We decided it would probably be best if we watched something a little lighter next. With this in mind, our next movie will be Psycho Goreman, the newest feature from one half of the team that brought you The Void. If you’ve seen that one then you know we’re in store for something visually striking at the least. So check this one out and we’ll see you in two weeks.
