نحن ما نحن عليه

8.5 of 10. What horror and goth can be and should be. Not just scary, violent, disgusting, and bloody, but realistic; something that can and has happened. Where exactly it's set is not specified, but it feels like an Appalachian, backwoods location. Rather than going with another lost in the wilderness variation, this involves a small town and surrounding community with virtually no strangers wondering through. There's no easy mocking of talk'n styles, drunken hillbillies (or Squidbillies), or inbreeding. We get a much more developed, sincere story along with an actual plot setup and some mystery-like misdirection. Don't expect to be able to eat soup for a while after this.
