Very happy to have seen Portal to Hell on the big screen at @mayhemfilmfestival.bsky.social, and to have shown it to my teen. More poignant the second time around.

Ben Wheatley's BULK was fun, but not my favourite of @mayhemfilmfestival.bsky.social.
And Event Horizon was as rubbish as I remembered... But I think it's fine for the late Saturday night shows to me mega low brow.
Looking forward to tomorrow's programme...

Man Finds Tape (@paulgandersman.bsky.social & @peterhallhuman.bsky.social, USA) is suddenly my favourite film of @mayhemfilmfestival.bsky.social so far, despite recognising two actors. Even Ben Wheatley will have to beat that.
