I've read two separate threads on two different subreddits today where multiple people openly confess to not realizing Smoke and Stack are played by the same actor in SINNERS, and I'm shook.

A body horror movie featuring practical effects and starring the daughter of FROM fave Harold Perrineau sounds tailor made for me.
Aurora Perrineau, KJ Smith, and Olivia Applegate are set to lead ROT, a visceral, female-driven psychological body-horror feature debut from writer-director Cat Del Re.
At the center is a creature that'll be brought to life through ambitious practical effects:

The new RETURN TO SILENT HILL trailer gives a brief glance at Evie Templeton (Wednesday) as Laura.
The actor also provided the motion capture and voice for Laura in Bloober Team's Silent Hill 2 remake that released last year.

Saw a take that LONGLEGS was just a rote serial killer thriller with no depth, which is just insane to me. I get that it doesn't work for all, but it's also very personal- Perkins draws from his own upbringing and his relationship with a mom who protected dad's sexuality secret, even from her kids.
