Hatching (2022)
Finnish: Pahanhautoja
Practical effects body horror film sort of thing with a murder parrot which seems to bitterly hate social media and influencers almost as much as I do. Finnish language but available with competent English subtitles in places such as Amazon streaming. Though the subtitling community would take offense to the subs being white rather than yellow while possibly picking minor nits with the font, as well.

Iceland continiues to be the strange cousin, even by greater Scandinavian standards. And I'd live on that farm in a heartbeat.
Very nifty! Downloading it now and will listen to it on the drive home tonight. Thanks!
Cinemark down here had a 40th anniversary showing of The Thing, so some friends and I went and saw it in the theater. First time ever for me to see it on the big screen (I was too young to see it according to my parents when it came out). It held up very well. The Thing and Alien are two of my all time favorites.
Girlfriend has not seen The Thing. This must be rectified, to the point that I'm actually going to buy it on Prime.
We also saw Smile at the Drive-In last week. It was creepy, but not particularly good. The Drive-In was alright, though, and we'll definitely be going back. Except this time we're just gonna shell out the five bucks and bring our own food.
Available on HBO Max, or likely your local library.
I’m not much on horror films but I do like me some H.P. Lovecraft. I realized I hadn’t read any in quite a while but some digging around on Spotify turned this up. I’ve been listening since Thursday afternoon…. Here’s the YouTube version:

Setting up for tonight's backyard double-feature.
Beef stew getting its start in a crockpot. Three bags of tortilla chips ready to meet two and a half jars of salsa plus a tub of sour cream.Two fresh growlers of local beer in the fridge next to two gallons of local-ish unpasteurized cider. Some fresh assorted spices and a navel orange to mix up my own mulling spice. Nine cigars set aside, one jar of Haunted Bookshop and another of Lane 1Q plus unused corncob pipes should anyone want to dabble.
A guest just dropped off a package of chicken drumsticks, box of burger patties, and burger buns. So looks like I need to wheel out a grill after doing up the screen, routing the power cord, and hauling out the media stand. And setting up a temporary second fire pit plus full water buckets. Liner in the painted trashcan, old ski resort beerhall benches unfolded, and lawnchairs checked.
Girlfriend and I watched the Hellraiser remake on Hulu last night. It wasn’t great. Not the worst horror movie I’ve ever seen, but far from one of the better ones. The premise was consistent with the original movies. The characters were pretty forgettable. The acting wasn’t amazing.
