REFLECTION IN A DEAD DIAMOND isn’t just one of my #FantasticFest standouts, it’ll be one of my favorite films of 2025. My review of this dizzying blend of style and fragmented storytelling over at Cinapse Shudder IFC

There’s just something gratifying about a horror film that delivers on its inspirations and adds its own voice and visuals to the mix. My review of DOLLY, out of #FantasticFest, a grungy and effective slice of psycho-horror.

APPOFENIACS is a frenetic, stylish, and disturbingly timely techno-thriller. My review out of #FantasticFest over at Cinapse

THE PIANO ACCIDENT. Another deadpan delight from Dupieux, this time taking aim at the hollow pursuits of influencers and clout chasers. Just bleak brilliance. #FantasticFest

#FantasticFest Secret Screening #2 is BUGONIA

So so so my jam. 👏🏼

#FantasticFest Secret screening 3 is ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER.

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER. Timely, topical, and just a rollicking good time at the movies. DiCaprio nails it once again. One of the year’s best, and a thrilling example of a filmmaker utterly assured and thriving in their craft. #FantasticFest

HONEY BUNCH. A lush mystery that explores ideas of love and devotion by playing with memory and mood. Evokes 70s Gothic vibes, but crafts a distinct hazy tone and compelling tale all of its own. #FantasticFest

A WOMAN CALLED MOTHER. A reckoning with dueling roles spills into family life after a visit to a shaman. Tackles its themes well, loses focus at times, but when it clicks it rips. Great unsettling moments (& movements) and an all timer transition shot 🍳 #FantasticFest

#FantasticFest Secret screening 4 is GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON’T DIE.

#GoodLuckHaveFunDontDie. A chaotic and blackly comedy adventure about technological creep and the impending collapse of society. The end of the world shouldn’t be this much fun. #FantasticFest

Fuck off

A standout at #FantasticFest this year, a coming of age tale of social acceptance vs moral conflict, steeped in genre elements and discordant vibes. My review of THE PLAGUE over at Cinapse

Added my faves to this wrapup from Fantastic Fest 2025. Some really great movies this year! #FantasticFest 👏🏼🎬

Always had a soft-spot for DAYBREAKERS, and these new featurettes on 4K are great to dig-in to. 🧛👏🏼
