Had an amazing time at @mayhemfilmfestival.bsky.social last weekend as ever. Highlights: Bone Lake (a twisty erotic thriller with great gore effects), Dead by Dawn (an inventive and very Polish neo-giallo) and Redux Redux (lo-fi sci-fi with a Terminator vibe), plus Bulk, Portal to Hell and Mag Mag.

Now the dust has settled a little, a big thanks to everyone who came to Mayhem this year, especially our fantastic guests. Loved having so many terrific Q&As, and hoping very much to see all these filmmakers back at the festival in the future.
