Tucked away on South Locust Street is a small, intimate room adorned with instruments, speakers and soundboards. Soft lamps are perched on surfaces, while a tall light radiates a dim red hue on the floral couch in the middle of the room.

Rating: 5/10Director Osgood “Oz” Perkins landed on the horror scene with last summer’s “Longlegs.” He immediately struck audiences as a filmmaker harboring a specific — albeit bloody — vision.
