    The Devils

    ★★★★½

    When 5 of the freakiest minions you’ve ever seen are nose to nose in a circle talking about, “our freak is not enough; we need a witch hunter.” That’s when you know.

    Frightening on a fabric-of-society level. Fanaticism will always be the realm of charlatans because all lies have their own escape hatch … pretending to believe even harder.

    Was not remotely prepared for the camera to have a “Seven Year Itch” level love affair with Chris Sarandon.

    What if we slid the lens up his gray leather boot starting at the toe? What if he stood perfectly centered in front of stain glass while purring the title? What is he was given endless leeway to subtly realize and convey on camera just how profoundly he was cucking Charlie? 

    Delicious.

    Can't currently recall a starker example of tears turning to laughter than when Dick's friend plays that fucking horn.
