Viewing Notes

Eleventh film in the TR halloween movie marathon. Jason ripped his Code Red blu for this (the same Blu that I own). I love this movie wasn’t so keen on viewing at 4 in the morning bc it really is such a slow burn, atmospheric horror flick. So I watched probably 2/3 before closing my eyes and just listening to it before dozing off. Also I didn’t realize this was considered “regional horror” but had I know maybe I would’ve guessed this title. Apparently this one had the most correct votes.

4:10 a.m.
Hint: The gold standard of surreal regional 70s horror
