Is Horror the Ultimate Form of Escapism?
CatBusRuss is not a practitioner of evil, but he is a fan of the art. No one deserves to die, but what is a good story without a few casualties? And if the deaths are just the same through out like the Bond films before the MPAA gave us G, M, R, and X, the audience would soon be tired of bloodless cinema. Celebrate cinematic sins whenever you can.

The Brilliance of Stuart Gordon
"Castle Freak" and "Dagon" are all low-budget bangers. And after Russ brings up the 2013 no-budget stinker "Eternal Damn Nation", you will have a greater appreciation of the man who did the most to honor H.P. Lovecraft's horrors (and, to a lesser extent, Tommy Wiseau).

"Phantoms" with Nathaniel J from "At the Devil's Ball"
Was #BenAffleck ever the bomb as an actor? CatBusRuss & @filmhurts.bsky.social think “Phantoms” at least wrote him correctly. Why can we not have a #bmovie #A24? Peter O’Toole and weak CG for the win.

Resident Evil (2026) Zach Cregger's "Katamari Damacy"
Can a competently directed #horror feature with some dark humor still be an absolute failure? #ZachCregger makes CatBusRuss answer the question with his ignorance of #ResidentEvil. For a fun #zombie movie without as much style, may Russ suggest “Cooties”?
