A friend of mine told me yesterday that he looks to my Letterboxd reviews for recommendations when it comes to schlock/horror films, so I thought I'd take a dive into the murky and wonderful world of SOV horror and see if I could find something worth his while. Turns out I did.
The Soultangler will not be for everybody. It is incredibly strange and disjointed, with a dreamlike tone that I'm not sure was intentional, but I loved it. You…
