The Empty Man (2020) – David Prior.

A not uninteresting admixture of creepy folk horror, and urban legend motifs, boasting a compelling central performance (James Badge Dale), an effectively doomy score, plus a grim, deliciously bleak resolution that eerily recalls mega-downers Jacob's Ladder and Angel Heart. I watched The Empty Man knowing absolutely nish all about it, and I found myself strongly drawn into the Scientologically sinister shenanigans almost immediately, which, in truth, happens all too rarely with contemporary horror these days.
