unlabelledView post →Well, to use an example from my own film SINISTER, Ellison Oswalt WANTS to be successful and famous again, he NEEDS to reconnect with his family, his GHOST is his past failures as an author including framing an innocent man, and his LIE is that success will fix everything going wrong in his life.
unlabelledView post →Movie recommendation for tonight, Sinister The main spookum resembles a member of a Norwegian Black Metal band, so I didn't quite know what to expect, but Sinister was surprised me because it reminded me of the Nic Cage thriller 8mm, and sees Ethan Hawk finding a bunch of snuff movies in his attic.

I had that experience with SINISTER, a movie that scared the shit out of me the first time and then made me laugh the second. What's your horror movie that took a DEEP dive upon rewatch?

Join our newsletter: https://roots.watchfern.com/ El Mencho may be the most powerful and ruthless drug lord in the world. His cartel has taken on the Mexican state and built a global criminal empire. How did he become so powerful? Why has no one been able to stop him? And what happens if he is finally caught? Much of this video is based on the book “CJNG: A Quick Guide to Mexico's Deadliest Cartel” by Chris Dalby. Link:…
unlabelledView post →I agree. My wife is more knowledgeable about the X-Men lore, and watched it with me. She pointed out the reveal about building beings funded by Mister Sinister- Which would have gone over my head- It would have been neat to see him in the movie, at the very least. 💁♂️
unlabelledView post →The early Cry of Fear OST needle drop caught my attention, and the mentions of Nine Inch Nails and the history of the theremin and how the film Sinister uses licensed music really reaffirms just how much ball Jeremy knows.
unlabelledView post →Got it. Sinister The Conjuring Lake Mungo (scariest film I’ve ever seen and it has no jump scares) Nightmare on Elm Street 1 Nightmare on Elm Street 3 (Less scary but very fun) Malignant (I ADORE this film, it’s very unserious and gets totally bonkers) M3GAN is very funny Barbarian
unlabelledView post →Maybe that's a byproduct of seeing A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET so young and seeking out how the sausage was made. But I do so, so, so love it if a movie or whatever actually does give me the creeps. (SINISTER, @crobertcargill.bsky.social succeeded where countless others failed and I love him for it.)
