Summer horror just got a little cooler, and this time, it comes with a Spielberg twist. Tubi is giving us a thrilling gift on June 27 (aka the day after my birthday, thank you very much) with the premiere of Please Don’t Feed the Children, the directorial debut of Destry Allyn Spielberg.

Critic's Rating: 3.5 / 5.03.5Jim Ellis is riding the emotional roller coaster from hell — and he’s gripping the wheel with white knuckles. Duster Season 1 Episode 3 puts Jim through the wringer as his allegiance to Ezra Saxton starts to fray. One minute, Sax is a surrogate father offering toasts and bar fights in biker joints. The next, he’s name-dropping Paris Gilford — the very same woman Wade said to call if you ever needed C4. For Jim, that changes everything.
