Viewing Notes

Holy fuck.

I need to read more Lovecraft.

I need this on Blu.

This should’ve played multiple times at horror events while I was living in Chicago.*

Love that Shusuke Kaneko is one of the directors. Had I known (and seen this prior) I would’ve asked him about it when I met him in the lobby at Pickwick Theatre.

*I’m guessing there’s some rights issue that’s keeping it from being screened in theater and getting a proper physical media release in the states.
