    What a horrific tail of delusion and abuse.

    The documentarians we're on point in this! They made sure to ask the right questions every time and never waivered in shutting down the lies that some of the participants were telling themselves.

    Definitely going on the list of Christmas movies to watch every year along with Muppets Christmas Carol. Absolutely brilliant.

As I said about my Terrified 1 review, Art is one of the best horror villains out to cinema. It's very rare we actually get to see a killer just killing because. He's hilarious and grotesque, he's a perfect slasher villain. I don't even really think he can…
