THIS WEBSITE IS HEAVILY MONITORED BY THOSE WHO GLOW. IF YOU COMPROMISE THE MARKETPLACE YOU WILL BE VISITED. NO SCREENSHOTS. NO SHARES. NO LE
if you, like me, are still unsettled and ruminating on Bring Her Back, the latest release from A24 directed by the Philippous, then blackangeltapes.net might well be an internet rabbit hole worth wandering down.
set up as a shady shopping site, viewers can browse sale lots and ISOs about not only the Tari resurrection tape central to the ritual of this film, but also the cursed embalmed hand from their previous breakout film Talk to Me. This semi-officially ties the two films into the same universe, where magic/enchanted elements that can totally ruin your entire life are available online for exchange for bitcoin and other currencies.
...still pretty neat, if I'm being honest.
each entry features photos of the object, and often a short film clip of it being used -- or, in the case of the many tapes available for your viewing pleasure(?), a teaser of what terrifying fates have been recorded. it's almost like having a sample platter of potential future films, or at least some really creepy concepts for stories.
even more interesting are the comments beneath each entry, where one can see people placing bids for various objects, and talking candidly about rituals and deities in ways that leave what's unsaid open to stomach-churning implications. not to mention the flavor text and odd symbols seen around the site, which heavily hint at some sort of organized Satanic(?) group monitored by "those who glow."
there are some particularly interesting comments under the Tari resurrection tape, where one might find an all-too-brief look at another perspective on the events of Bring Her Back.
I'm still puzzling over the weird audio/visual loop one can access from clicking on the link for the This is Not A Cult production company, but perhaps that's a mystery for another time. for now, please feel free to creep around to your heart's content on the terrors that are already listed. I'm curious if this means other future films by the duo will be set in this same universe with this same mysterious group, or if it's just some creepy easter eggs for funsies.
