If you haven’t seen it, Werner Herzog gets the best out of Nic Cage in the way he once did with Klaus Kinski — w/ Cage playing the drug addicted degenerate cop in NOLA right around the Hurricane Katrina fallout. It’s so insane that you end up actually rooting for him.

To all the folks enjoying “La Llorona” for #folkhorrorfriday, I highly recommend “Rita” by the same director, Jayro Bustamante. It deals with very difficult (real world) horror and tragedy with a similar delicate touch.

Horror ppl should watch Hell-Bound Train (James & Eloyce Gist, 1930) on @criterionchannl.bsky.social. The Gists were Black evangelists & amateur filmmakers who used their films in their sermons. This film is a catalogue of sins. Even w/ no budget, it has surprisingly haunting moments throughout.

FOOL FOR LOVE (1985) Now playing in our Robert Altman collection on the Criterion Channel! Built around explosive performances from Sam Shepard ( #BOTD) and Kim Basinger, Altman's adaptation of Shepard's play is a simmering drama set amid a dreamlike vision of the American West.
