Speaking as a mild-mannered, fair-minded, shoulder-shrugging film devotee, my feelings about this frightening TikTok video by “letsgofrightseeing” are roughly the same as the feelings held by many by elderly Cambodians about the terrorist regime of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge.

I’m serious — this woman is rhetorically, behaviorally and substantially no different than Pol Pot.

There are very few things that are lower on the cultural cinematic scale than hardcore horror fans (movies, fiction). Not elevated horror but the grindhouse / slaughterhouse mulchy kind. I’m not saying fans of this ghoulash are the equivalent of swamp slime, but they’re in that general ballpark. They’re here and “alive” in a general sense, but their souls are corroded. They’re like zombies in a way.
