We didn’t intend to watch a movie that handles Native Americans terribly for Thanksgiving. It just kind of worked out that way. ….Sorry.

The Silent Hill director made a movie about famous cryptid the Beast of Gevaudan. It is somehow not a werewolf movie, because it is too busy kind of being Jaws with a wolf. It does feature very thoughtful and sensitive casting (hint: this is sarcasm). Also, we would like to extend our apologies to our French listeners in advance.
