Just recorded a great new pair of episodes of Bill & Ashley’s Terror Theater. Gonna create an account for the podcast here soon!

So sorry to see this.

But the sixth lead of NewsRadio told me Donald Trump wouldn’t start a Middle East war

fell for it again award

I know I don’t post here half as much as I should. It’s bloody exhausting to try and keep numerous plates spinning without feeling like you’re repeating yourself in the most obnoxious way.

The Broadway Roots of the Cinematic Dracula — Crooked Marquee The two films that most informed our image of Dracula weren’t just based on Bram Stoker’s novel – they were also based on its Broadway adaptation.

Universal's classic 'Dracula' was released on this day in 1931. @billbria.bsky.social looked at the important influence of its earlier stage iteration: crookedmarquee.com/the-broadway...

I don’t see what the bible has to do with it but ok sure 😎

We've Seen 30 Minutes Of Project Hail Mary, And It Could Be 2026's Best Sci-Fi Movie - SlashFilm If the trailer for Project Hail Mary has you hype for Ryan Gosling's sci-fi flick, the first 30 minutes of footage will have you even more excited.

I got to see 30 minutes of PROJECT HAIL MARY, and instantly fell in love with what I saw. This could be a special one, folks.

Sundance 2026: The 10 Best Movies We Saw At The Festival, Ranked - SlashFilm From a musical-themed comedy to a documentary about the disappearance of glaciers, here are our favorite films from the 2026 Sundance Film Festival.

I watched 42 movies at Sundance. On today’s /Film Weekly, I talked about every single one with @ethananderton.bsky.social, and @billbria.bsky.social joined us for a dispatch from his time in Park City. The podcast is embedded in this article. Please read/listen! www.slashfilm.com/2093488/sund...

Putting it out there again that I'd be super honored to be commissioned for more Blu-Ray/4K work. Essays, commentaries, etc. Please reach out if you're a producer reading this!

As for where and how this cut will become available, I have no idea. But Lionsgate should absolutely release it on disc at the bare minimum. This is how it should be seen!

There’s one sequence toward the end which manages to recapture the twisted bleakness of the original Bertino film, too.

There’s no question that the movie should’ve been released this way all along. End multi chapter films! Bring back roadshows!

It’s THE STRANGERS: THE WHOLE BLOODY AFFAIR. Renny Harlin’s Rob Zombie’s HALLOWEEN II (complete with Moody Blues).

I got to see #TheStrangersMovie Trilogy tonight. All 3 chapters properly edited into a single film (with intermission) as originally envisioned. In this cut, it’s the most ambitious slasher film since TERRIFIER 2. Harlin’s a mad lad, & Madelaine Petsch is a helluva Final Girl.

Aw yay! Well we’ve got another banger here, imo. Stay tuned to see if Ashley thinks so, too, haha

'28 Years Later: The Bone Temple' Review - Nia DaCosta Delivers a Uniquely Intelligent and Grisly Sequel 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is unlike most horror sequels, pushing boundaries in the genre while saying something profound about humanity.

I was hoping to like #28YearsLaterTheBoneTemple , but I didn’t expect to love it so thoroughly, nor believe that it could reach (maybe even surpass) the heights set by its predecessor. But Nia DaCosta & co. pull it off! My review for @discussingfilm.net

tfw you think “I will enjoy my morning with my new Sound of Music 4K” only to have it shit the bed 14 mins in, discover reams of complaints of similar issues on message boards, and have to order a replacement instead

YouTube video by That Hashtag Show PRIMATE: Director Johannes Roberts Interview |

So happy to make my @thathashtagshow.bsky.social debut, speaking with director Johannes Roberts about PRIMATE! We chat about gore and chimp suits, take a look:

The energy we need right now

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

The US people can stop Trump but it’ll require you to increase pressure tenfold, the dial must be all the way up, especially around Mara-A-Lago and the White House. It must be made clear Trump & his regime have to go. It requires everyone, from boots on the streets to friendlies in the legislature.

@mhdksafa for the record: cops aren't supposed to kill guilty people either (from 2023)

Glad to see people paying attention to the horrors of ICE, which has been committing daily human rights violations under both party administrations. A few orgs you can support that are fighting the good fight:

I never anticipated how the RFK Jr. news headlines would be triggering, since I lost my father to Hepatitis B.

'Primate' Review - Killer Chimp Movie is All Gore and No Monkey Business Primate delivers on all of its promises as a classic creature feature; horror fans will be satisfied with the gnarly kills and awesome practical effects.

Johannes Roberts does it again, and by “it,” I mean make a visceral, delightfully mean-spirited, no frills horror thriller in PRIMATE. And to paraphrase Sia, I love chimp thrills! My review for @discussingfilm.net

all this is both foolish and unnecessary
