Perhaps it’s just been stretched out too long and the trilogy’s ideas would’ve been better off condensed into a single or, to be generous, a pair of films rather than three.

This is a nearly two and a half hour slasher that loves to push the limits of its R-rating in terms of its violence; please make no mistake in what you’re getting yourself into when you watch this film. It can be a lot, even for seasoned horror veterans.

A UFO film from South Korea that’s not really about UFOs at all, a story of misfits getting violently high off an unusual substance, a terrifying and emotional horror tale from Italy, an animated oddity and more were available to check out at this year’s dual in-person and online festival.
