    I've shared on here before but never a bad time to re-up. A friend was an AP on a movie filming here in GA with Hugh Jackman (I am guessing Prisoners) and while he's filming that he's getting ready for The Wolverine and basically somebody followed him around with brown rice and chicken all day long

  • 🩸💀 The Horror Guru 💀🩸 @thehorrorguru.bsky.socialBluesky · Sep 5, 2026

    The Whisper Man (2026) is an old school 90s serial killer thriller. Think Silence of the Lambs, or 2013's Prisoners, with a little bit of The Black Phone thrown it. Its mystery is pretty easily to solve early tbh, but the movie is elevated by a great cast and fantastic tension building! 👍

    Do feel like there were a few moments that really crossed a moral boundary for me. Prisoners still deserve some dignity that imo the movie sometimes clearly violated. Otherwise very good. 4/5 stars. Not literally the best movie ever. It's no West of the Tracks.

    It sucks my first movie I watched with him was The Day after Tomorrow, where he was too old to be a teenager. Then I remember seeing him in Zodiac, where (to me) he looked too young to be a father across all those years. So he he is flip flopping from too old and too young for evey movie. I love him in Prisoners, but he still looks like a cosplayer who accidentally became a police officer there
