Companion came out 18 days ago. The shrinking gap between movies playing in theaters to being available at home is gonna be what ends up killing theaters. For big studio movies like this it should be a minimum of 90 days.
Experience a new kind of love story when COMPANION hits Digital tomorrow. The sci-fi horror thriller will be released on physical media April 11.

Carved some pumpkins while watching scary movies earlier today. Good way to spend Halloween day before tonight’s antics.

Let’s also not forget that Psycho and Peeping Tom were some of the first American horror films to make a psychotically deranged human the antagonist, I always credit them and Texas Chainsaw Massacre as the first slasher films.
Black Christmas (1974) invented the slasher four years before Halloween.

For every movie that “invented the slasher flick,” there was one a few years prior you could say the same about. In reality, slashers were the result of compounding influential German Krimi, Italian Giallo & American psychological thrillers—all ultimately synthesized in Halloween

Clayface absolutely rules. Tom Rhys Harries is effortlessly charming and his descent into villainy is as entertaining as it is tragic. Some surprisingly harsh violence and genuinely nightmarish body horror visuals throughout. Watkins and Flanagan delivered! #ClayfaceMovie

Been waiting for this ever since I played LEGO Batman in 2008. Now seated for Clayface in Dolby!

Started watching The Rehearsal, Nathan Fielder would undergo Cold War era psychological torture to commit to the bit.

“auraless” oh okay.
Michael Myers might be the most auraless slasher icon

Still reeling from The Devils, wow. Blasphemous, provocative and a sight to behold! I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen and feel like I’m going to hell for watching it. Glad to see it get a second week in theaters. If you’re into intense nunsploitation 70s cinema, go see it!

correct, i don't use it. i'm smarter than the people who do, that's why
So the people that are anti AI, do you like, not use AI at all??? Like not using it for generative art, and paying artists, I understand, but you're behinnnndddd if you refuse to touch it

Y’all have no idea how happy it makes me seeing NC17 on a movie ticket. Now seated for Ken Russel’s The Devils.

I've been enjoying testing out games during Steam Next Fest. That being said, indie devs, stop using AI. I skipped every demo that used AI. The joy of indie gaming to me is that a team of people WANTED to make a game. Using AI art just makes it feel like a cheap money grab.
