Please note these 'videos' have been chucked together very quickly. I wasn't happy with the video quality, so I made them audio only, and the audio quality is a little ropey too. Still, there are some good, focused examples here!

Les Revenants key scene analysis

มุมมอง 8563 ปีที่แล้ว

In this video, we look at a key scene from the Canal horror-but-not-really show Les Revenants. Les Revs is completely unconventional, and sets out to be the most deliberately confusing show in the history of the world ever. Yet there's lots to enjoy for fans of horror.
