Saw a take that LONGLEGS was just a rote serial killer thriller with no depth, which is just insane to me. I get that it doesn't work for all, but it's also very personal- Perkins draws from his own upbringing and his relationship with a mom who protected dad's sexuality secret, even from her kids.

GOOD NEWS! A new cancer vaccine has shown progress in triggering POWERFUL and LASTING immune responses in patients with pancreatic AND colorectal cancer. The vaccine, known as ELI-002 2P, targets mutant KRAS proteins AND had a huge impact on PREVENTING or DELAYING cancer recurrence in patients.

I'm a very simple gal. Give me a horror movie that puts people on a big sea vessel infested with something gnarly (and preferably massive), and I'm happy. Which is to say that VIRUS is now playing on Pluto TV, so I'm currently stuck to the couch.
