Using this as a placeholder for Dexter: Original Sin!
BUT, still be forewarned — I’m going to be talking about some super spoilery things about New Blood (and therefore obviously all 8 seasons of the original series), so still tread carefully, haha (actually, to play it safe, you should probably just go ahead and stop reading here if you’ve never seen New Blood!

Rewatched the new 4K, showed this to my daughter for the first time👍
Only saw this one other time, back in theaters when it first came out… and I liked it then, but I absolutely loved it now. Wow what a perfectly paced film. And the runtime just flies by like nothing!
