I know most people probably won't dig This is The Sound of Say Anythings Room Without..
But I think the Playlist (album) is great when you listen to it as an album.
You can hear the Xiu Xiu influence and its intense, powerful and sounds like a therapy session.

One thing I like about writing horror criticism is that a lot of critics are super dismissive about these movies. Not me! It's easy to get me to go on your ride with you, and I definitely went on a ride with all of the articles linked in this thread.
Lemme share some links to some horror essays I've written. Lots of websites I worked for have folded so most of these are through the great @manorhq.com #1 Why Haven't You Checked the Children about When A Stranger Calls, a great companion to my Scream zine. manorvellum.medium.com/why-havent-y...

Excellent take! My angle on it was the nature of industrial accidents not as big dramatic crises but as the slow accumulation of tiny, preventable mistakes—basically this film is Bhopal as a farce—but I love how thematically rich this movie is!
