I can’t say this confidently, because I have done the bare minimum amount of research, but without being too declarative, Rooster Illusion features more articles on cannibalism than any other film review blog ever.

Things are happening. Things about relationships. Things about power. Things about giving up. Things about sex. Things about things.
