After a break, I’m back to writing. Adding my voice to the ever-growing chorus of podgy middle-aged men on the internet, I’ve written a TL;DR essay about John Carpenter’s The Thing: hyperrealism, viral horror, post-truth, and performed masculinity. If that’s your kind of ding…

Reap (2020) quotes Lovecraft, name-drops Nietzsche, and still manages to miss the point of both. A film about fear of the unknown that knows absolutely nothing.

Werner Herzog is a great filmmaker — but everything he could get wrong about Nosferatu, he did.
Murnau’s Nosferatu understood horror’s need for myth and closure. Herzog’s 1979 remake traded shadowplay for color, archetype for irony — and bled the story dry.
A horror film isn’t over until the evil is vanquished and the natural order reset. Herzog killed the heroine and the point.
