Now we need some connective tissue to make them move together. More, please!<br /><br />As usual, most of my criticism focuses on technical details. I do not know if "feces ARE" or "feces IS" is correct, but my feeling is that "feces" is a collective singularity, and that "is" sounds right.

The Cheetos, the creepy tunnel, the horror of wondering if in his vampiric state the guy may have offed his own child...The weird intimacy of the killing of the chick in the first one...I start to think I'd like to know more about this Hunter guy, his motivations for going to these dark places, etc., beyond the apparent humanity that he possesses in wanting to give these creatures peace, and then part of me thinks that would kind of spoil the fun of following along and seeing what he sees, and wondering...All right, you got me hooked, keep 'em coming!Babelnoreply@blogger.com
