Dead by Daylight 4th Anniversary Event Review
The 4th Anniversary is just so…peaceful by comparison. There are floating crowns on pedestals. They randomly generate one at a time on a map. If someone grabs or breaks one (survivor vs killer objective), a new one generates somewhere on the map. Everyone in a match can interact with a crown because five crowns total can generate in each match.
Oscar Nominations and Final Awards
The 2018 Academy Award nominations came out last Tuesday and they have me feeling a certain way. I’m going to break down the major categories and share my final nominees and winners in the correlative categories. Let’s get to it.
#31DaysofHorror: A Recap
Sometimes, you just need to challenge yourself. I’ve been slowly pulling my life back together after giving up full time teaching. Returning to Sketchy Details was a huge part of that. It’s just running a media criticism site exercises very different parts of the brain than teaching did. I’ve written often enough throughout my life to regain my footing again, but the rigidity of a schedule makes things quite a bit different overall.
Antibirth Review (Film, 2016) #31DaysofHorror
Content warning: the foundation of Afterbirth is sexual assault implied but not shown at the start of the film.
Antibirth is modern weird fiction. There’s really no other way to describe it. It’s a modern psychedelic horror film with a very loose plot connecting a lot of strange imagery meant to scare the audience. The time period is ambiguously modern—the characters talk like they’re current but the town they live in is behind the times, complete with wood panel tube tubes—and there’s not much logic to the story. The film gets away with it, too, since writer/director Danny Perez sets his protagonist as a drug addict and an alcoholic.
