Bloody Hell (2021)
Bloody Hell is an absolute blast. I have no fancy words to add, really — I’ll try — but I was absorbed by every twist and turn of this movie. From its description, “A man with a mysterious past flees the country to escape his own personal hell… only to arrive somewhere much, much, much […]
REPOST: The Million Eyes of Sumuru (1967)
