TERRIFIER DIRECTOR INSISTS HIS POLITICAL GENRE FILM ISN’T POLITICAL

Art the Clown may be a murderous demon, but don’t call him political. At least not in front of Terrifier creator and director Damien Leone. Despite themes of religion, female-centric heroism, body autonomy, and more being woven into the smash hit Terrifier franchise, Leone took a firm stance with a statement yesterday (2/3/25.)

ALIEN STAR WINS BIG AT BAFTA FILM AWARDS

Alien: Romulus breakout actor David Jonsson is no stranger to the stars, especially as the latest recipient of BAFTA’s Rising Star Award. Jonsson’s performance as an android combatting his own programming earned rave reviews as well as the coveted award - beating out huge names like Mikey Madison (2022’s Scream) and Jharell Jerome (2019’s When They See Us.) This particular category is the only one voted on by the general public, so it’s safe to say audiences were just as endeared as critics and industry peers.

“...I’d like to dedicate this to the people, the dreamers, grafters, and the people just trying to do it a little bit different. Star - I don't know, but rising – I guess!” Jonsson quipped onstage.

Watch the stunning moment Jonsson received his award from past winners Letitia Wright (Black Mirror) and James McAvoy (Speak No Evil.)

Alien: Romulus joins a list of Horror titles (The Substance, Cuckoo, I Saw The TV Glow, etc.) being recognized by prestige voting bodies this awards season; institutions that generally don’t recognize Horror.

HORROR DOMINATES SPIRIT AWARD NOMINATIONS

Today’s (12/4) announcement of the Spirit Award nominations revealed a refreshing array of Horror titles in the mix. Jane Schoenbrun’s magnificent I Saw The TV Glow led the wave, tying with Anora for the most nominations with a staggering 6. These included nods for performances from Justice Smith and Brigette Lundy-Paine, directing and screenplay nods for Schoenbrun, as well as one for Best Feature.

AMERICAN FEAR - 10 FILMS THAT CAPTURE 2024 POLITICAL ANXIETIES

Since the onset of the genre, Horror has remained inherently political - largely due to its accessibility and its confrontation of societal fears. With the recently elected administration openly sharing plans to oppress marginalized people, there’s no wonder audiences have been seeking the catharsis of Horror. Below you’ll find a list of major Horror releases this year that accurately capture timely political anxieties.

THE SUBSTANCE INJECTS FULL SCRIPT ONLINE

Deadline is helping “respect the balance” between filmmakers and audiences by releasing the full script for The Substance on their website.
As awards season ramps up, some campaigning productions share their scripts for further consideration of screenwriting awards. The result is a rich opportunity for aspiring writers and filmmakers. Director/Writer Coralie Fargeat words are especially intriguing here, as so much of the film’s body-horror elements revolve around striking imagery.

Me the Machine: Miomantis [Scars] Official Music Video

Pop Music’s Horror Auteur returns with a gothic, sweeping sound
in Me The Machine’s newest collaboration with “Silent Hill”
composer Akira Yamaoka. “Miomantis (Scars)” catapults listeners
into a cinematic realm of storytelling.

Los Angeles - Sept. 24th, 2024 - Join the booming chorus of
heartache and revenge in “Miomantis (Scars,)” the latest single
from legendary composer Akira Yamaoka and Latine trailblazer
Me The Machine. Pain is the ultimate muse in this vivid new track,
available now on all music streaming services and DSPs.

“I wanted to tell a story that brings people in to experience an
intense, maniacal type of passion and hurt,” shared singer-
songwriter Me The Machine. “The vulnerability of showing your
own scars can heal others. There’s no one better than Akira to
help tell this story.” “Miomantis (Scars)” follows the gore and
glory of the duo’s 2023 single, Soul Eater.

Latin American Nightmares Come to Life at Hollywood Horror Nights

Latiné viewers have proven to be some of Horror’s most consistent audiences over the last decade. Universal Studios Hollywood’s “Monstruos 2: The Nightmares of Latin America” centers those audiences and their stories.

Actor Danny Trejo returns to narrate a journey through Latin American lore that feels reverential and grandiose. What folklore would you add to this @horrornights haunted house?

NEON NOSTALGIA: I SAW THE TV GLOW REVIEW

“This is not my home!”

By the time Justice Smith (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom) screams these words in I Saw The TV Glow, there’s no denying the power of the Pink Opaque. In these heartbreaking moments, Director Jane Schoenbrun (We’re All Going to the World’s Fair) proves just how crucial Queer and specifically Trans storytelling are in film. A surrealist portrait of Queer self-discovery is no small feat. Long after the TV static has silenced, audiences are left with a hopeful exploration of identity bathed in the glow of neon nostalgia.
