Hey, you know what’s coming that rocks ass? Michael Wehunt’s Nightjars, a dirtbag sicko memory-hole crawl that conflates a very particular type of nighttime monster with serial killers (which, of course, they are). Wonderful call-back to one of his earliest, oddest tales, too!:)

Before Sunset is probably more relatable these days than when it first came out, in a way
what with everyone hitting up their exes and the ones that got away on Facebook and breaking up stale marriages for what could have been lol
but back then, you had to write a novel to get back in touch

I really do love this film and its fever dream of a plot. The images are so striking, and the body horror so creepy, and the soundtrack will probably play in my dreams tonight. #HorrorWatch
