Avoid Santa Cruz!

Rating: 8/10 (2 April 2019)

My main two takeaways from this hugely entertaining flick:
One, the allegorical message that our veneer of civility and our technology and wealth do not much separate us from our primitive, destructive natures. They lurk just beneath consciousness, fighting to emerge and take us down.
And two, stay away from Santa Cruz. No, seriously, this is a deeply weird town. The Mystery Spot, the earthquakes, the serial killers, the vampires, and now this--it's just a place humans weren't meant to trespass on. Avoid at all costs.
