Sam is best-known as a film critic, with bylines at Reverse Shot, Metrograph Journal, Filmmaker Magazine, Little White Lies, and more.

Her work often focuses on trans cinema (in both genre and form), body horror, and filmed sex.

Beyond writing about film, Sam has published short fiction and video game criticism.

She runs a newsletter, Leatherface Robocop, where she subjects her subscribers to scattered ramblings on Anna Delvey, heavy metal, urban exploration, and other cultural ephemera.
