In my latest for @bloody-disgusting.com I take a look at the new wave of religious horror and why it is happening now.

True story: you can go to the search function and type in the words "pay rent" and find dozens of people facing eviction posting each hour, for whom a small collection of strangers tossing $25 in the hat can mean the difference between a warm bed and the street, and reader, it feels so good to do.

I spoke with #Pillion director Harry Lighton and star Harry Melling about bringing the film to life, including the intimate scenes Lighton deliberately chose not to show in a film bold enough to feature Colin giving Ray a hummer in a back alley.

Shout out to @momoshaty.bsky.social and @nighttidemag.bsky.social for letting me get this off my chest.
Awards season plays in our faces every year and itβs time to stop pretending itβs a surprise every single time and actually do something.
Ghostface is literally all over my house, so it pains me to say that the SCREAM franchise ended with SCREAM VI. The fact that those guys perfectly paid tribute to Wes Craven and got me to embrace the core four says a lot. #filmsky #horrorsky

ICYMI: Filmmaker Kaouther Ben Haniaβs docu-drama THE VOICE OF HIND RAJAB is now available on digital.
If youβve missed it, allow EoM Contributor @andrewjeisenman.bsky.social to explain why you should rectify that ASAP.
Upon hearing the sad news about Robert Carradine, I remember his great performance in Fred Walton's remake of I SAW WHAT YOU DID. He answered the call and then some when playing the story's villain. The role felt more deep because of him.
I hope more folks get around to seeing this TV hidden gem.
Congratulations!
