For fans of horror video games, Kimo Stamboel's DREADOUT— which premiered at Fantasia Festival 2019 last night— is a fun adaptation. Makes great use of the game's story, as well as parts of the manga DLC, & also the gameplay / imagery. Not just that, as usual, Father Gore was able to latch onto compelling topics & themes about past v. present & how the contemporary urban world remains intricately connected to the Gothic past, particularly here re: Indonesian culture. Some awesome Indo-ghosts turn up that many Western viewers won't know, so get ready to meet them! Swipe over for a bunch of freaky stuff.

Hirotaka Adachi's STARE premiered at Fantasia Fest 2019 last night. STARE doesn’t necessarily give J-horror fans anything new. Still, the film’s incredibly creepy. Adachi’s screenplay touches on themes about how / why folk tales affect us, and how the past connects with modernity through urban legends. Many typical vengeful ghost story-inspired J-horror titles blend together because, ultimately, they don’t dig deep enough into the folklore concept that drives them. The film inadvertently draws comparison to events in recent pop culture memory which testify to the power of modern folklore, such as the 2014 Slender Man stabbing in Wisconsin and, to a lesser extent, the viral panic over the Momo Challenge hoax. Because fictional or not, stories have serious, sometimes dangerous power. Click the bio link to read a full essay on STARE! And swipe over for a couple more creepy + gory pics. #Horror #Fantasia2019 #HorrorMovies #InstaHorror #Mystery #UrbanLegends #FantasiaFest #JHorror #Ghost #Folklore #WorldPremiere #HirotakaAdachi #Otsuichi #HorrorFan #HorrorAddict #Essay #UrbanLegend #Myth

Dark Star Pictures & Uncork’d Entertainment present SEEDS, in theatres September 13th & on VOD/DVD September 24th. Director Owen Long’s SEEDS is a Gothic horror about a man haunted by his dark past while pursuing self-care on the New England coast. After a night of debauchery spirals out of control, Marcus retreats to his family home along the New England coast. Solitude is disturbed when his brother asks Marcus to look after his estranged nephew & niece. As days pass, solace escapes him— he feels baited by a dark force. Is he losing his mind or has something terrible burrowed deep within him, waiting until the climate is right? Marcus struggles not to succumb to his deepest fears as he fights to protect Lily, his beloved niece from a monster that lies in wait. Andrea Chen, Garr Long, & Kevin Breznahan star opposite Trevor Long (OZARK). 💀 #Horror #Film #InstaHorror #UncorkdEntertainment #Poster #TrevorLong #HorrorMovies #Movies #HorrorFan #HorrorAddict #GothicHorror #Gothic #HorrorFilm #Creepy #Monster #NewMovies #NewEnglandGothic #PsychologicalHorror #Ozark #OwenLong

Tonight at Fantasia Fest 2019, BLOOD ON HER NAME premieres— a tense, tough rural neo-noir about a woman (Bethany Anne Lind) faced with committing murder in self-defence & all its terrible consequences. Also stars the inimitable Will Patton! #Film #InstaHorror #Revenge #NeoNoir #FantasiaFest #Fantasia2019 #Movies #Teaser #Trailer #Thriller #FilmNoir #SouthernGothic #WillPatton #BethanyAnneLind #WorldPremiere #FantasiaFestival

The latest episode of LEGION was terrifying & wild. One of the best TV episodes ever to exist! Huge fan of the series, & easily Father Gore's favourite Marvel adaptation out there. Not even huge on superheroes, yet LEGION continually knocks it out of the park. So many great performances! Not to mention the themes of mental illness the series tackles are incredibly interesting. Should be fun to see how they end the show with this season. #Horror #InstaHorror #LegionFX #Marvel #Superheroes #HorrorFan #Surrealism #NoahHawley #LegionSeason3 #DanStevens #TimeEaters #HorrorAddict #Creepy
