Response: Long stretches of darkness where I’m looking at how dirty my laptop screen is, I really oughta clean that thing. Dis dat new horror. Latch-key kid haunted chamber drama. Experimental fizz. Exterminating Angel filtered through Stan Brakhage in Blair Witch mode. Mystical backrooms doorways appearing and shit. Your parents are upstairs, perpetually sitting in darkness on opposite sides of the bed. Pick up yer fuckin legos kids! Kept waiting for a slouching hell beast. A bit of a Rorschach. Under the bed is a portal to monster land. Abuse. Abuse and pain and violence. And Kevin spent the rest of his long years as an upside-down, ceiling-dwelling ghostie.

Score:

Autumn Vibes: 1/5

Scares & Chills: 4/5

Cultural & Cinematic Importance: 3/5

Monster Action: 1/5

Hint for Tomorrow’s Movie: Wherein we go back, yet again, to the pseudo-vampire wheelhouse.
