    POE Now Knows Film!
    When I was introduced to the film's upcoming release through its enigmatic shorts, it raised the bar for what the film was to be. After seeing it for the first time, I was awe struct over the creator's take on the story and ability to keep you guessing what would be next. Falling far outside of normal, I loved the cinematic twists harking back to real horror storytelling - (Not Just Blood & Guts)! The best part is watching, again and again, noticing small subtleties and effects added to trick your eyes and mind. This film should live on in the realm of real horror storytelling. I look forward to what comes next from this crew of talented filmmakers. Cheers until then!!!

    Gets a "9" because we have to leave room for what comes next!!!
