I LOVE PARIS brought the right vibes as @brooklynhorror.bsky.social's opening night feature. A lovable French found-footage hangout flick about a vampire musician who humorously chews through the industry; a cool-as-hell blend of Only Lovers Left Alive, Suck (2009), and What We Do in the Shadows.

Count me a CLAYFACE defender. It's never as low-down as Watkins’ earlier works or as heartrendingly rich as Flanagan’s best, but it benefits from both approaches. A contained body-horror noir that strays from the modern theatrical capes-and-spandex formula as a goopy villain origin story.
