The House That Jack Built, that movie is about a hell of a lot more than just another serial killer. Matt Dillon does such an amazing job with that role.

    Yeah, it definitely caught me off guard with how clinical everything was while also rapidly falling off the rails.

    It was telling you that it was an allegory the entire time! But I didn’t see it at all until it hits and outright tells you what’s going on. The second watch is even better than the first, once you know to look at things for what they really are.
