For #ReadaRomanceMonth, I put together a list of cross-genre spice for every reader!

The WTF factor in #Weapons is really what makes it.

WEAPONS is a film that understands, at the molecular level, what it is to be uncomfortable, how that discomfort turns to tension, and where tension snaps into terror and hysteria.
I dug it.

It is an absolute delight to be completely taken surprise by a film. WEAPONS was totally unexpected, in every way. In its arsenal: unease, uncertainty, and unpredictable twists.

KING OF THE HILL has returned after 15 long years. This mega-fan, serial rerun-watcher, and self-identified Hank Sun-Dale Rising was not only satiated, but thrilled!

THE BEWITCHING by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Horror
In a sentence: Forces of darkness torment three women, across three generations.
Moody and sharp. Silvia Moreno-Garcia has outdone herself with this macabre mystery. Darkness that wraps around you, like velvet.

I went into the #KingoftheHill revival with the highest of expectations (series super fan that I am) -- and was blown away. THIS is how you evolve a property.

Female rage is my favorite genre. And @fantasiafestival.com is delivering the goods!
My recs on Simply Cinema:

#filmsky #fantasiafest2025
From @fantasiafestival.com: #Hellcat completely defies expectations! It flips genre conventions on its head to tease out a horror that is more thriller than gore-fest.

Horror films get a lot of love as some of the most interesting and impactful titles out there!
@fantasiafestival.com 2025 is no exception, with some of my most anticipated genres coming out of the horror category!
