Scare Package Review (Film, 2020)
Scare Package is a bit of a different beast. The stories are connected by the idea of film itself. The cold open sets up the film as a meta horror, with a man dissatisfied with his career as a cold opener character in a horror film. His job is to flip the street sign or plant the cursed object in the remote mansion. Eventually, we wind up in a video rental store where a new employee is being trained on everything he needs to know about the rental business. These lessons are taught through terrible b-movie parodies that...really aren’t that far off from the real thing.
Fat Girl Review (Film, 2001) The Archives
Fat Girl is the exception that proves the rule. Breillat presents the masterpiece of the New French Extremism in this unnerving suspense/horror about two young sisters exploring their sexuality on vacation. The older sister, Elena, is a beautiful young woman who falls head over heels for a college student, Fernando. The younger sister, Anaïs, is fat. She is considered a burden by the family and used as a literal anchor by the family. Elena is only allowed to leave the safety of the gated holiday villa if she takes Anaïs with her. Nothing will stop Elena from pursuing a sexual relationship with her first love, even her own sister literally in the room where it happens.
Dead by Daylight 4th Anniversary Event Review

If someone grabs or breaks one (survivor vs killer objective), a new one generates somewhere on the map. Everyone in a match can interact with a crown because five crowns total can generate in each match.
