Dear @severinfilms.bsky.social, why is the disk for Penda's Fen & Robin Redbreast in the #allthehauntsbeours vol 1 set region A only? And have I missed a whole previous discussion where you justified this? Any other discs in this, or vol 2, likewise restricted I should know about in advance?

Making my way through @severinfilms.bsky.social #allthehauntsbeours vol 1. I'd seen this before, and enjoyed it very much. I'm just not sure how it is #folkhorror.

At @kierlajanisse.bsky.social 's suggestion, many years ago, I watched this remarkable film for the first time. Finishing @severinfilms.bsky.social #allthehauntsbeours vol 1 - I'm so glad this film exists on Blu-ray now. Very strong recommendation!

I figured I should finish volume 1 of @severinfilms.bsky.social #allthehauntsbeours before moving on to volume 2. I bloody love this film! I first saw Clearcut at TIFF in '91, at the world premiere. I sat just a few seats away from Graham Greene. This is the film that made me a life long Greene fan!

I'd never seen this before. Cracker of a film, even if the ending is a bit abrupt.

St John's Wort: the first of the @arrowvideo.bsky.social #J-HorrorRising box set films I've actually liked. Or, at the very least, showed some originality to in it's storytelling.

Not wow-ed by this. A good story told by mediocre filmmakers. Part of @arrowvideo.bsky.social #J-HorrorRising box #folkhorror

This is a flick that deserves way more attention than it gets.

I'll grant that there are some effective moments in the film, but they're always the reverse shot of a jump scare.

This was ok. Engaging until a messy third act. Part of @arrowvideo.bsky.social #J-HorrorRising box set. #j-horror

Just watched The Bride from Hades. Not my favourite in @filmsradiance.bsky.social #DaieiGothic collection, but still very much worth watching. #folkhorror #JapaneseGhosts #Kwaidan
