#nw killing of a sacred deer for a podcast tonight. I have to ask - why does this have such a strong reputation? I don't get it. I say this as a fan of Lanthimos's work, for the most part, but this one, it's just not doing much for me.

#nw Prince of Darkness (1987) for a podcast recording later. I know full well how unpopular an opinion this is, but it is one of my favourite Carpenter movies. Mainly as it falls in a favourite horror genre, "sciencing spooky shit", you could call it sci-fi horror but it doesn't capture the vibe.

#Announcement

Uncut is changing in the new year, evolving.

Well, half of it is. Of the two episodes we do every month, one of those will be staying the same, no changes, same old same old.The other one, however, will be a brave new world.

The new half will be called Uncut Presents...

I know I'm late to say this, nearly a week after its screening, but that mask in Self-Help was blatantly not Jesus - it was Nicolas Cage.

I mean, it's blatantly him.

Set the ball rolling for the next 2 episodes of Uncut following the series 5 frightfest opener. The plan is for F.W. Murnau and "Gakuryu" Sogo Ishii. A wild potential twofer for a podcast defined two cool left turns.

It's that time of the year.

Looking to cast the new season debut, we will be a video pod going forward. And, this one is our traditional @frightfest.bsky.social special.

Interested? Where you there? Get in touch!

The capsule hotel I stayed at for my first frightfest. Including a climb to the top which was about a good foot taller than the 6ft 2 me.

Damn, it's been a challenge. So if you too fancy a challenge, go for it. Otherwise, maybe err on the safe side.
August 25, 2025 at 7:22 AM
Ready and prepped for my first @frightfest.bsky.social. Now just to wait until silly 'o clock for the coach. It comes at 12:45am, and I'll get into London around 6:50am.

I'm going for X-ray on my hand on Tuesday. Of all the times to mess myself up, now is probably the worst. Left hand has been swollen for the last two weeks and now I can only bend it one way. Hopefully I don't rock up to frightfest with a pot on my hand. hell of a way to introduce myself, I guess?

The short film has a poster. And with this final render, its done done. Been editing since May 29th, too long.
July 20, 2025 at 8:52 PM
One of the things I have been teasing and am most proud of is @realrobynadams.bsky.social.

She came on and absolutely knocked it out of the park creating some original music for the project, it absolutely elevates LAST SOCK to the next level. So happy with how it's turned out #horror

Thank you.

In other news. The short film I have been working on is finally finished. 6 weeks of editing (not constant, evenings and weekends) should tell you how much work needed to be done.

Super Proud of it and everyone involved.

New Podcast and Series 4 finale is now live on all podcast providers. Me and Graham talk about David Lynch, he is a fully signed up lifer - I'm much earlier on my journey. Either way, it makes for good listening #podernfamily

#nw David Lynch's most misunderstood and undeservingly overlooked movie, the Straight Story. For a podcast about the man, which is the series 4 finale.
July 7, 2025 at 8:56 PM
I'm not a big anime watcher anymore. However, for research of short film number 2. Which, yes, I am starting already. Hell Girl (Jigoku Shoujo) has been recommended. It's a curse based story inspired by East Asian Curse Stories. Incantation, The Inerasable and the Wailing came up too.
July 7, 2025 at 3:46 PM
Yes, that timeline is a lot.

Nonetheless, the first cut for "the last sock you'll ever need" is in the bag. 16 and a half minutes, much longer than anticipated, but anticipate nothing I guess.

Really proud of myself, getting back at it after so long "off the horse".
June 22, 2025 at 8:12 PM
Slowly but surely it's coming nicely, first edit complete with some sound effects and design - not the full picture by any means. I think this is going to end up longer than the drafted 10 pages.
June 15, 2025 at 5:03 PM
New Episode on which @sinistercinemastudios.art is introduced into the fold. He joins myself, @sarahjomiles.bsky.social and @rpish.bsky.social, to talk about Horror anime of the 80s & 90s. We talk about these 3, 1 of which is an absolute all timer.

And with this photo, we have wrapped on the last sock you'll ever need.

Now, onto the editing.

#nw burnt offerings. Can't watch any discs as i haven't replaced my blu ray player after selling the PS5 yet, plus I'm paying off some tech bits and pieces. So, to prime watchlist we go for a first timer.
May 24, 2025 at 8:53 PM
This months bandcamp purchases.

I love Billy Woods, he is the one hip hop artist that I'll buy new records from on sight. Jpegmafia being another. But for Billy Woods new LP, damn, as amazing as it is, I can never say what it's called.

There's also some punk, noise rock and J-pop in the mix.
May 24, 2025 at 8:57 AM
Continuing my alphabetical, early catch up of 2025 general release movies (UK). Night 2, #nw dead mail.
May 19, 2025 at 7:46 PM
The first day shoot was a roaring success yesterday, and I'll be honest, this clapper board is such a small thing but it's so validating.
May 4, 2025 at 11:47 AM
New Episode #podcast in which we introduce @indiaysabel.bsky.social to the Uncut family. She joins myself, Graham & @autistichorror.bsky.social to talk about Deerskin, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, and a movie that I probably owe an apology #podernfamily

#nw vampire hunter d, this is for an 80s/90s anime horror episode of the pod. Also a first timer, as is another one of the movies we are doing.

The final of the three, well, that is a masterpiece and a blatant giallo. No more clues though, you'll just have to wait for that episode to drop
