Cenobites are people, too… I hate that I’ve started to need more out of my horror film viewing experience. I used to be fine with a movie only having gratuitous violence and nothing else. Recently, I’ve been needing a little more substance. I think it’s because of the slow burn / less violent / well-written …

This movie could be described as the love child of H.P. Lovecraft, W.S.
