Yes, the darkness returns, not the best way to start the summer, but a damn dark way, mwa-hahaha. Join the bleak, but don't drown in it! Seriously, these are not uplifting movies of the human experience nor are they just horror. Their existential dread and deeply emotional human human dramas...in possibly in the best sound and quality you're gonna see in a theater.
This collection of the saddest in cinema takes its toll on your soul.
