    Girl needed some itch cream.

    Got under my skin a little so it hit the target it was after. A couple of nice nasty moments near the end too but it's also about the same thing every other modern horror movie is about.

    The VHS copy I watched didn't work the best so I'll probably pick up the Blu-ray soon.

    A lot of casual racism keeps this movie from getting the attention it deserves. Sadly it caused me way too long to finally watch it. A lot of times anthology horror has one or two weak entries but all the segments here are great. It's like you're watching four of the best Tales from the Crypt episodes. All the themes in the stories are still relevant as well, unfortunately. When Strange Fruit plays during a sequence of police brutality you know you're watching something legit.

    Leave it to me to be the one who actually enjoyed this. Don't even care that it can be perceived as pseudo-intellectual, A24 nonsense. We've seen this type of movie multiple times but it looks better than most things I've seen this year. Even though there's better commentaries on pop stars, the music in this was really good. Would buy a Moretti album.

    "I love your haunt. It's big and scary."

    Where did this come from? So much fun. Never overstays its welcome and really helped me get in the Halloween spirit.
