Dust Bunny - The Forbidden Room What does a Bryan Fuller film look like? That’s what many of us were thinking when the man behind TV hits Dead Like Me, Pushing Daisies, Hannibal, and Star Trek Discovery teased Dust Bunny back in 202...

Bryan Fuller’s Dust Bunny plays out like a family friendly spin on Luc Besson’s Leon meets John Wick via Road Dahl and Tim Burton with the maximalist madness of Caro and Jeunet. A superb debut feature film from Fuller:

Ballerina is a totally worthy successor to the John Wick franchise and Ana de Armas is superb. Clearly someone saw her explosive cameo in No Time to Die and realised we needed a feature length film of her kicking ass, breaking bones, and getting into close quarters flamethrower fights.

I get you, I just got in the habit of calling it Ashton Hall since the do-up in 2017. Seems best known, now, as a fringe venue under the name Ashton Hall.

One of the most depressing double-bills I’ve ever watched. Some gorgeous locations and cool ideas, but such a far-cry from the creative genius and flare Dario Argento usually flaunts.

Mad that I got to be alive in the same era as Paul W.S. Anderson, Milla Jovovich, AND Resident Evil.

To make a treasure-hunting Mad Max-style action adventure this uninvolving is rough. Bad script (diabolical dialogue), flat characters, non-existent stakes, pointless aside from some brutal fight sequences. Sucks when it’s been in development since 2008! Expectations were low but damn.

Reflection in a Dead Diamond - The Forbidden Room Since 2009 Belgian duo Helene Cattet and Bruno Forzani have been crafting exquisite genre love letters. Their brand of eye-candy visuals and intensely sensuous sound design are instantly recognisable,...

HΓ©lΓ¨ne Cattet and Bruno Forzani’s latest film Reflection in a Dead Diamond is their best work yet; a kaleidoscopic love letter to psychedelic Euro spy films of the 60s and 70s. Sexy, brutal, beautiful, and utterly entrancing.

Brute 1976 starts off like the kind of schlocky throwback low-end slasher that’s made for watching with horror fans at horror festivals. Shame that bad acting and lack of editing make the third act a total slog. Kudos for the worst/best dick-related gore gag I’ve seen in donks, though.

The Children is one of the better B-Movie Troma films. Panned on release, it’s a surprisingly moody piece of zombie horror where radioactive kids incinerate unsuspecting adults with a touch of the hand. The solution? Chopping of said hands with a katana of course.

Checked out the Carpenter’s Village of the Damned. Great adaptation of Wyndham’s book; classic Carpenter vibes (shock, pulpy violence, sci-fi camp, a dose of nihilism) but quite tenderly explores the terror of forced pregnancy and it’s impact on the women of Midwich. #film #JohnCarpenter

First post on Blue Sky. Figured I’d try this since Twitter has become hot garbage.
