Lmao, they pulled this from Letterboxd because they were getting blasted (rightfully so) so I'll just reiterate what I said on there. If I had access to AI to help with my home movies as a kid, I'd have grown into one hell of a boring, miserable jerk. If I had grown up with access to AI, I'd never have learned how to shoot around an effect I can't pull off, I'd have never learned how to make the best out of the resources at my disposal, I never would have learned that your movies don't have to look good to tell the story you still want to tell. To those who think that this short in any way represents something beneficial to the artistic process, I'm sorry. I truly am.

I know that I am probably well in the minority on this one, but I ADORED Tate Steinsiek's reimagining/remake/reboot/whatever of CASTLE FREAK. It trades out the familial drama of Stuart Gordon's original in favour of slow burn erotic grotesquerie, and therefor it's pretty much the most delightfully putrid monster film you'll find this year. Shave off maybe 15 minutes from the runtime and there's a real gem in there for those who have similar tastes as I do.

SO, Dustin Ferguson did make a decent movie! Six years ago, he lensed this reasonably well-shot, visually ambitious giallo homage. It has characters, a tone, deliberate pacing, a sense of momentum and only a small dash of the Fergusonian padding issues that hold it back from being something I can say I loved. I am rather impressed, though. I recommend the Gloved Murderess for fans of Euro-sleaze who are trying to figure out how to do something similar on a shoestring budget.
