On the back of Mission Impossible & Ready Player One, a local director is not just filming a scene in Britain's second city but bringing an entire action feature to Birmingham. @Matthew_Tilt headed to the set to hear more about LOTUS

I'm moving @whats_ina_scene over to #Bluesky and #Threads.
I'll also be posting on my personal account less, just because it's a terrible place to be.
So it's time. X is a hellscape with zero relevant engagement and bots galore.
If you want to keep up with us, head to whatsinascene.bsky.social or whats_in_a_scene on #Threads.
I'll keep tabs until the end of the year but won't be posting.

"It's a film that lives & dies on the excellent performances within...Haunted Ulster Live is a great little 80-minute love letter to Ghostwatch & Most Haunted"
@Matthew_Tilt checks out a new horror for Halloween - now vailable to stream

Ghostwatch remains one of my favourite horror works; something that still holds up despite us being 30 years past its social impact.
@hauntedulster is a love letter to a time when TVcould still trick its audience, and while it isn't heavy on scares, it moves in its own direction
"It's a film that lives and dies on the excellent performances within"
Our reviewer @Matthew_Tilt takes a look at Haunted Ulster Live which is available on UK and Ireland digital platforms from 14 October

It wouldn't be #spookyseason without a rewatch of this classic horror. So few films have such a long-reaching impact, or so easily batted away contenders to its crown.

"Nothing has been able to reproduce the exact formula, and that's why it remains so celebrated a quarter of a century later" ★★★★

We continue to look back over the last 18 months of What's in a Scene? and today we're revisiting Laura's essay on Eye's Wide Shut.
Comparing Kubrick's last film to a Matryoshka Doll, she explores the opportunities Tom Cruise's character has to rebel.

Our latest newsletter looks at Lynne Ramsey's stunning thriller You Were Never Really Here, and how the protagonist's trauma informs nearly every part of the film.
Specifically, we look at three key scenes, which escalate the tension throughout the film.

The Vourdalak was an incredible and atmospheric piece of filmmaking, with some wonderful practical effects.
"Some deeply uncomfortable moments help it stand out against other vampire films. And its beautiful cinematography & disturbing content make it stick in the mind long after the credits"

In Robert Aldrich's 1962 cult classic film, Bette Davis's near-hysterical portrayal of Jane Hudson drips with villainy, yet there are key points where the negative impact of her experiences is highlighted.

Some of the darkest scenes in David Lynch's beautifully disturbing Blue Velvet hinge on Roy Orbison's track In Dreams.
