Masao Adachi’s ‘A.K.A. Serial Killer’ (1975) looks through the eyes of a killer in a montage of cityscapes and metastasizing urban sprawls that may have had unquantifiable influence on his burst of violence. Read @orosullivan's latest for October Horror! https://t.co/DpMbZXFaIC
Always a pleasure to work with @orosullivan during October Horror! For his first piece, he dives deep into Scott Barley's ‘Sleep Has Her House.’ A great read so check it out!
Encountered Scott Barley's gorgeous, overwhelming film earlier this year and it instantly became one of my favorite things I've ever seen. Excited to write about it for @splittoothmedia October Horror.

A milestone of ambient cinema, Scott Barley’s 'Sleep Has Her House' (2017) seeks to subdue the viewer into a paradoxical state of hyper-awareness and mindfulness. @orosullivan explores the iPhone-shot avant-garde film for October Horror! https://t.co/iqIpHNaxci

Happy New Year from Split Tooth! Thrilled that we could sneak one more piece in for 2025 with @orosullivan's review of Andrew Norman Wilson's ‘Silvesterchlausen’ (2025). Brilliant writing from Oliver on a perfect film to watch for NYE!
Taking a 500-year-old New Year’s tradition from Switzerland as its subject, 'Silvesterchlausen' harbors a fascination with self-sustaining cultures and the mystique of an unbroken continuum. @orosullivan explores Andrew Norman Wilson's 2025 film for NYE! https://t.co/rXJMFCu8UD
Full of creeping dread and frayed family bonds, Josh Lobo’s ‘I Trapped the Devil’ (2019) is a cracked-mirror portrait of returning home for the holidays. https://t.co/RmyxDSus2v
Many are the Christmas stories about anxieties of existence, but 'Dead Man’s Letters' (1986) is one of the only truly existential Xmas movies. @orosullivan explores the underseen first entry in Konstantin Lopushansky’s Apocalypse Quartet. https://t.co/lj5NaWVjlu
Marie Menken’s ‘Lights’ (1966) is a joyous distillation of the beauty that abounds during the holiday season, and the darkness that surrounds it. https://t.co/9hvPAv2ahr
‘Eno’ (2024) is both a joyous meditation on human creativity and an earnest rolling of the dice that gives control over to a soulless software. https://t.co/NVjLEATSsK
October Horror 2025 is in the books! Thanks to all of our contributors and everyone who followed the series this year. It was a blast to work on as always. Check out the complete series here: https://t.co/Suo0i3MIQs
Often referred to as the first Romanian found footage film, Adrian Țofei’s ‘Be My Cat: A Film for Anne’ (2015) throws us into a rabbit hole of self-reflexivity and madness. https://t.co/zZlKRlnQKE
Yet another fantastic October Horror piece from @orosullivan! His final essay for the 2025 series is on Radu Jude’s ‘Dracula.’ Highly recommend giving it a read!
In Radu Jude's 'Dracula' (2025), the filmmaker turns Bram Stoker's tale into a volatile combination of asinine nonsense and intimidating intelligence. @orosullivan explores the latest from Romania's premier absurdist for October Horror! https://t.co/k8tsj92g2Z
The final week of October Horror 2025 begins tomorrow. Check out all the writing and podcasts that have been published so far at the link below! https://t.co/Suo0i3MIQs
For @splittoothmedia's October Horror, I wrote about @briscoepark's beautiful and beguiling YouTube series, BRISCOE PARK, a vast, mysterious universe to get lost in. RIYL Soderbergh's PRESENCE, analog horror, film noir, reaction videos, and Dziga Vertov.
