    Super peculiar one by a great director Nacho Vigalondo
    Cool dark adult version of something kid-like! I saw this awhile back then really lost interest in the series now I'm loving it! The director of this one did other enjoyable films like Colossal, Open Windows, and a segment of VHS:Viral which I've enjoyed all 3 a fair amount. I quite enjoy things that are super effed up and weird and I don't mind that this has a lazy story.
