Walking into The Fox at SXSW, knowing it came from Dario Russo, co-creator of Danger 5, immediately put me on high alert. That show thrives on weaponized absurdity, and I was curious how that sensibility would translate into a feature. The answer is that it translates beautifully, maybe not perfectly, but in a way that feels deeply committed, wildly strange, and genuinely funny.
Read MoreSecrets Are Better on Disc: Talamasca Season 1 Comes Home
There is something oddly satisfying about seeing Anne Rice’s Talamasca: The Secret Order land on physical media. A show built around secrecy, archives, and centuries of guarded knowledge feels right at home on a shelf rather than floating in the algorithmic ether. Season 1 is now available on Blu-ray and DVD, courtesy of Acorn Media International, with the full run also available to buy and keep digitally.
Read MoreOBEX: When Black Mirror Collides With Tron’s Analog Nightmare
OBEX is the kind of movie that feels like it crawled out of a dusty computer lab at 2 a.m., humming with static and bad ideas in the best possible way. It is lo-fi, deeply analog, aggressively strange, and proudly uninterested in smoothing out its rough edges. In an era where nostalgia is usually sanded down and sold back to us by algorithms, OBEX makes nostalgia feel uncomfortable again.
Read MoreBurn the Town, Not the Witch: Sanctuary Turns Murder Into a Modern Witch Hunt
If you are even remotely witch-pilled, Sanctuary: A Witch’s Tale feels like an easy sell. Drop it into spooky season, add a murder mystery, and let a supposedly progressive town slowly reveal its uglier instincts. Consider me hooked. What initially plays as a cozy, small-town crime drama quickly curdles into something more pointed and uncomfortable, using witchcraft less as a genre gimmick and more as a social stress test.
Read MoreBlue Emanuelle: Lost in the Blue, Trapped in Desire
Blue Emanuelle isn’t interested in tidy plotting or clean explanations. It cares more about mood. About how something feels while it’s happening. Directed by Jamie Grefe, the film moves like a half-remembered dream, circling longing, memory, and that strange ache of wanting something you can’t quite put into words.
Read MoreLove, Blood, and Bad Decisions That Look Incredible: Luc Besson’s Dracula
Luc Besson isn’t interested in giving us just another cape-flapping, coffin-hopping Dracula. With Dracula, hitting theaters nationwide on February 6th, 2026, via Vertical, Besson leans hard into gothic romanticism, tragic obsession, and visual excess, crafting a lavish, blood-soaked love story that wears its heart on its sleeve and occasionally trips over it. This version of the legend opens with a 15th-century prince, Vlad, played by Caleb Landry Jones, whose world collapses after the brutal murder of his wife, Elisabeta.
Read MoreTales of the Walking Dead: Season 1 (2025) #BluRay
Even as someone who’s never fully fallen under The Walking Dead spell, I have to admit that Tales of the Walking Dead makes a strong case for revisiting its world. My parents are big fans, and for once I can see the appeal: this anthology spin-off brings an impressive lineup of actors and a refreshing variety of storytelling styles that might tempt even the skeptics. Arriving just in time for spooky season, the series unfolds over six standalone episodes, each venturing into different emotional and psychological corners of the post-apocalyptic universe.
Read MoreOf Starlight (2011)
Of Starlight is a moody, slow-burning noir that leans hard into atmosphere, inviting viewers into a neon-drenched world where memory, love, and reality bleed together. Michael DeMasi’s direction is confident and visually striking, crafting a city washed in artificial light that feels both dreamlike and suffocating — a perfect backdrop for Christopher Spare’s weary investigator as he chases a disappearance that keeps slipping just out of reach. The film’s strengths shine through its hypnotic visuals, thoughtful pacing, and a synth-driven score that recalls the cool melancholy of Blade Runner or Ghost in the Shell.
