#BlackPhone2 is now playing in theaters.
BLACK PHONE 2 is a bloodier, emotional follow-up that gets bogged down in Christian messaging — Moviejawn

"The unique flavor of dark humor that permeates Yorgos Lanthimos’s filmography lends itself to a style of storytelling that teases apart the complexities of human nature."

Vannah Taylor @sirendeathcult.bsky.social reviews BUGONIA from #FantasticFest.
Fantastic Fest 2025: BUGONIA is unexpectedly grounded for Yorgos Lanthimos—until it pulls the rug out from under you — Moviejawn
by Vannah Taylor, Associate Editor Much of the film is a horrific realism, capturing the distaste and distrust that divides Americans, and hitting a little too close to home.

MOTHER OF FLIES was one of my favorites from Fantastic Fest & it might be my favorite Adams Family film 🪰

The Adams Family conjures a poetic folk tale in MOTHER OF FLIES – Fantastic Fest 2025
Mother of Flies is haunting yet tranquil. The worlds that the Adams’ create are always moody, mysterious, and so cleverly constructed as to not show the seams of their impressively homegrown …

my tiktok feed lately has been entirely made up of videos about appalachia and i don’t know what to do with this information lol

lately, i have had random fleeting ideas that i have typed out (a few sentences, an interaction, a dream, just things that come to me that i feel compelled to write)—but a fully formed idea, a plot, a whole picture, still evades me

so excited to be going to my second Fantastic Fest! if anyone wants to work out a shared housing situation or lives in the Austin area and wouldn’t mind letting me couch surf—please let me know! 🤍🤍🤍

i had such a blast with this film at fantastic fest 2024, especially since i was excited to finally watch a horror film set in my area. when i realized that generative AI was used, i was gutted. i don’t understand how independent artists can use something that is such a threat to art!!!
STRANGE HARVEST is full of AI btw
