Viewing Notes

Definitely feels like a Clive Barker story despite lacking any sense of mystery. Plus goes thru the origin again and doesn’t really address any of the societal issues. The racism feels so forced bc oh it has to be part of the story since we’re doing the origin again. That said, Tony Todd is great as are the practical FX. Wish they would’ve done more with the location and having it set in New Orleans.
