished my first big video game of 2026... which is a game from two years ago.

Final Fantasy XVI

Gotta say, I didn't love it.
It's a technical marvel, for the most part. The action is really fun. The people and quests in the Hideout are great. 1/-

What a hoot!
There's possibly three movies stuffed into 2 and a half hours, and much of it is told in a filmmaking style that felt like calligraphy brush strokes. So many stylistic flourishes all edited together.

Might frustrate some, but I was dazzled. I loved it and I want more!
📽
They Call Him OG (2025)
Sujeeth (writer/ director)

From what little I know, this is a prequel of sorts for the same fictional setting as Saaho.

Do you like nonsense and hi-jinks? Because that's what the first half of this is. Fortunately, that's my kind of comedy.
After a while, the gang gets tangled up with some ninja and a Japanese magician.
Can you say 'wizard battle'!?
📽
Ghosts Galore (1983)
Hsu Hsia (director)

Uh-oh, a black magic wizard (Lo Lieh) is up to no good! Goofballs Chin Siu-ho and Chiang Kam are gonna have to stop him.
Hwang Jang-lee shows up as another magician.

Night of the Living Dead (1999)
Tom Savini (director)

Grabbed the 4k UHD of this. First time I've seen it since the '90s. I like it, with just a few minor nitpicks.
Patricia Tallman and Tony Todd are great.
Adds more societal critique.

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (1973)
John Newland (director)

Made for TV horror from the director of The Legend of Hillbilly John.
Saw it on tv in the '70s. I would've been nearly 6 when it aired, but I watched a lot of horror at that age.

If you're familiar with the Ramsay plot structure, you know what you're getting - a set-up with intrigue, lots of comedy and musical numbers, and a terrific finale.
It's all quite entertaining.
Asha Bhosle is one of the playback singers.
Hotel (1981)
Tulsi Ramsay and Shyam Ramsay (directors)

A guy wants to build a hotel on the site where he met his lost love... surely the land isn't haunted or cursed.
Been enjoying the Ramsay films. Thisnone only has 77 Letterboxd views!?

Spent the night reexperiencing those weird few months with this ding-dong.

Rushmore (1998)
Wes Anderson (co-writer/ director)

Anderson's Shakespearean comedy, from start, through romantic social mishaps, madcap escalation, to big ending.

It's all played for light laughs with a spooky castle setting.
George Hilton looks like he's having a great time as the vampire.
The four guests run around, screaming and panicking like in an old slapstick comedy.
Probably my least favorite of the set but I had a good time.
📽
Dinner With a Vampire (1989)
Lamberto Bava (co-writer/ director)

I don't think I've seen this.
I know it's about a director who invites some actors to a dinner- but he's actually a vampire who wants them to kill him... before he kills them.

Very mixed on this.
I love the story it's telling.
Mads, Sophie Sloan, and Sheila Atim are terrific.
It's very well made. I like that much is shot from low angles, ya know, because it's Aurora's story.
I hate the whimsical score. And much of the tone. This kind of comedy doesn't work with me.
📽
Dust Bunny (2025)
Bryan Fuller (writer/ director)

I've been waiting to see this since I knew it was being made. And ya know what? All I know about it is the one-line premise.

A Satanic cult, nurse sexcapades, possession, murder... there's a lot in here.
There's even a black guy whose grandmother was from Haiti ('voodoo') who gave him a magic bracelet and the plot solution. Her ghost also apparently helped him win football games?
It's a mess, and I don't hate it.
📽
Nurse Sherri (1977)
Al Adamson (director)

Looks like Adamson is throwing nurse, possession, and sexploitation genres into his blender.
A nurse gets possessed by the spirit of a cult leader and goes on a murder spree.
