CRUEL 2018
I always worried this short was a lil rough around the edges for Letterboxd but I've been hearing more and more from genreheads that it's my best work. CRUEL was my return to filmmaking after two years of despair and the process of making this silly scarecrow splatter flick genuinely gave my life new meaning. I went in depth about the journey behind this film in my The House That Jack Built review (the only decent thing I've ever written…

The House That Jack Built 2018
I've never written a review, or really anything this personal before, but I believe this is the only way I can properly articulate my love and connection to this film. Since the end of 2016 I've been dealing with serious mental health issues, and in September I started seeing a therapist. I'd been experiencing heavy paranoia and have been unable to get past the loss of a close friend. Crippling depression and self destructive tendencies led me into a job…

Dune 2021
Wish the whole movie had the sun bleached, hazy aesthetics of Paul's dreams/visions. 80% of DUNC looks amazing but some of these scenes are just too dark and grey for my sensibilities. Went to see this on IMAX with the hopes that the dark scenes would fair a bit better but even then, there are some moments here that are just straight up ugly. I get that the world isn't fun and only a handful of visuals are meant to…

Halloween Kills 2021
I fantasize every day about eating the hamburger Barbara Hoyt infamously consumed without the knowledge that the Manson family had loaded it with 10 doses of LSD. Losing my mind in Hawaii sounds like a great way to go. If any of my (numerous) beefs result in my homicide, I only ask that I'm given the Jolly West special. I don't want any of that weak shit he gave Jack Ruby either, you'd better hit me with the dose that…

Seance 2021
The best Scream movie since 1996.
As a long time fan of Simon Barrett's writing I've been looking forward to his directorial debut, but this effected me emotionally in ways that I wasn't prepared for. A feeling of loss permeates through Seance from its opening frames, yet this melancholic banger never loses its sense of fun. Everyone is bringing their A-game from costuming to score and indie GOAT Karim Hussain reinvents his visual stylings flawlessly with this cold, slick, flare…

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings 2021
It can be hard to know what lessons to take from art, but I'm developing a general rule where you don't involve yourself in things you don't have to know. My life has become a nightmare, so there's a couple things that I gotta quote.
Even if you are not ready for the day, it cannot always be night.
