SNL50: The Anniversary Special 2025
I haven’t watched much of SNL in the last 10 years (and what little I’ve seen hasn’t been great), but this was a nice reminder of how much I used to love the show.

This is only Robert Eggers second film (after his phenomenal debut, The Witch) and he’s already cemented himself as one of the most original and exciting directors working today. On the surface this is a movie about…

A Bay of Blood 1971
By 1971 the Italian giallo genre was in full swing, thanks to films like Mario Bava’s Blood and Black Lace and Dario Argento’s The Bird With the Crystal Plumage. For Bava’s followup, A Bay of Blood (aka Twitch of the Death Nerve), he already decided to tweak the formula, showing just how ahead of his time he truly was. What separates this from other giallo’s of the era is the extremely high body count and the level of graphic violence…
