An experimental odyssey into the depths of a young man’s grief over his lost love, “So Long, Lonesome” captures the turbulent romance of Ryan and Angie — a pair of twentysomething Angelenos destined for self-destruction — as a hallucinatory kaleidoscope of passion, delusion & memory.

A commentary on the exploitation of the elderly fueld by the inherent greed of capitalism.
The height of subversive horror cinema is Jennifer’s Body. No, I will never budge on that. Yes, Cabin in The Woods is funny, Scream is very well made, and the Scary Movie franchise is …. there. But nothing is quite as satisfying as watching the teenage succubus that is Jennifer Check rip apart boys.

The major flaw of the series is that it’s hosted on Netflix and barely makes malicious comments about it despite being focused on the lives of people directly affected by the Capitalist mentality of the OTT corporation.
One thing’s for certain: Holmes has star power. We may not be able to see everything, but we’re certainly all watching.
Audition should be on everyone's list of Greatest Horror Film. So I urge you to give it a watch. Maybe watch the last twenty minutes with your hands in front of your eyes.
