Reviews

An awful horror TV short that's genuinely disturbing but for wrong reasons. Wouldn't recommend under any circumstance.

Father, forgive me for I have sinned. I expected trash but found atomic waste.

Pupa may very well've set a new record for me, This may very well be the singular worst thing I've watched.
