Anyone who wants to write, can. It isn't an arcane art. You don't have to be born with a particular skill set. You just think in a quiet place, come up with something you want to say, then put it down on paper somehow. The more you do it, the better you will be. That's it.

Shadowprowler - 2021 short film by Scott Derrickson

Finney Shaw, a shy but clever 13-year-old boy, is abducted by a sadistic killer and trapped in a soundproof basement where screaming is of little use. When a disconnected phone on the wall begins to ring, Finney discovers that he can hear the voices of the killer’s previous victims. And they are dead set on making sure that what happened to them doesn’t happen to Finney.

Being self critical [sic] is for editing, not writing. Writing is when you throw anything at the wall and see what sticks. They are two different practices that should be practiced separately. Write first, edit later.

V/H/S/85 (2023)

"V/H/S/85" is the sixth in the series of horror anthologies which began in 2012 with "V/H/S/", still the best in the series in my opinion. The seventh "V/H/S/" will debut on Shudder, sometime in 2024.

"V/H/S/85" is framed by a documentary tv show in which a group of scientists find a boy that they name "Rory". The scientists discover very quickly that he is not a normal boy. He begins to show characteristics of the people observing him. He felt to me like a homage of sorts to "The Thing".

There are five other stories interspersed within the "Total Copy" story. Two of the stories are connected. The first one is about a group of friends who decide to go swimming and camping and who should've heeded the "No Trespassing" sign. This one is followed by the weakest story, "God of Death" in which an earthquake occurs that destroys a television station in Mexico. The only survivor is the camera man who, along with the rescue team, encounter something they wish they hadn't. The next story is done by one person who exclaims to the crowd that technology is their god, going so far as to awaken a "God of Technology" in a virtual world that merges with the real world. Big mistake. The next story is the one that connects with the first story. At first, it looks like a graduation or birthday party or another big event in a young person's life. The event it signifies is what happened in the first story (and why). The last story is the best of the bunch. "Dreamkill" was directed by "The Black Phone" and "Sinister" director, Scott Derrickson. It was co-written by his frequent collaborator, C. Robert Cargill. It starts as a panicked 911 call and a killer making their way up the steps and a murder. An investigator realizes that it's an exact copy of something on a videotape that was sent to him some time before. The police stakeout a mail box and arrest the boy, played by Derrickson's son, and think he was the killer.

"V/H/S/85" is uneven, but the high points make it worth seeing. The faux documentary about "Rory" has a great ending. "Dreamkill" would make a good feature film all by itself.
