As demons go, Hecate (Sarah Greene) isnt a bad deal.
You see, Lupus Dei is a hot property.
Chosen as a holy protector, he made his bones by gnawing on the bones of others.
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes, and Talbot let himself get enlisted for an undeclared to war.
Tasked with clearing the frontier of the original red menace, he betrays his own family out of disgust.
The Talbot tug of war is enough to break the ethical code of the stalwart Inspector Rusk.
Rusk meets his match in Larry Talbot.
Honor be damned, hes going to put that dog down.
It isnt the humor that he puts into it, which is obviously there, but the understated charm.
I think we lost the wise old Apache too soon, though.
I still need closure on his Ethan anecdotes.
Like, how did this guy become a wolfman?
Wracked with guilt and expecting god for forgiveness, Hecate advises the young rebel to embrace his sins.
This makes perfectly logical sense.
People who embrace their sins have no further need of the impediment of conscience.
Hecates family experience wasnt any less dysfunctional.
This reviewer doesnt want to see her die, though that might be preferable to salvation.
ButPenny Dreadfuldoesnt slaughter all the innocent lambs.
Bedlam reigns at the institution that bears its name.
But two scientists specializing in supernatural medicine are trying to bring some order to the chaos.
They do this by shooting an electrified impure compound and drilling it into the most chaotic inmates eyes.
Though, that only makes it worse.
Dr. Frankenstein (Harry Treadaway) is a real prick.
Dr. Jekyll is a mensch compared with Victor.
Yeah, good luck with that Dr. Jekyll.
Mad scientists are created to destroy.
This World Is Our Hell was directed by Paco Cabezas and written by Andrew Hinderaker.
