Into The Darkness - Part 3



Jeremy's Journal
November 15th, 2018

Blood...so warm, so precious. Something I cannot live without. I must see it, I must use it, I must...release it. Watching it flow from the bodies of men, women, children...it excites me. I collect it, you see. I bathe in it. My Father, being the Old One and wisest of us all, taught us to respect the blood, to never let it go to waste. Blood...it soothes us, it makes our flesh strong...and it's needed to fulfill our duties to our Father. See, I say we, our, us...because there is more than the One. We are the many. We may look like some fragile brat...but deep within? Within, we have true power. The blood? Our fuel that keeps us going.

I don't drink it, I'm not a vampire, those don't exist except in superstitions and myths from some Eastern European nation, although I have visited there before and I must admit, I prefer the victims there. A certain naivety amongst the population. They bare witness to what I've done, and they claim it to be the work of some beast.

I am a beast, but not of that kind. Some of you wonder who I am, what I am. I know. I know what I am. I am that thing from your nightmares. The thing you don't understand but are so curious about, you'd literally give yourself up to me. You don't know my name, yet you'd willingly call out for it. Humans...pathetic beings. You let me in so easily...just like this one. This flesh I call my home now. Jeremy. I am he, he is us, we are one.

Someone tried to speak to him, tried to get through to him. A doctor of some kind. Once I figured out how to reach him, to break his armor, to show him that the blood...the things the Father could give us...power...knowledge...wealth...it was easy to get inside him. I took the form of that doctor...and now? Well...let's just say...Father...the Old One...He taught me well to respect the blood...to respect the flesh...

So no, Jeremy, no one can save you. The time is coming. Will others let me in? Will others partake in the blood sacrifice? Only Father knows...and Father? He knows all....

Zo's Reviews: Antlers

Image
  Antlers was directed by Scott Cooper and is based on a short story written by Nick Antosca ( Channel Zero ). The film stars Keri Russell, Jesse Plemons, Jeremy T. Thomas, where, in an isolated Oregon town, a middle-school teacher (Russell) and her sheriff brother (Plemons) become embroiled with her enigmatic student (Thomas), whose dark secrets lead to terrifying encounters with a legendary ancestral creature who came before them. This movie has seen its fair share of delays due to the COVID crisis that has been plaguing our world, but with cinemas finally opening up to full capacity, I was extremely excited to see that this movie was going to see the light of day. I had seen the trailer I think back in 2018 or 2019, and it was slated for a 2020 release. But, alas, the world had other plans for us. Thankfully, it's out now, and we can all enjoy it for what it is; a thriller with an ancient creature from Native American folklore (one that I actually believe exists...for real). The...

Zo's Reviews: The Mimic (Jang-san-beom)

Image
  The Mimic is a horror mystery written and directed by South Korean filmmaker Jung Huh and stars Jung-ah Yum, Hyuk-kwon Park, Jin Heo, and is about a mother of a missing child who takes in a lost girl she finds in the woods, but soon begins to wonder if she is even human. I literally just finished watching this film, and even though I shouted it out on my Twitter feed, I just had to come here to write about it right away. I find myself loving Asian horror lately. Between this, Metamorphosis , and Impetigore , I'm finding that there are some very intriguing and intense films coming out of that region that really need to get more eyes on them. So, let's talk about The Mimic ... As per usual, I won't drop any spoilers, but I will talk about the technical aspects of the film, going over what I liked about it, what I didn't like about it, etc. So, what didn't I like? Well...the main character of the mom was pretty damn annoying. But I suppose if I were a mother dealing ...

Zo's Reviews: Come Play

Image
  Come Play was directed by Jacob Chase and stars John Gallagher Jr. as Marty, Gillian Jacobs as Sarah, a couple of parents with a special needs child named Oliver (played by Azhy Robertson). Oliver is a lonely young boy who feels different from everyone else. Desperate for a friend, he seeks solace and refuge in his ever-present cell phone and tablet. When a mysterious creature uses Oliver's devices against him to break into our world, Oliver's parents must fight to save their son from the monster beyond the screen. All this creature wants is a friend...a friend FOREVER (insert diabolical laughter here). So, what did I think about this movie? It was...I mean...it was there. Stuff happened. But I don't want to trash this movie outright because really, it's not that bad. Speaking of the bad...I didn't like Gillian Jacobs' character in this movie. Sarah was written decently enough, but the entire time I felt like the character was just looking for excuses to not d...
