This evening's viewing: Jane Schoenbrun's debut, We're All Going to the World's Fair. I loved their more recent I Saw the TV Glow, intrigued by this intersection between the liminal online spaces and real life.

This evening's viewing: Significant Other, which turned out to be a much more interesting SF-horror than I expected. Currently available free on Film4, if you're in the UK.

Heeeeeerrrre's Toxie!!! Cool standee in the Cameo Cinema tonight.

My final Midnight Madness screening of this year's film festival. Fond memories of the schlocky original, this new version was a lot of silly, OTT fun. Looks like Dinklage & Kevin Bacon were enjoying themselves.

This evening's viewing: some bonkers Japanese schlock, lo-fi #horror with Hot Springs Shark Attack. Yes, it is as silly as it sounds, but it knows it and runs with it. Bringing back memories of watching a lot of straight to video titles by Troma et al back im the day...

Review will follow in due course on @PhilEdwards 's Live For Film

Monsters of California: Blink 182's Tom DeLonge directs & co-writes this flick of UFOs, cryptids and more. Flawed, sure, but also pretty fun in a popcorn flick kind of way (with a bit of a Goonies influence). My review is on @PhilEdwards 's Live For Films -

This evening's viewing: Alien Romulus. A couple of mis-steps, but mostly a seriously solid Alien movie, and nice attention to detail (interiors, even making interfaces on the computers resemble the original from decades ago)

This evening's viewing distraction: Celine Sciamma's French flick, Petite Maman (currently available free on Film 4 on Demand, for those in the UK)

This evening's viewing, Insidious - the Red Door. First couple in the series were interesting - not genius, but decent enough horror flicks, but this final one isn't overly impressing me. Has its moments, but overly reliant on over-using the same techniques repeatedly, so they lose any impact.

Absolutely loved the animated, wordless film #Flow - beautiful piece of animation, which uses an animal cast (no humans) in a way that is warm and emotional but without falling into the twee or sugary trap. One to see on the big screen, if you can.

This evening's viewing distraction: unsettling psychic assassin film Possesor - coming from Brandon Cronenberg (son of David), it is, unsurprisingly interesting and disturbing (currently on Film 4 on demand, free, if you are in the UK)
