Genre icon Barbara Crampton makes sure to keep busy in the horror world. As we covered earlier today, a character with her voice and likeness will soon be added to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game, and now a trailer for another Crampton project – the horror film Snow Valley – has arrived online.

Most people would need to be a few mimosas in before breaking out into song and dance at brunch, but Joey Fatone knew the harmonies and choreography for ‘Nsync’s 2000 hit “Bye Bye Bye” like the back of his hand during his impromptu performance at Miami’s Palace drag brunch.
“What A Weekend Its Been Already!!” the venue wrote on Instagram. “We had the honor of being visited by *Nsync’s own Joey Fatone, who joined us and sang one of their biggest hits with our queens for our visitors.

Art student Palace Bryant coolly contemplates the people crowding up to her, wanting to hang out or have sex – but there’s not much else here
Despite a (potentially) interesting central character and a genuinely confrontational and uncomfortable opening scene, this feature from artist and film-maker Martine Syms spins its wheels dramatically, with indulgent, undirected performances and ideas. It is archly knowing about the art world, yet never quite earns its putative status as satire: a movie about someone graduating from art school that itself feels like a graduation project.
