So this was fun as a secret screening tonight

Dirty, grimy, slasher

Feels like Barbarian had a bastard child with Texas Chainsaw and abandoned it for Rob Zombie to raise

If you like nasty 70s exploitation with a bleak feel, this is the puppy for you

@shudder.com really are doing well

- The reaper dancing with a woman holding lilies - the flowers of death - in her left hand.

- An angel tending to a dying old man

- The grim reaper - scythe over their left shoulder - holding the body of a child. He is looking back over his shoulder and seems to be looking directly at the person holding the note (or looking at the screen in this instance).
