😸

Summary: No particular depictions of violence or harm to animals.


The original title of this film is simply Horror, flashed dramatically in the opening scene. I am reminded of the Word Art popular a decade ago, motivating people to put a gigantic sticker in the kitchen reminding you to “EAT” or in the living room permitting you to “Live, Laugh, Mario Kart”.  There may come a day that I need these reminders of what to do in specific rooms of my house, and please don’t overlook the water closet.  Until then, I can watch The Blancheville Monster, confident that I will not accidentally Laugh or Love because “Horror”.
