It is a new high bar for genius in the New England Gothic. It is brilliant, beautiful, sorrowful, and genuinely terrifying. It's exactly the sort of film I'd like to see The Red Tree become.

I will watch it. I really liked The Blackcoat's Daughter (2015) and everything I have I heard about I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House suggests it is in all ways a more complex film.

I am sick of the news. I am sickened by the news.

I had reached this point around the actual election. Well, approached it wholeheartedly before then, but put myself into a news blackout very soon thereafter. Not even looking up the weather anymore. In a way it sucks - I am completely missing major things, like the deaths of Leonard Cohen and John Glenn (which I only found out about here in these pages), or even local things (like the tragedy of a warehouse fire in Oakland) - but in a way I like to think it's helped me even the tiniest tad to regroup a bit inside. I'm trying to convince myself it's just a temporary thing, an abstract tendency somehow related to my inner-hermit or such, but I almost just don't know how to cope anymore continuing to immerse myself in the world. Please excuse my venting, it's just that I saw something in your words that resonated with what I've been feeling.
