The Plague from 2025!
๐ฅ WHAT WE FOUND:
๐ Summer 2003. An all-boys water polo camp. A cruel tradition. A rash called "the plague."
๐ค Conceived during a COVID FEVER DREAM in Polinger's childhood bedroom.
๐ฌ Joel Edgerton wanted to DIRECT it โ but stepped aside to PRODUCE instead.
๐ Polinger used his ACTUAL childhood clothes in the movie.
๐ฉน The "plague" was based on a REAL camper's eczema.
๐ 100% on Rotten Tomatoes โ the best-reviewed horror of 2025.
๐ 11-MINUTE STANDING OVATION at the Cannes Film Festival.
๐ "Not a horror movie, but moves with the mood of one." โ A critic on Roger Ebert's Website.
๐ญ Polinger's next film? An Edgar Allan Poe adaptation with A24 and Mikey Madison.
๐ Three Film Independent Spirit Award nominations โ including a WIN for Kayo Martin.
This is tense, unsettling, and deeply felt. A debut that announces a major new voice in horror.

๐ท๏ธ 200 REAL SPIDERS. 10 SECONDS OF FOOTAGE AT A TIME.
Infested (Vermines) is the French horror film that took the Venice Film Festival by storm โ and it's TERRIFYING.
๐ฅ WHAT WE FOUND:
๐ท๏ธ 200 REAL huntsman spiders used on set โ but they could only run for 10 SECONDS before getting tired.
๐ The spider is named "RIHANNA" โ "beautiful, dangerous, and you can't control her."
๐ Stephen King called it "Scary, gross, well made."
๐ซ๐ท The French title "Vermines" has a DOUBLE MEANING โ it refers to both the spiders AND the marginalized residents.
๐ก๏ธ The spiders are NEVER the aggressors โ they only defend themselves.
๐ Two Cรฉsar Award nominations + a Sitges Special Jury Award.
๐ฌ Director Sรฉbastien Vaniฤek landed an EVIL DEAD movie after this debut.

๐๏ธ SOMEONE IS WATCHING OVER YOU. HOWEVER IT'S NOT WHO YOU'D WANT IT TO BE!
Sleep Tight (Mientras duermes) also known as Bed Time is a thriller that proves the scariest monster isn't under your bed โ it's the one with the master key.
๐ฅ WHAT WE FOUND:
๐ The film was originally titled FLATMATE.
๐ Cรฉsar injects his own "DNA" into Clara's cosmetics. Highly Disturbing.
๐ซ Luis Tosar and Marta Etura are a REAL-LIFE couple.
๐ง Balaguerรณ deliberately gave Cรฉsar NO backstory. He's evil because he IS.
๐ป The opening scene: "There's always a way to be happy." Cut to Cรฉsar on a rooftop.
๐ฑ Almost NO blood or gore โ pure psychological horror.
๐ฌ Only SIX US theaters โ but a $38,500 per-screen average.
๐ 7.2 on IMDb. A slow-burn masterpiece.

๐ LOS ANGELES. HEATWAVE. RAGE.
One man decides he's done being polite.
Falling Down is Joel Schumacher's urban pressure-cooker about a man who snaps so hard he becomes a cultural Rorschach test. Is he a villain? A victim? A warning? Or a mirror?
๐ฅ WHAT WE FOUND:
๐ The Whammyburger breakfast scene? America's first viral meme โ before memes existed.
๐ก๏ธ Filmed during a REAL LA heatwave โ the crew used it to amplify tension.
๐ช Michael Douglas shaved his head into a "weaponized" military buzzcut.
๐ซ The D-FENS license plate โ his job, his mindset, his downfall.
โ๏ธ The snow globe โ Foster's fantasy of a perfect world he can't live in.
โณ The golf course scene โ an old man yelling "I'm entitled!" mirrors Foster himself.
๐ The phone booth collapse? PRACTICAL. Douglas did the stunt himself.
๐ The film's most devastating line: "I'm the bad guy?"
This is a 1993 pressure bomb that still resonates today. Explosive. Uncomfortable. Unforgettable.

๐๏ธ IRELAND IS COOKING โ AND IT'S TERRIFYING.
A Dark Song. You Are Not My Mother. The Cellar. Caveat. Oddity. And Hokum which we did earlier, linked below!
Damian McCarthy returns with ODDITY โ a blind medium, a wooden golem, a murder mystery, and a Cabinet of Curiosities that feels like it's judging you.
๐ฅ WHAT WE FOUND:
๐ฅ The wooden golem doesn't move like a monster โ it moves like a DECISION.
๐ It feels like it's watching youโฆ even when it's NOT on screen.
๐งฟ Darcy doesn't use sight โ she uses TOUCH. Objects hold memories.
๐ญ Carolyn Bracken plays BOTH twins โ murdered Dani and blind medium Darcy.
๐ฐ A Caveat rabbit doll cameo in the Cabinet of Curiosities.
๐ฎ Inside the golem's skull: hair, photos, a tooth, a vial of blood โ real folk magic.
๐ The monster isn't the golem. It's the man Darcy trusted.
This is the SXSW Audience Award winner that turned a wooden mannequin into a horror icon.

The Death Of Robin Hood
The truth as told by director Michael Sarnoski. He didn't hold back, and none of the centuries long stories about Robin Hood were true. None of them. The Death Of Robin Hood tells it all!
And this fact, along with many more in 10 minutes are at this link - https://youtu.be/HgdYn6iL-Rk

๐น THE LEGEND IS DEAD. LONG LIVE THE MONSTER.
The Death of Robin Hood is here โ and it's NOT the Robin Hood you know.
๐ Hugh Jackman almost "pulled the plug" โ it was THAT brutal.
โฐ Each action sequence shot in ONE NIGHT. No doโovers.
๐ The entire film wrapped in 30 DAYS. ($20M budget!)
๐ฉโโ๏ธ Jodie Comer is NOT Maid Marian โ she's a prioress who discovers Robin burned her family alive.
๐ The 17thโcentury ballad? COMPLETELY flipped.
๐ Murray Bartlett plays Guy of Gisbourne โ as a LEPER.
๐ช Robin Hood is a CHILD MURDERER in this version.
๐ฑ The ending surprised even Hugh Jackman himself.
