There is something particularly sinister about adapting familiar horror mechanics with modern technological applications and Spree is able to pull it off surprisingly well!

Here was a man who burst into Hollywood like a crazed Viking and took the arthouse scene by storm with his knack for historical accuracy and vision for original and unsettling creation. Now fastโฆ
