I liked this one, as I do all of writer/director Osgood Perkin's films (AKA The Blackcoat's Daughter, I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House), son of Anthony Perkins of Psycho. His brother Elvis Perkins performs the soundtracks. As with every movie of his, it didn't blow me away, but it didn't suck. He IS one of my favorite writer/directors, however, behind my favorite, Ari Aster (AKA Hereditary, Midsommar).
FBI agent Lee Harker (Maika Monroe) is charged with investigating occult crimes in 1990's Oregon, where the father of every family suddenly goes berserk and kills said family in every case. Plus, she spots a creepy man in the distance as she investigates: someone is orchestrating these murders.
Eventually, thanks to a little girl (a much younger Lee Harker with her Polaroid camera) who heard strange sounds and came outside and to find a crazy clown character (Nicolas Cage), Tiny Timlike, who tells her and her mother that he serves the man downstairs. "Where?" her mom asks, to which the insane man replies, "Everywhere!" On a visit to the mother's house as an adult, Lee finds the snapshot, and the man is captured and slammed into the hoosegow, but is highly unfazed. As if someone will make everything all right.
I'm probably the last one to have seen this, but if haven't, check it out. You won't regret it. (*Blows you an eerie kiss sound like in the movie.)
