ROOM 104 Season 2 is so worth your time. A great mix of surrealism, dark comedy, horror, fantasy, drama, & thriller— you never know, from one episode to the next, what you'll get! One episode involves a mysterious Russian (Michael Shannon) on an online date. Another is about a woman who's greeted by a disembodied voice when she enters the room. Rainn Wilson stars in an episode that may or may not involve time travel. There's even a chapter based on the story of cannibal Armin Meiwes. #Surrealism #MarkDuplass #JayDuplass #HBO #Room104 #Surreal #InstaHorror #Drama #Fantasy #AnthologySeries #TVShows #ArminMeiwes #MichaelShannon #MrMulvahill #RainnWilson #Horror #HorrorFan #DarkComedy

David Bruckner's THE RITUAL (2017) Great film. Also has wonderful connections to Norse mythology that have much to say about fatalism, free will, as well as what it means to leave guilt or grief in the past & begin living in the present again. 💀 Click the link in the bio to read more of Father Gore's article! #TheRitual #DavidBruckner #RafeSpall #Fatalism #NorseMythology #Jotunn #BasedOnANovel #Horror #InstaHorror #HorrorMovies #CreatureFeature #FilmReview

RENDEL (2017) is a Finnish superhero. He's brutal. He's bad ass. He hasn't got time for any of your shit. And he's going to tear down the bloodsucking capitalists, along with everything else they love. #Rendel #Superhero #Movies #ActionMovie #FinnishFilm #Superheroes #RendelDarkVengeance #RevengeMovie #Crime #JesseHaaja #Vigilante #Film #Violence

DEVIANT (2017) A terrible film about an important subject. There's so much right about the focus, but it's all poorly executed. Sex addiction is a real thing. For many it's a debilitating addiction as bad as any pill, powder, or alcohol. The situations the film's protagonist Jake finds himself in are powerful, scary, & ultra realistic. Problem is, the acting isn't even mediocre. The delivery of lines, aside from a couple minor players, is wooden. The screenplay's dialogue isn't great, but, again, the focus is honest. Too bad the film isn't better. Sex addiction's often treated with ridicule by those who don't understand it, so fiction, as it is with all important aspects of life, needs to help address it with a serious face to allow some the chance to better realise how badly it can destroy peoples lives. DEVIANT has its heart in the right place. The final product simply doesn't do the subject matter justice, & doesn't do much other than be unapologetically raw. The finale's the best part, &, lord, is it ever harrowing. #Deviant #PsychologicalHorror #InstaHorror #SexAddiction #Addict #Movies #PsychologicalTrauma #Addiction #BadMovies #Film #Disturbing

FREDDY'S DEAD: THE FINAL NIGHTMARE (1991) has some unsettling imagery. #FreddyKrueger #RobertEnglund #HorrorFan #Horror #ANightmareOnElmStreet #ANOES #FreddysDead #90s #TheFinalNightmare #1991 #RachelTalalay #Sequel #InstaHorror #HorrorMovies #Movies #DarkFantasy
