This was my first time checking out Alejandro Amenábar's (The Others) debut film #Thesis and MAN what a debut. Why did Joel Schumacher make 8MM when he could have just remade this?

A dark haired woman touches the image of a man on a TV screen
The snuff film thriller is led by an enterprising College student surrounded by hot men, any of whom might be the balacava-wearing killer seen on screen. And while the reveal isn't exactly a whodunnit, the 2+ hour film is never boring.

Plus: a full timeline of the complicated production; wanting more Gale & the Meeks-Martin twins; a rant about questionable marketing ties; and where Scream 8 should go.

Is this the weakest entry in the franchise? The critic scores say yes, but the opening weekend Box Office says no.
We're...somewhere in the middle: we love that first act, but the screenplay's lack of commentary on the genre and the predictable killer(s) reveal are shit.
Today on Patreon: Stock up on your Little Latte order because we are headed to Pine Grove to lure Sidney Prescott...er...Evans out of retirement with Kevin Williamson's #Scream7.

While Trace was away, Joe reunited with @joshuatonks.bsky.social to discuss Kevin Williamson's 1999 directorial debut.
With his return to the director's chair with Scream 7, expect plenty of speculation about both direction and script, which was notoriously toned down in the wake of Columbine.
Practice your sewing skills because we're moving into the bunker with Dan Trachtenberg's 10 CLOVERFIELD LANE (2016).
Starring a powerhouse trio, the spiritual sequel - or is it shared cinematic universe? - is a tense potboiler that we can easily see working as a play.
