‘Acquired Taste’ - Clay McLeod Chapman
‘The Devils’ (1971) from Director Ken Russell has a fantastic performance from Oliver Reed, while ‘The Innocents’ (1961) is a creeping slow-burn adaptation of the 1898 gothic-novella ‘The Turn Of Screw’

‘The Beauty’ // ‘A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms’🔥
Two TV shows I’ve been really enjoying so far in 2026!
‘The Beauty’ is stylish and OTT … kind of like ‘The Substance’ meets ‘The X Files’🩸
‘A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms’ is a welcome return to Westeros! ⚔️🛡️

‘The Girl In The Video’ 📼
Michael David Wilson weaves an interesting tale which warns us of our excessive consumption of social media.
He takes a look at the possible dangers lurking behind the screen, in a tale of obsession, voyeurism, and extreme paranoia …

‘Carmilla’🩸- Sheridan Le Fanu (1872)
Pre-Dating ‘Dracula’ by over 25 years, ‘Carmilla’ is a subtler story - but one which is an engaging read which explores loneliness, infatuation, manipulation and Horror in a thoroughly alluring way!
