Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Slow Torture Puke Chamber is worth clearing space for. The writing in Slow Torture Puke Chamber treats its characters as people first, plot devices second. Making good on her pact with Satan, Angela Aberdeen's tortured and vomit-soaked soul descends into Hell. But Satan is not finished with her yet - He has more suffering planned for his ravaged slave. Angela is sent back up to the surface to stalk and destroy yet another victim. Hope Likens and Ameara Lavey lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2010.

Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Hope Likens's work here is the kind that gets referenced in career retrospectives. It makes everything else feel thin by comparison.
