Much like A QUIET PLACE: DAY ONE, THE DEATH OF ROBIN HOOD is an intense and profoundly moving story of meeting your end on your own terms. Michael Sarnoski is 3 for 3 in making excellent films that make me cry. It's also insanely, brutally violent in a way I didn't expect.

There's a lot about the discourse over Obsession that bugs me, but one silly nitpick is that a feature length film is defined as over 40 minutes (per the Academy). So a 60 min film definitely counts. Therefore Milk & Serial is Barker's debut feature. Obsession is his theatrical debut.

Got a new remake analysis live today at

, and it's a first because I'm not positive if BREEDERS (1997) was meant to be a "loose remake" of BREEDERS (1986), despite being known as one. I dug through archival interviews, yet can't find definitive proof. An accidental remake?
