Home Sick

DIRECTOR
Adam Wingard
STARRING
Lindley Evans, Bill Moseley, Tiffany Shepis
When a traveling salesman infiltrates the house of a group of misfits, he whips out a suitcase full of razorblades, promises to kill someone for each of them, and then proceeds to cut himself with a razor. Clocked in at about four minutes into the film, this is where Home Sick officially stops being coherent.

Obscure: The Aftermath

As I mentioned before, we don't usually focus on video games here but the folks behind Obscure: The Aftermath were kind enough to pass me a copy of the game and it plays out much like a eighties slasher film, which totally seems to fit here at Oddity, so I thought I should let you all know about it.
