Part of what makes Justin Kurzel's films so distinctive & special to me are Jed Kurzel's terrific scores. THE ORDER no exception, a wonderfully intense set of themes that evoke the film's vast, empty landscapes, brooding melancholy & violence. Excellent.

Moved by Anthony Harvey’s THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS (1971) on @indicatorseries blu. Deeply weird, dreamlike experience. Explores madness, fantasy & love through the prism of late 60s ‘anything goes’ zaniness + a pair of wildly intense performances from Scott and Woodward. Good movie.

Revisited Dennis Donnelly’s spectacularly scuzzy proto-slasher THE TOOLBOX MURDERS (1978). Morphs from violent schlockfest into a nightmarish, borderline Lynchian psychosexual drama across its brief, lurid runtime. A memorably horrible experience (positive).

The original film is major, so up for this reboot!
This Christmas... you'd better be good. From Cineverse and director Mike P. Nelson, SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT will punish the naughty in theaters later this year.
