Well, fuck me— THE STANDOFF AT SPARROW CREEK is a tight, tense, 1970s-style thriller with a timely story about gun culture, & if you haven't seen it, go do it quick. The performances are great. The story's unexpected, as well as quietly intense. You'll be captivated from beginning to end. #TheStandoffAtSparrowCreek #2019 #Film #Crime #Thriller #JamesBadgeDale #CrimeThriller #Movies #FuckGuns

Very much wanted to enjoy DRY BLOOD. Really didn't dig it, but the effects are stellar! Head trip of a film with plenty of blood. Just didn't hit Father Gore right, other than the nasty practical effects work. #DryBlood #Horror #Gore #InstaHorror #Movies #IndieFilm #SpecialEffectsMakeup #SpecialFX #HorrorFilm #HorrorFan

TUMBBAD (2018) One of the horror greats. A truly genuine piece of cinema. This means big things for film in India, particularly for those Indian filmmakers who want to tackle horror in fresh & exciting ways while bringing their culture along for the ride. Honestly, Father Gore's never seen anything like this film. See it, soon as you can! #Tumbbad #IndianFilm #Bollywood #HorrorMovies #InstaHorror #Mythology #Horror #Movies #HorrorFan #Gore #HorrorFilm

THE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT (2018) is one of the 21st century's great works of art so far. A cinematic masterpiece. A massive allegory about art, the intersection of death & violence with art, & how artists deal with fame, failure, & more.

Huge fan of LEATHERFACE, even if most others hated it. Gives the iconic horror movie villain a new identity. And if you didn't dig it, nothing's changed ole Leatherface himself. But seriously, this is a raw, brutal, & gruesome flick. Father Gore digs it so much! A gloriously gritty horror. #Leatherface #SerialKiller #Cannibalism #TheTexasChainsawMassacre #MyFamilysAlwaysBeenInMeat #Horror #InstaHorror #Prequel #HorrorFilm #HorrorFan #Gore #Disturbing #Reimagining #HorrorMovies

If you've never seen OGROFF a.k.a MAD MUTILATOR (1983), you've got to get yourself a copy! One of the most surreal slashers. A psychotronic brain-warp. Low on plot, high on strange. Things pivot from slasher to an odd zombie plot at one point, too. You've never seen anything quite like it, really. Only because it's so fucking weird. 🔪🔪🔪 #Ogroff #MadMutilator #1983 #80sHorror #HorrorMovies #Horror #Movies #Psychotronic #LowBudget #FrenchSlasher #FrenchFilm #Slasher #NGMount #SlasherFilm #HorrorFan #InstaHorror
