Hey everyone! It's been awhile. Just a heads-up that some unauthorized access on Movie Fail led to spam making its way onto our site. Apologies for any confusion - the material has been removed and we are actively working on the situation.

I reviewed the Fungi Film Festival for @MovieFailBlog so that you can decide by yourself if the festival is for you or not.

A typically great thread from @prasokour below.

You can read his full review of Prehistoric Planet here: https://t.co/vXL3bNd0tJ

[Prasokour @prasokour]
