Halloweeklyep 157: Personal ShopperLewis, is this movie amazing? Or is it just us? I did not expect to sit down and discover one of my favorite ghost movies ever. This one does it different than the rest. This movie feels cold and isolating - with some of the best use of sound design since Twin Peaks: The Return. It actually spooked me a little after watching and I cannot say that about a lot of other movies. Give this a shot, you wont regret it.
