Each filmmaker brings their unique vision to these adaptations or inspirations of Poe, and if it’s not a perfect film by any stretch of the imagination, it has its moments of gore and fun.

Certainly it’s his best film in over 20 years, but if you look at those film (and please, don’t) that’s a pretty low bar to clear. So … Continue reading Hooptober 9.0 – Dark Glasses (2022)
